Vancouver CorollaRev members...

Too bad that one is 98 with ugly front end and no VVTi.

I actually like the 98-00 front better than the 01-02. And the non-vvti doesn't affect power or emissions by much. Plus non-vvti can utilize aftermarket cams, which the vvti 1ZZFEs can't do. hehe

btw, be careful with 00-02 Corollas. Toyota went cheap after they switched to vvti 1ZZFEs and used undersized pistons with oversized rings. They have a tendency to stick and burn, causing you to burn oil. Check for oil consumption before you buy.

Yeah totally. Don't think too long, I think it might be gone already. Thats a steal for what its worth.

Whats cams are available at the moment for the 1ZZ non-vvti? 272 / 284?

I'm not really sure. I know you can get a nice set from Monkey Wrench Racing.

thats y i am thinking going back to my old car, 7thgen 93-95 but instead this time its a manual... cuz 7thgen hav tons of goodies to mod..

if you boys are interested in buying mags, kaltire on marine drive and ontario will be having a garage sale on friday and saturday this week.
they will be clearing a lot of wheels:rally:

no reasonable offer refused.
clearance on tires n wheels

Mmm saw a white 03-06 outside my workplace yesterday around lunch. It was white with CF hood and I believe the license no. was 088 DVR looked mean. LOL... is the owner here?

i think i might know him hahahah..

Any recommendations for a place to paint my grille? I'm waiting for my 05+ Altis S Grille to come in the mail. I'd prefer to paint it white rather than leaving it black.

This is the one I ordered:

If you have the cash, then yeah have it painted professionally. Otherwise I think you could paint yours on your own. I believe body shops would charge around the region of $100 for it, if you did it yourself it might be around $45 (paint, primer etc..). I have some thick build clearcoat if you need it to finish it off.

Important thing is to find a fairly wind free day with strong sunlight. I might be painting up my wing mirrors in the next couple of weeks, let me know if you wanna do it together.

eugene - wana paint my house??

wussup guys.. Eugene, sorry I missed your call today..
try again tomorrow!

i say keep the camry. it's a v6 right? it's got more power than a heavily modded corolla...lol

Do you guys know of anywhere in the lower mainland that I could get clear bumper lights and clear corners for a 7th Gen. Corolla?

Mm.. ebay is your best bet. Clears were never from Toyota, only the depo lenses were available. Around $17usd + shipping i believe.

i dun want to keep the camry.. i dunno y i dun like driving it... even though its a v6 and power everything i still miss my corolla...

if i were u kenny, if you can afford the gas for the v6 and maintenance - keep the camry. bigger, safer, more powerful and faster car than any stock corolla out there.
you can also use it to blow away any stock civic out there - just dont pick on the new Si's.

ok, i need suggestions for places to go for staff/family picnic.
anyone know good places to go?
i'm trying to stay away from downtown area - stanley park, kits, west end.
i want some place not too far, good view and with lots of parking. i came up with peace arch park, maybe garry point park in rmd. and maybe deer lake

Hahah.. hey Daniel how you doing?! Been a while. Since Ming is back, when will you be back here?! Anyways we'll be meeting Ming sometime next week I believe. Or i know I am for sure. Date time not set as yet.

Jeff: I think another alternative is at Anmore park in Port Moody. Got a nice spot for the kids to play. Although parking is a problem. What about by River road and no.1? That area's real nice during high tide.

port moody may be too far for people.
i think i may check out peace arch park. not too hard to get to for people living in downtown.

Amble Side Park just over the Lions Gate Bridge.. got everything near by...
