Coils:

i dont know about this even if you try to go cheap its till going t cost you a boat load to mod... and in the end you will be limited by the chassis you chose i would rather sell and get something with a chassis that can use the power...

For the simple fact that you reside at the coast you should keep it N/A. 20valve VVT with individual throttle bodies and cams will be an awesome runabout in the Rolla's rather lightweight body. Matt it to a 6spd box and LSD and you will have a quick reliable ride!!:idea:

I think you should build an E30 instead so we don't have to ban you!!!:fencelook:

hehe I would build a e30.. but my dad wants the corolla as its going to fuel efficient . Sorry I haven't posted pictures, the car has landed in our garage.. and will take photos by latest Friday :rollsmile:

 

[JpRoux]

okay small update... Before I can even start with the car I am waiting for the paper work to arrive... do not want to touch this car until its on my name.:rollsmile:.. Though my dad thought it was awesome enough to surprise me with the sound for my birthday which is the 8th April :rollsmile: :joy:

 

[JpRoux]

papers still have not arrived.. but here is a small glimpse of what has already happened, as I've been promised the papers. You can see in the one photo, how worried my grandfather is :biglol:

We expected way less rust.. but no worries :thumbs:. This will be my first time respraying a car.. so before I begin with spraying the corolla, im going to give my bmx a few coats :tease:


So bit more rust appears!!


My grandpa walking away worrying about this build...







Will be uploading more photo's after I've finished my semester exams...

 

[JpRoux]

Hey guys sorry for not posting updates.. university has gotten hetic .. But the car is full functional on the road!! Abit of a sleeper atm without the rims and coils...:roflol:

Will upload photos as soon as I get around to doing so.. Finally got a break and its been a few weeks!!

Got an offer on the car so most likely it will be gone to welcome in another e36... :ty:
