First Corolla

[stanza]

Hey everyone!

I have just bought my first corolla, I moved to Melbourne at the start of the year and Iv been wanting a project for ages. Anyways, i got this for $100 so yeah.

It's got no rego, but i'll work on that over the next few weeks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Any advice about anything would be great,

 

Thanks!

Nice buy! $100, you can't complain about that. Looks like it's in very good condition too!

 

Any plans for it apart from getting it rego'd?

I'd like to stiffen up the suspension as much as i can and maybe a 4AGE. First a handling, God i hate body roll.

Is the engine thats in it now fairly reliable? also is what size is it?

It'd be a 4k motor, and k motors are renowned for their reliability. It's also i think 1290cc but all this can be found out on the build plate on the firewall. good luck with rego buddy.

 

**EDIT- OOOOOOO air con as well, score mate!

Nice buy for $100, I think you should give me those rims. Haha, nah nice buy either way man. I'm sure it will look the goods in the future

are you on p's or anything because remember not sure about vic but in nsw you can't have engine swaps and all the goodies :dance: if not you have like no limitations and it will become a beast i reckon a nice 4agze or sr20det lol

 

rust id say bog and fibreglass.

 

and yea, you goin for looks or engine mods? or both?

I still have my nsw green P's, but i have had them from before the restrictions came out so i can drive whatever :blush: . I bogged about half of it today, I'll just get it rego'd first up. I'm going for performance over looks, i'll fix up the paint at some stage though. I'm so happy about having this, I'm getting rather sick of driving the GF's excel :dance:

hyundai = :blush:

lol

cool performance turbo or supercharger or na?

 

i want a supercharger but p plate laws are craphouse. go supercharger i reckon bit more different and don't rev that lil 4k past 7500 or it will die but other than that there a really good engine, first thing id say you should do is read through the entire faq on this site escpecially "how to build a tough k motor" its very informative and a good place to learn about the k engines and how to make them good for cheap :dance:

 

hope it goes well mate will be a great car :bash:
