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 haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
