cheers trent :P

nah i didnt buy that one.

 

i gotta talk my parents into letting me keep the corolla in there backyard

 

cheers trent. :P

jsut a note, would you like to learn about carby or efi, basisicly if your look at becoming a machanic you'll most proberly deal more with efi, due to it being the in think, though carbys rock so yeah, mmmmm sidedraft webbers, one throat per cylender.... lalala mmmmmm

carby is nice to learn on because its a simple system.... and you can do things to it. EFIs more daunting to get into...and more expensive...

yeah carby the best to learn on, but unforenly due to everyhting being efi these days, you may have to learn alot of efi to be a machanic

 

with efi its more daunting but i donno bout more exspensive, well actually yes it is but, for example hardware + software to tune ecu 180bucks and theres all your tunnig to a degre down... though unleash the carby and yeah

I don't think hes planning to be a mechanic as such, just to learn some more about cars...

 

I meant cost as in your going to have to buy a more recent car which is gonna cost more (like a twinky AE82 or 92)

I'm looking at becoming a mechanic but for now i want a carby engine to work on but my parents are up tight about me leaving it in there yard as they say there is no room grrrr i hate it so much.

 

cheers guys

trent :P

thats what mine said man...

 

i got 1...

 

and then 2...

 

then sold 1 and kept 2...

 

and purchased 3 ....

 

3 yet to be picked up :P...

 

...4 is coming :P

lol - if they don't role = i don't want em :P

 

ill be keeping my eye out for nice bargens :P

bah...sif roll...bricks rule!!

lol

 

some times i think the elders don't like my old car collection, let alone a semi permanent piece of Toyota history sitting on bricks on dads back lawn :P

should make a corolla tribute...put one up on top of a tall poll....

some 1 needs to make a corolla shed - where there are endless rows and isles of Ke ** / Ae ** and Te ** parts / cars / etc stacked as high as the eye can see

 

mmm :P
