RollaNut Posted April 29, 2009 Report Posted April 29, 2009 Hi Everyone, This is my 3rd corolla so far, the first two being KE70's. haven't made any threads for this yet, although it is only stock atm, so not too exciting :) Currently have a 4ac powerhouse in the engine bay, with stock suspension and sway bars making fast corners a dream :P few bits of rust, mainly around the fuel cap and near the back right wheel arch. I was planning to search for a two door AE82 Hatch, but currently funds aren't permitting this, so I've decided to tinker with this one for now. Current plans are a 4A-GE conversion, lowering, performance exhaust and extractors and a bit of tidying up of exterior paint (cut and polish works a charm), and putting in a proper rubber boot mat. Currently the most expensive thing in this car is the sound system. As the car only cost me $250 to buy of my brother, it isn't hard. I have a Kicker Sub with two kicker 6*9s in the back, I also have two alpine 6" splits in the front. I have a few photos from a recent drive to eildon to show. hopefully will be putting up more pics of the engine bay and interior/sound system soon. Please let me know of any ideas or comments :P Quote
Benny88 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Posted April 29, 2009 cool car mate its a good starting point cos its already blue. my advise would be get the 4age and make her tidy then it gets really fun to drive. Quote
RollaNut Posted April 29, 2009 Author Report Posted April 29, 2009 yeah the blue is an awesome color on this car. just got to fix up the little rust spots and get the bonnet repainted. then i will be soooo happy :P can't wait to upgrade to a 4a-ge. hopefully won't be too much of a mess doing a convesion. do you know if the engine mounts are the same for the 4a-ge as they are in my car?

Benny88 Posted April 30, 2009 Report Posted April 30, 2009 to be honest i have no idea but when the time comes hit em up in the tech section and i'm sure someone can give you a good response. considering that they came with a 4age as an option i would think it can't be too far off Quote
ae93rolla Posted April 30, 2009 Report Posted April 30, 2009 to be honest i have no idea but when the time comes hit em up in the tech section and i'm sure someone can give you a good response. considering that they came with a 4age as an option i would think it can't be too far off honestly a 4age should bolt straight on my mates got the same car and bolted his straight in but i would opt for a 4agze, and lower it coz they love to go sideways:D Quote
RollaNut Posted May 1, 2009 Author Report Posted May 1, 2009 hmmm 4agze sounds nice. i was thinking of waiting till i get an AE82 hatch to go with the gze. see which comes up first i guess. still, lowering it and upgrading the breaks would definitely be a good starting point BTW. will be taking some more photos of the beast tomorrow. should be posting up very soon! :wink: Quote
