The car is currently running in a rebuilt engine. Before the last one died it had 209hp atw and ran a 13.7 at 107mph on street tyres. A new t3/t4 turbo, external gate and 600cc injectors are ready to be bolted on and retuned as soon as the new engine is ready for the dramatic increase in power. UPDATE: New best time of 12.20 @ 114mph on street tyres. I hope you enjoy!!! Cheers Shanon Edited August 11, 200719 yr by ke30det Report

January 7, 200719 yr Author comment_158291 thanks for the feedback guys. Yes it does drive and stop very well. Next plans are new paint and maybe some new wheels. Report
January 15, 200719 yr Author comment_159470 Took it out to Willowbank on Saturday night it ran a 13.4 at 104mph. Not fast enough yet!!! Its time for some more power to get it into 12's. Report
January 15, 200719 yr comment_159472 theres a post in automotive discussion with a list of 1/4 mile times for corollas, cross breeds etc. tell the guy who started the thread your times and he'll put you on the list. low 13's is nothing to sneeze at!!!! :) was that just with your usual road going tyres?? how was the traction situation?? Maybe try and get hold of some slicks and if you havn't used them already, since your rear end setup seems like it'll handle the power!! Report
January 15, 200719 yr Author comment_159480 Yes that time was on std street tyres 195x55x 15inch. I do have some MT Slicks to put on it but need to make some tramp rods first. The car did launch pretty good with minimal wheel spin at this stage. However, when the new turbo goes on traction may be a problem. Report
January 15, 200719 yr comment_159545 I like this car alot. It's nice and neat, without going over board. Big thumbs up from me :) Report
January 23, 200719 yr Author comment_160796 Thanks mate!!! I like 17's on your rolla. Did you have to modify anything to get them on?? Report
January 23, 200719 yr comment_160838 Rolled the front guards a bit, and used spacers. The tyres are 215/40's and they don't scrub at all :) I was selling them but no one seems interested, so I guess I will just keep them Report
January 24, 200719 yr comment_161047 i like it alot nearly a twin of my one, i saw it for sale not that long ago and was so tempted to buy another. I'm taking mine to drags this weekend if its not raining hoping to run closer to the 13.5 mark with std turbo and computer. yours should see some easy 12's with the mods you have, maybe you should make another trip this weekend to better the time.
