So I can't totally ruin the suspension, but a 2" drop is standard in my world. The problem is no one makes coilovers (good ones anyhow) for 20 year old Corollas. I'll figure something out. These are pretty popular overseas and there was a performance hatchback model that was kinda hotted up so I'll probably crib notes from that once I get them into english. I also know a 4ag 20v swaps in... so there is that.

The trick is to buy a used set of Megan/KSport/D2/Tein/Whatevertheberkeley for cheap, send them to FEAL for rebuild/reworking. Receive magic back in the mail. Win at life.

When it comes time to hunt that E36 M3 down, I'm calling you. You seem to be able to unearth ANYTHING random and unusual.

So a Toyolla wagon was one of your first cars?

Toyolla sedan WAS my first car. 1993. Paid 6643.50 in 1997 with 47k on it. It was as much a stripper as possible. It had a transmission and windows. Strange bit of trivia, it was the first car my uncle DJ's ill-fated car dealership sold. He actually sold it for me the second time, as well.

Nice score. How about a 20V swap?

It's on my radar. The question is do I go boosted, or shoot for 10k rpm NA. I'm a boost junkie, I'm not real familiar with this whole not turbocharged thing. To me that's cars you buy for your grandma. Problem is this car has been very well maintained (like, shockingly so) for a 23 year old corolla, and I'm hesitant to go about ruining a perfectly good driveline for something that I can no longer drive year round. We'll see what happens. For now I'm going to attempt to try a different wheelhouse and go with slow car fast, as opposed to my usual attempt of trying to beat everything with brute force.

Brute force? I like brute force. It's why I autocross a Mustang instead of a Miata.

I'll just leave this here.

Needs more luggage rack.

I'll just leave these here

JDM Headlights FTW

Holy crap I just found this little gem, expensive but cool. Check out the air fragrance control system:

I thought you were supposed to be working on working. That fragrance box is gangsta tho.

I'm at the FILs office today, all I have is to browse the web.

Find me some crazy hoshinos then.

That one with the Demon Cambers, i've been lusting after for years.

I want it with the amber fogs that the black one you posted (then maybe removed? i don't see it anymore) on it.

Ah ok it showed up again.

Demon Camber car + these fogs = ALL THE WIN.

Rota Shakotans- Those are not them, but they'er close enough to make it work. I've considered it.

I don't like the wheels on the black car. Too played.

Sakuras?

Orrrr..... whatever these are?

Wow... I like those. I suspect however due to the vintage appearing nature and the fact that they say work on them and appear to be unwelded splits- they're probably about 3x as much as the car. If not more.

feel free to stop by in ohio on your way back

I get the feeling its gonna take me like 3 days to make 2 states- Indiana and Ohio lol- so many GRMers.

And probably Illinois too. I want this trip to take two days, but it's gonna take a damn week. LOL

...And you have to have a beer and/or tacos with me so I can say goodbye to Miyuki.

I like beer AND tacos. So that makes another stop- but you live right by my parents place so that doesn't count.

There's no logical reason for it, but if you take a more southern route, you're welcome with us in KY.

I have a sister in KY. Logic tells me to AVOID it as she's completely insane, but you just never know.

Also, y'all are making me feel all warm and fuzzy, wantin' to meet me and stuff.

15" demon cambers only came x7 and x7.5 right? My brother has those on his MKI jetta coupe and they are all the win. They would win on that toyolla!
