It was an 88 model (I think) Corolla Hatch in a light blue color with a strange front bar on it. He had enough coolers on the front to keep eskimos happy and a supercharged/turbocharged 4AGE motor in it. I think it was an Online Performance job....

Can anybody recall it? It was in Hot4S a while back? Is he on this forum or on Toymods?

yes thats the RUNEXT car... it must have been newer than 88 as it was the ae92 shape which started in 89...

 

it was for sale on carsales a while ago for like 13 grand...

 

it had a front mount intercooler and oil cooler ...

 

i think the car won autosalon back in the days...

 

the car was once a show only car then the dude pulled out of shows, put the normal interior back in and used it as a daily driver...

 

i saw it on supercruise 2 years ago and it was still looking nice...

 

i hear he had some decent power out of the supercharger/T3 turbo setup he had running...

 

i don't know what has happened to it now...

Nope.. Dave was right... RUNEXT. I remember the plates now...

 

I just wanted to know what he had running in the rolla and how he actually got it all to work and stuff. The magazine article I used to have is long gone now and I'm spewing, because I wanted to read up about it.

 

Unless anybody has any articles on it...?

Nothing was every really written up about it to my knowledge...

 

Certainly was a one off car back in it's day...

DOH!!

I knew I shouldn't have turfed that article!! :((

i think my mate has the hot 4's or fast fours that it was in...

 

i can't remember which mag it was...

 

from memory he used a modified hks twincharger system...

 

ill get back to you with details if my mate finds the mag... he'll be searchin for a while!

IF you find that article.. I am forever in your debt :P

 

Seriously, that would be handy.

bump. he is still looking but he's sure he has it.

Hahaha.... cool cool. Thanks for the bump, buddy :) I'll wait a little longer.. if I REEEEAAAALLLY have to :D
