noticed that both cv boots have split, so need to change them soon...

[miib14]

right car is back on the road after changing quite a number of things

new cambelt
new waterpump
2 cam seals
1 crank seal
new dizzy cap
new rotor arm
new coolant temp sensor
antifreeze

did compression test on it again and it was 10.5 bar across all 4.. need to do a good few services and see if i can get the compression to come back up abit

few more pics i took after i got it back, sooo hard keeping white wheels clean..







really need to sort out and clean up engine bay wiring toooo, also maybe getting a custom strut bar made toooo







sorted out the brake line so that its not rubbing on cambelt cover

[miib14]

guess what i found afew days ago...
its the birth look of my car ...






they are 2 different cars (not photoshopped)

[miib14]

really neeed to clean my car now, 2 quick pics i took..
hate the fact i have white wheels and no time because of work...

[miib14]

I installed the BC coilovers today. I've set the damper knobs to 0 clicks from fully soft on the fronts and 5 clicks from fully soft on the rear.

I'm VERY impressed with the ride quality of the BC's.

The ride comfort was virtually the same as stock spring/strut combo

Going around corners you could definitely notice the difference in the handling performance as it stuck to the road as if it were on rails. So much more responsive.. Im loving them so far

They dont actually make the car look lower than before.









dont know why the damper knob is upside down but its set to soft



Attempted the st202 carrier and 275mm discs, unfortunately didnt fit
the disc sits too far back and carrier just catches the disc at the back




so fitted the twinpots to my stock 255mm discs for now

[miib14]

Cleaned the car and took some pics









Need to go lower but not sure if i should because of speedbumps & potholes

Seriously cool car mate... been over on the corolla forums tonight started having a good browse. Really like what can be done with them.

[miib14]

thanks mate,

what corolla forum have you been on?

[Donato]

Loving it

Is that the Fujitsubo exhaust manifold? I was looking at one on eBay a few months back. Missed the end of the auction and never got it. Not seen another one since!
