WOW it really is dead in here :hmm: I've got 2 mates who bought Corolla's a while back, will get them to jump on this site for some inspiration :y: Also where can I order stickers? Might as well start representing seeing as my car should be out of the workshop in a few weeks :P

WOW I totally forgot about this thread...... Was reading everything I said in the original post and just couldn't stop laughing..... damn I was dumb :y: Anyway, I am 16 no more :D turned 17 in May. Unfortunately I still have my L's, but will be going for my P test AGAIN in exactly 1 week. Failed the first time coz I did just over 40kmph in a school zone, I almost started punching myself! So I've had a lot of drama's with the car over the last couple of months, to be honest, I haven't even driven it in about 9 months :P It's been sitting at a workshop up here in Darwin for a while now as me and my dad rooted the car. As I had my L's and couldn't drive it on my own - and visiting the ladies with daddy next to you isn't cool - I let one of my "former" mates drive it. No way I would let him drive it alone so I was in the passenger seat at all times. So one night going to his place after a party we go around a corner and it just dies. Next day we call a towtruck to pick it up and take it home, so there it was, sitting at home with my dad trying to figure out what the problem was. Then every time he though he'd fixed it, he'd do something else to it :( At the end he ripped out the dash, cut ALL the wires from the ECU, and pretty much after the whole "festival" the car had NO interior. After that, I bought a MicroTech LT8s, individual coil packs, X4 ignition module, and a hand controller, which is now being installed. The guy fixing the car, called Dr. Josh, has told me it should be another 2 weeks until I get it back. I'll add some photo's from when I first got it coz I only just realized that there's one photo in the original post. Will keep this updated as I go :hmm: This last photo was just a joke, didn't actually take the car out like that..... Also forgot to mention that I've got a AE92 dash sitting here waiting to be put in, the guy fixing the Corolla told me it'll fit right in there, chances are really small that the mounting brackets will have to be modified a tiny bit though which isn't really a problem :P

I just had a read of this WHOLE thread. This is one amazing car. Can't wait to see more pics :y: Have you got anything planned for the car in the future?

Yea rollaclub seems pretty dead hey? Well if I can get some rollaclub stickers, I'll put them on both my cars, and maybe even my dads XR6 lol

Well my rolla should be running pretty soon (I bloody hope), so when I get my P's AND the car's fixed, I'll be out and about :yes: But if I get my P's before the car is fixed, I hope you guys don't mind me tagging along in a XR6?

Yea man, the car's got a few problems at the moment, I replaiced the distributor cap, rotor, coil, coil leads and ignition leads, then I bought a new battery, and it's still not working!!! Gonna go get a new ignitor today, let's hope it fires up! Thanks for the great comments guys, I don't' think I'm gonna be getting a dogbox, I don't have that kinda money... gonna be redoing the dash though, with a carbon fibre look, maybe airbrush the graphics on the bonnet and modify the wheels etc. I'll keep u boys updated. Cheers

3rd of October......?

Nah parts aren't here yet. Gonna go check tomorow and hope for the best. I'm probably gonna go to the wreckers as well just to get the car running, I don't like it just sitting there.... she wants to be drivin, with her hands in the air, in a cloud of smoke... I better stop coz I'm just making myself excited. Car should be running by the 3rd, can't believe that 4 parts are taking this long... where can I get aftermarket coil, distributor cap, and rotor? Where is everybody gonna meet for the cruise? Or you still deciding on that?

Yea that's just to keep all the bolts in....... the coke and ciggarettes might give it some extra giggawatts though

I'm getting parts for the Corolla in about three weeks!!! Well if it's here in time, I'm going on this cruise!!! Where is everybody meeting?

Well not that hard really... The fuel I use is Premium, but I'll try using Ultimate... Only drive it at night most of the time, but now it's just standing in the driveway, I ordered some parts from Japan coz I couldn't find anybody who has the parts in Darwin. I'll send some photo's soon, cleaning up the engin bay and making the whole motor very shiny...

Thanks for the info, this other guy told me about the "racing version" and so on... and about the prices... for me it's pretty expensive as I don't have a job and so on, but yea, I obviously spoke to the wrong people when I tried getting the parts. I went to AutoBarn, and they said something about $1000 but clearly he got it wrong... I appreciate the advise... I would like to catch a ride with someone, that would be awesome, how's that gonna work though, do I just go the HungryJacks or what? Also... I was thinking about getting the Corolla twin turbo'd... do you think that would be a good idea? Thanks again

I am extremely pissed off at the moment... I don't think I'll be able to make it to the cruise, my car won't be running for at least 3 weeks, I ordered a new coil, distributor, rotor, and ignition leads from Japan, but it won't be here for another three weeks, hopefully I can get the car running in time... apparently a 4age motor is like a "racing version" or something and parts for it are pretty rare, and VERY expensive... I paid about $500 for the above mentioned... and I'm only on my L's, which means I'm gonna have to get a job really soon... Hope I can meet some of you guys soon.. My name is Quinton by the way

Well what do what do I have to do to join the rollaclub? I bought Stephens Corolla, so I want to make the best of it... is there any joining fees and stuff? The car should have some more "balls" in about a week... not much though...

So this is gonna happen on the 3rd of October? Where is the meet?
