SloRolla Posted May 25, 2017 Report Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) Hey guys, I've been lurking here a while and finally thought it's time to post a proper thread! This story starts on the 3rd of October 2016, a day before my 16th birthday. For around 3 years I was looking for an r32 Skyline until I was convinced by my dad that a Skyline was the last car I'd want on my Ps, I knew he was right so I went on the hunt for a RWD, nice looking car that had that "cool factor" So I searched for a corolla for about a week and this popped up. Started as a full granny spec ke30, everything original and on the 3/10/16 I went to have a look. Instantly fell in love and went home very happy. Came with original papers, service history and warranty! The interior is very clean, however has the generic dash cracks. Only a few small rust spots that will be soon fixed. It also came with a welded diff, pain in the butt, I'm looking for another but finding it hard. Things I've done: - Hayashi TVRs 14x7 -7 - Michelin Energy XM2s - Tacho in clock hole - 1800w Sony subwoofer - 800w Kenwood amp - Sony Xplod 3 way speakers - JVC headunit - New coil - Refurbished the carby - And just a general tune up Things to be done: - Lowered by 2in back, 2in front. ✓ -Fender Mirrors ✓ - Full 2in exhaust with dual 2/2.5in blastpipes ✓ - Full respray (paint is very poor) - Duck tail - Front splitter ✓ - and generally just tidy it up Edited October 7, 2017 by SloRolla 2 Quote

SloRolla Posted June 14, 2017 Author Report Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) Just a small update while I'm getting the funds for bigger things. I managed to snag a set of 2" blast pipes brand new for $75 and should arrive on Friday or tomorrow. Also got an old wheel from our RV tarago and thought it looked good. However, it'll need a re-trim and clean up. Edited June 14, 2017 by SloRolla Quote
ke70dave Posted June 15, 2017 Report Posted June 15, 2017 That torago wheel does look good, nice score. Does the indicator cancel work? I'm not sure how much blasting a 3k is gonna do, but will at least look shiny on your car:D 1 Quote

I'm not sure how much blasting a 3k is gonna do, but will at least look shiny on your car:D The cancel works like a charm! I just got them because they were cheap and look better (personally) to a cannon or droopy. And in like 3 years when I build a cammed 5k or 4AGE it'll sound a little better :D Quote
maccat01 Posted July 26, 2017 Report Posted July 26, 2017 Nice car mate. Ref: the dash cracks. If you are in Nsw there is a bloke out Richmond way near Sydney who will refoam and repad the dash with standard style vinyl in a few colours for $450ish. Regards Mac 1 Quote

Regards Mac Yeah cheers man, at this point in time $450 is a bit of a stretch. Focusing on a few other bits and pieces first. Quote
SloRolla Posted August 8, 2017 Author Report Posted August 8, 2017 Little bit of progress over the past month or so, mainly just getting the funds. I also put on the blast pipes I got, (just on the end of the stock set up until I get a full 2") Also, I got some Kings Super Lows, however, I need some shorter stroke shocks to keep them captive. Any recommendations? Quote
SloRolla Posted September 3, 2017 Author Report Posted September 3, 2017 Managed to put the front springs in and I'm very happy with the out come :) I also got a lip from eBay, however it sat like junk so we shaved it down to sides and now wraps around nicely. Quote
SloRolla Posted October 7, 2017 Author Report Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) A snap from ToyotaFest! I got the fender mirrors a week or two before the show It was my first event and I loved every minute! A guy there was selling some roof racks so I picked them up, and I think they look great! And I also got my Ps! First time, and the corolla took me on the test and got me 95% of my hours! Edited October 7, 2017 by SloRolla Quote
