turbo_rolla Posted November 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Not much to update other than I'm heading down to a place at marion today to buy some new front suspension gear for the beastie!!! :( MIGHT also grab a LSD while I'm there, but will see - will update later with what i get |blink| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo_rolla Posted November 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Only ended up getting a strut brace today - couldnt push myself to get the trd springs he had sitting there, as they were only 240mm freeheight and the shocks i've got wouldnt keep them captive (might be alright when driving, but not 100% sure :(). No LSD's were out either, so might pop back and have a look next week - thinking the existing height will just do, but will continue to have a think about it as i don't wanna have to go through all the running spacers and short strokes if i don't need to, just to get another 10-20mm out of the front |blink| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbo_rolla Posted November 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Yeah, think it'll stay as it is - thought about coilovers, but wont bother. BUT, breaking news: CAR IS GOING TO BE SOLD, but this time its definitely happening :) went out and got a new car with the mrs today, so this ones gonna go. Sticking with the corolla family, as i thought it was time to "grow up" and get a car that doesnt rattle etc. I love the old girl, but its time for it to be passed on. If i can't get what i want for it i'll hold it, but will see what happens! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmac80 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Hey mate! after all this work your gonna sell it? have two cars instead of one? hey did you get it passed with a turbo or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam-__- Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Not surprised you're wanting to sell at all mate. I know how you must feel. You've achieved your goal, time to move on.. Good luck with the sale. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo_rolla Posted November 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Nah, never had a turbo on it - got it through n/a though, so all sweet there. We have two cars - unfortunately the other one is a Getz (alright for what it is), but the new car will be mine until we pop out little ones: 2008 Corolla Conquest - blah blah blah Just time for a nice new car :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trav_555 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 sorry to hear your selling, but i understand why you would be, good luck with sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo_rolla Posted November 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Its all official - for sale thread done :) too much? not enough? just right? Looking forward to picking up the new car on thursday though - was actually QUITE surprised how well it handles and rides. Very nice for what it is :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo_rolla Posted November 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Certificate of exemption received today - now all official and ready to be handed over to the new owner, whoever that is :) On a completely different note, got the new car yesterday - quite nice!!! Smooth and quiet ride, and not much slower than the old 4age to be honest (is an auto though). Nice firm ride also!!! Just looking into some modifications for it now (needs to be lowered about 1.5-2 inches, and maybe a different grille or something on the front!). Very happy thus far :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo_rolla Posted January 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Its official - my beloved little rolla has gone to a nice new home! :) Did the big swap about 30 minutes ago (lots of cash in exchange for my car :yes:), so the final chapter of this book has now been written. Took it for a final drive before just to hear the sound of the bigport one last time, and loved it. Its gone to a good home though, and I'm sure it'll be well looked after by Dave! One last photo of it as it left before (the other beige ke is his brothers, my "old" car is the one in front :jamie: ) ANyway gang, with my beast now gone, it'll probably be the last of me around these great forums! Thanks to all who helped in building the car up to what it was, and to everyone else who contributed to the abundance of information there is on here which helped me build the car into what it was! :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
