ok I had this thing for like 3 years and it had alot of wireing issues. hey Im still learning and now that I look back on it, I've done alot to it. (Oh and I had alot of trouble with the engine but hey I was 16 at the time..not bad though)

when I first got her she had mint interior. so I striped it out and Luis has it now. As long as I have my Sparco seat Im happy. here are pictures of my first "mods" to her.
this is what the motor looked like when I got it....not pretty, and it smoked.
Image
Image
Image

first thing I wanted to do is rebuild the powerless 4age
Image
after the Rebuild (new cams and pistons, oil pump, and seals)
Image
took out the power steering and A/C
Image

took out the sound deadening which had to weigh 20 odd pounds.
Image

next thing to give way was the fatory LSD

Image
Image

replaced it with a Kaaz 2way LSD and also got T3 4link+lat bar, new brake lines, new diff seals, brake rotors, T3 shifter kit, and tanabe F/R swaybars)

Image
Image
Image
along with my Espriler JGT500 exhaust with custom test pipe.^^^

after drifting it in parking lots and emty places, my motor blow (head gastket blow)
so I saw Luis was selling his 4agze and I bought it and installed it with duel oil coolers, and relocated the battery and made a awesome control panel for the car too.
Image
Image

Im geting coilovers later on in the spring and stich welding the body and adding a rollcage in late spring (will up date)

Nice dude. I fucking love these old corolla's.

There is a guy on a local forum that installed a KA24 from a 240 into his for some more power, and then I he just swapped in an SR20DET. I haven't seen it in person yet, but I really want to go to some of the drift events.

I've done alot to my ride new paint, new bodykit, Front mount intercooler, ned.rollcenters soon.

well I got a new Origin Stylish body kit that costed me $475 and I still have to payback JLM (sorry bro)
Image

Finished my front mount intercooler. This is a temp Im gonna get custom bent pieces so I would only have 2 or 3 pipes at the most.
Image

To do a front mount I made a custom outlet manifold for the supercharger. I can make anyone these for $120
Image
Image
Image
So I sanded the car, preped it, primed it and right now its ready for its paint. Im going for a gray but I dont know if I want to have the F/R bumpers and hood black, what do you guys think?
