furryfrog Posted December 12, 2009 Author Report Posted December 12, 2009 Thanks for the comments :y: Spent today knocking up a gearbox xmember Also finished off the engine bay wiring, need to charge up my battery and then cross my fingers. After i know it runs i will take some time to tidy up all the wiring and the rest of the interior. Quote
furryfrog Posted December 21, 2009 Author Report Posted December 21, 2009 (edited) Took the car for a drive around the block. Note to self tighten up caliper bolts before driving off. :) Now its time to cleanup all the small things, get a headunit in there and chop up the grille to fit on with all the chrome bits that are missing. The shell came with a full tank of fuel, I'm not sure if its 98 or 91 cause there was valve saver stuff in the boot. Going to baby it for half a tank and get some 98 in there to start washing it out. Car feel very dosile, i don't think it likes old fuel and 10:1 comp. Edited December 21, 2009 by furryfrog Quote
Evan G Posted December 21, 2009 Report Posted December 21, 2009 please give the cooler a dust coat of paint for the sleeper look, drain that old fuel out PLEASE! can't imagine what that sr is thinking with 91 (in japan they use 106 octane) Quote
cuzzo Posted December 21, 2009 Report Posted December 21, 2009 What brakes do you have on the front to fit 14's? Quote

Funking-Awesome Posted December 21, 2009 Report Posted December 21, 2009 Man this thing looks good! It would be pretty pokey too! Quote
furryfrog Posted December 21, 2009 Author Report Posted December 21, 2009 (edited) please give the cooler a dust coat of paint for the sleeper look, drain that old fuel out PLEASE! can't imagine what that sr is thinking with 91 (in japan they use 106 octane) i considered spraying the cooler, i don't mind it showing i drive the car once a month if I'm lucky. Will see how much attention it gets. With the fuel i remember seeing some octane booster at my old work, will just throw that in the tank for now. What brakes do you have on the front to fit 14's? They are out of a jdm ae86, brakes struts discs. I had to run a 5mm spacer on the front cause the rcas cause the lca ball joints to touch the rim. (sigma arms) The brakes are ok but they wouldnt take kindly to any form of trackwork. I hope one day you will be ready to do another corolla. The beast is back!! looks good mate. Cheers, Ive being following your progress aswell, makes mine look like cakewalk. Man this thing looks good! It would be pretty pokey too! Yeh its a fun car, I'm going to take it to my old workshop get it on the hoist and go over all the nuts and bolts again before i take it a longer drive or even at speed. Not having the car on the road for so long i forgot how nice it is just putting around in the old girl. Thanks for the comments. Edited December 21, 2009 by furryfrog Quote
