oze_idiot Posted January 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 After a long wait, mainly due to finances, i now have the new plugs and leads ive been dying to get. 4x NGK IridiumIX spark plugs 1 set Top Gun performance ignition leads Not sure how much of a power increase its made, as my clutch is on its way out (will start a thread in General/AExx Corolla Discussion). but the engine sounds like its got a bit more go in it.

greenmac80 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 this is nice!! not a real fan of any newer corollas but the more i see these done up ones the more they are growing on me!! probs a noob question but what is a 'Hi-Clone'?

oze_idiot Posted January 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 a hi-clone is a non-moving metal propeller thing u put in your air intake hose. it works by causing the air to spiral thru the intake and thus move quicker (in the same way if you tip a bottle of water upside down it will empty slow, but if you spin it round it creates a tornado effect and empties quicker) i don't know about how much over a power gain its given me, but teamed up with the k&n hi-flow air filter its definitley running better.

oze_idiot Posted May 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 After a very long wait a finally got the new clutch i'd been desperatly needing, i ended up getting the Exedy heavy duty, thanks K-rudd. Next thing is rear tyres, drifting round-a-bouts in the wet, in a FWD is not good, especially when u got no control over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oze_idiot Posted July 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 New pix My new "freebie" rims. thanks Speedy! The only pic i took of my eyelids before i took them off. the eyelids themselves look great, but coz the panels don't line up 100% atm, they look a little dicky. (Couple of us used my bonnet for a seat at the drifts one night, now its a little bit out of alignment) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oze_idiot Posted July 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Had an "incident" at work the other day. Short version is... got bogged, tried to get out, FAILED! got pulled out by a tractor.

TheGhost Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 holy sh*t! that'll need a very good clean. took the other grill out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oze_idiot Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 the cutout grill i had, wasnt perfect so i took it out, the one in there now is just a standard one, but with a body coloured outer edge and matt black inside. i spent all day sanding, priming and painting the cutout grill, just to come outside to find that my nephew "washed it" for me. the water got into the paint and made a mess of everything, i had a minor moment and cracked the shits, and threw it against the wall. so its no more. and yes,the car took alot of washing when i got home. i was bogged at 6:30am and didnt get to wash it until about 3:30pm so the mud was baked on a bit by the time i got to it it took a rinse off, wash, and another wash. and she still wasnt clean.
