B.L.Z.BUB Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 1 Locate all the mold. In addition to obvious areas, you might find it on the bottom of the seat or behind the cloth that covers the seat. Sniff the upholstery to find where the strongest musty odor is coming from, and look for stains on the upholstery. 2 Open car doors to let the upholstery dry and air out. Mold feeds on moist surfaces, so drying the surface is essential to removing mold. Clean the upholstery in a well-ventilated area, leaving your car doors open. Wear gloves and a HEPA filter mask, available at hardware stores. 3 Make a solution of 1 part vinegar and 1 part hot water. Apply the solution to moldy areas with a clean rag to kill the mold. Dry the areas completely, and throw the rag away in a sealed plastic bag. 4 Check your auto parts store for a cleaner designed to remove mold from upholstery. Spray the cleaner on the moldy surface, then scrub the area with a brush. Repeat as many times as you need to, but don't allow your upholstery to become too wet, or mold could form again. 5 Use a wet/dry vacuum to remove any excess water or cleaning solution. Park your car in a sunny area with all the doors open to make sure it dries completely. Install a new air filter in your car.

Onikage Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Looks like it cleaned up pretty well after the mold attack, hope to see this car back on the road one day. And what's the story behind the Corolla GP? I have never seen or heard of one until today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOMsGPTurbo Posted September 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 (edited) Hi Onikage, OK, lets start with the JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) here is an abstract from "A guide to the Japanese Export Market": A Japanese vehicle must be re-registered after the first three years of purchase, then every two years after that. The cost of re-registration is approx. US$1,500. To most Japanese, this cost is a waste when the vehicle is 7 or 9 years old, so a new vehicle is preferred over registration as a result. Since it is difficult to re-sell a 7 or 9 year old vehicle in Japan. I haven't been able to find any concrete evidence, but it is rumoured that only 6000 GP Turbo's were produced from 1987 to 1990 only for Japan, the cars that weren't crushed were exported, that number is any ones guess. You basically have two types of GP Turbo's one is the Corsa and the other Corolla II - differences are front and rear bars. (anyone, feel free to add more differences) The GP Turbo ran a 1.5ltr, SOHC, 12valve, 4cyl Turbo known as a 3ETE, drive was to the front wheels and driveline saw both Auto and 5sp manual. Because I'm energy efficient I found the following info for you: http://blog.retro-classics.co.nz/?p=248 Edited September 12, 2011 by TOMsGPTurbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
