    i installed the rear whiteline swaw bar. Note: will need to drop the gas tank alittle to slide out the old one and install the new one , slide out through passinger side and repeat.

    if he tell you a price and you are willing to pay it he will make it for you. he is not going to make alot of them , like everyone say who would hook up a corolla.

    since they already made a set for the corolla before I'd imagine they have all the specs on file to make another set for anything 93-02.

    That's not what the dude said. He just plain said, we don't make axles for your year of Toyota Corolla

    That's my point. He didn't offer to make it at all, he just said, we don't make them, period, even referred me to someone else that he knows that does corolla axles.

    I am going with you jspex. I assume if he's obviously already done one, them he may just need a bit of persuading perhaps? Or maybe he's racist like ikon? haha.

    Seriously? Was there an inside joke or something that Im not aware of regarding your comment about Ikon? Or do you think that calling people racist is no big deal?


    I also dont understand your original comment above, before you thought better of it, deleted and replaced it with "seriously"? Can you please clarify that for me?

    What people dont understand is that where Pedro gets his stuff SPECAILLY made they arent gonna sit on the phone with you and chat on the phone and waste there time about next years MOD or I dont have the money yet . Where PEdro has done the research , gets the specs or measurements or ships a product to them so that they can make all his carbon fiber and he sends half the money and tells them when there done call him and he will send the rest . Then those type of people will do the work .

    Sorry FolkenStrategos the guy offer you any deals or to make them but you problaby came off like the millions of people who ask questions daily and then dream about it for years . I'm sure if you would have said I want to buy these Gator CV's where do I send the money to , He problably would have gave you a price and the info .


    I'm not trying to come off bad to people but when it comes to Corolla's it's expensive , not that many people do make them fast unless you live in Puerto Rico where it's cheaper and more people do it . But thats what you gonna see out there alot , but Pedro has the connections , you just got to have the money now . :)
