April 3, 201016 yr comment_426829 Never been into naming my cars but, this is Kalvin the Corolla. So named because I'm sure it was designed by the same bloke who designed the Kalvinator refrigerator, I'll bet the Toyota color code is "Appliance White". I've owned Kalvin for 3 years and he's just clocked over 120thousand kilometers. He was a score 3 years ago only having 82thousand on the clock (in 20 years). Apart from replacing the alternator, A/C and now the rack ends, he drives like he could go another 23 years. I bought Kalvin as transport while my Clubsport was being built, I liked the fuel economy so much, I kept him. Dads 96 Hilux. He's owned it since new and currently has about 176thousand on the clock. This thing hasn't even sneezed since the day he brought it home. Nothing more than routine maintenance. It's made countless trips between Darwin and Brisbane and one trip around the country. Each time loaded with my old mans shit and towing a 6x4 trailer (he has this paranoia it will breakdown so he carries every imaginable part and tool to repair it, of course it never has). A Hilux with 4sp auto and carpets. To my dads annoyance I continue to call it the "Corolla ute". This is the reason I drive a Corolla. My 97 VS HSV Clubsport (#2084). I've owned now for 7 years. A daily driver for 4 years before being sent to TBS Performance (The Brock Shop) along with a blank cheque. COME Racing 355, balanced blueprinted, ported & polished heads, roller rockers, COME Racing twin throttle manifold, all the best and most expensive stuff to fill it with. As well as a TBS custom made stainless 2.5inch twin system exhaust. Oh god it's sounds pure porn !. To go with the new motor, a stage 2 TH700 auto and reco diff with standard 3.08 gears. PBR twin piston brake upgrade front and rear. New steering & suspension. Basically it was a bumper to bumper rebuild of the oily bits. Power ?. On a run in tune it made 300HP at the rears. It's been tuned since but I don't have a figure. On the trip from Brisbane to Darwin I averaged 10.2 liters per 100kays (with an average speed of 112km/h). There were periods in QLD while doing the 110km/h limit I was getting 850 to 880 kays from a tank (72L).Top speed. Speedo goes to 250km/h and it sailed straight past that quite easy. At 230km/h the engine ticks over at 4500rpm. Of course I did this 12 months ago err ooops I mean before the NT introduced speed limits 4 years ago. :D At Willowbank in Brisbane it's done a 13.7 with the 3.08 diff gears. Next on the books is a conversion to 5speed manual (the auto is a fuse waiting to blow) and 3.6 diff gears. Then a run at Hidden Valley, stay tuned. Edited April 3, 201016 yr by clubby2084 Report
