Cool sounds sweet!

Mine is an AE82 CS Seca with 4AGE 100kw engine conversion from an AE92 Gti...

Engine, Gearbox, Struts, Brakes, ECU, the lot...... All done in a carport, by myself, ghetto style...

15" Alloys, CD Stacker, Lowered springs, and two of the biggest damn horns you ever seen.... :) Off a Leyland bus or sumthin?

Solid Engine Mounts, K&N Pod, Straight thru exhaust...

Ridiculously fast for a Corolla, not sure how fast it is down the 1/4 tho... Can't bring myself to take it, keep on taking the Skyline :(

Eats a BA XR6 (non turbo) Ute tho...

EDIT: Come to think of it, it's flogged a stock UZZ31 Soarer with the 1UZFE V8, a VN SS Commodore with Exhaust...

ever had it on a skidpan? i have had mine on one twice and it was the best fun i have ever had on four wheels. plenty of sideways action too. fortunatley i have never had a lose before, and hopefully wont have one too soon. haha i dredd to think what it would be like.

Nup, no skidpan action as yet... Just had a few hairy moments with lift off oversteer when running mega camber on the front with 14" retreads and 13" steelies with 165's on the back!

Binned that setup real quick.

If you don't catch it or have too much speed it just does a 180 and you end up facing backwards... Not something you want to try in traffic :P

Have to update the kill list too. Lent it to me mate the other day. Came back bragging about the older WRX he kept up with and the Boxster he toasted???

I asked him what he was revving it to? He said oh bout 6500....

Told him it keeps pulling to 7500! Now he want to buy it!

hahaha

sounds like a beast! never done a 180 in traffic before, doesnt sound like very much fun. haha. would love to be able to toast more than just charades and excells. haha

my rev limiter cuts in at 6500, mmm wonder what an extra thousand revs would do?????

lol

    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
    • With ordering the belt, you're doing water pump and the idler and tensioner at the same time too yes?
    • This is just a dumb way of keeping the wastegate closed to make more boost. Undo it and either follow the factory setup or redo it properly. Manual boost controllers just use a spring preload to determine when to close in response to boost pressure so it no longer vents to atmosphere.
