Corolla Carnage

So I got the control arm on a few days ago but found that something else on the car is bent. Either the frame or the tension rod bracket is bent. I learned after not being able to bolt the tension rod to the control arm. so the next thing to do would be to see what else is bent then move on from there.

First update in a loooong time...

Well I was going to try and keep this updated better than I have. now that I am able to actually do something to my car I might be able to do that. in the last few months I have been collecting parts to finish up the turbo stuff on my 16V. at this point I on'y need a Cometic head gasket and some ARP head studs both of which will probably be bought in January then the motor with be ready to boost.

Her is a more updated parts list of whats on the car and what is going on the car.

and their might be more I can't remember right now

I think the biggest update is that the car is currently parked right now and has been since september. Their are two reasons for this. One being that I was planning on Parking it for the winter so I could save money and its really not fun to drive when its cold. and the other reason being that I crashed it and bent the control arm on the drivers side.

Well thats all I have for right now but I will be trying to update this more often.

VIP Performance

I have an appointment for my coil over install tomorrow at 2pm at VIP Performance!

Cleaned!

This is where the Corolla sat sense mid November

So I spent about an hour today after I brought the car home cleaning the interior then went and did a little basic wash at the self wash place down the road. After that I got the tires filled cause they looked a little low after sitting for a few months. Here are some before and after pics. The before pics were actually taken after I got the top layer of mold off before I drove it home haha.

That last picture is of the front passenger seat and all those little black sport won't come out. DAMNIT!

Cleansing Journey

I am going to pick up the to be turquoise turtle tomorrow from the spot I stored it at for the winter. I am bringing it home to clean the inside so when I take it to VIP Performance it won't be all moldy. I'm sure they will appreciate that. I will try to get some pics of the interior prior to washing it so you can tell the difference between a car that doesn't seal good and sits and a car that doesn't seal good and is a driver haha.

Collection of Parts

So, I have posted this in a few spots already but I figured I might as well post it here as well sense this is going to be my main build log.

These aren't in any specific order just how I remember them and they are also parts that I have that AREN'T on the car yet but will be and are in my possession, I have more parts on the way but don't actually have them in my possession yet. I'll try and post a price if I can remember what it is.

Carbon Fiber hatch

I ordered a Seibon Carbon Fiber Hatch today for $631 free shipping. It should be here in a couple weeks maybe a little less. I'm going to have a glass guy swap the glass from my stock hatch to the carbon fiber hatch for now, and eventually I will get lexan glass for it. So as soon as I get the hatch the car is ready for paint along with flaring the fenders.

After paint and body work and what not the Corolla is going into VIP for a coilover install and then its the waiting game again I would imagine. I am going to talk to Panda Garage in the next couple days to figure out where my engine stands. no pun intended.
