My '93 Corolla From New Zealand

This car should have won the battles on here. Best looking ride!
Love the photoshoot.

Thanks but still unsure if I should do the stretch as I will be racing with them. Yes it would be good to get more clearance under the arch, but the car can only go that low before it scrapes and hooks on everything whilst driving.(not on the track).

Was hoping cBass or James could shed some light here.

Hey Sharpshooter... I need some cams from New Zealand... Can you help?

Thanks man . I probably wouldn't go for stretched tires on the track as you really want as much of the tire touching the track as possible. Stretched tires typically make the sidewalls stiffer which helps to reduce the rubber from flexing around corners, but with the right tire pressures and uprated swaybars you should'nt have a problem anyway. I'd much rather have more traction around corners than less flex as that can be made up for in other ways

Hey Irvin, yeah that might be possible. Do you have a place in mind where you want to get them from over here?

I'd love to give you more information on a place. But I'm unfamiliar. I'm looking for some Intake cams from a 2.5L 2mz-fe engine from a camry/windom. I can provide the Toyota part numbers. Maybe you can just call your local Toyota dealership and get a price quote? or if you're ever in the area of a junk yard. Keep an eye out for the engine?

Ohh ok cool. I can certainly give Toyota a call but we'd both have to be sitting down when I tell you the price . Please provide the part numbers and I'll see what I can find out. I'll keep my eyes peeled at local wreckers/junkyards too

Haha! Yeah I know they're expensive. Just want to know what the prices are in New Zealand

Part numbers are:
13053-20020
13501-20030

^^^^^^

My latest addition are these sweet looking velocity stack stickers I got sent over from Australia. I find they give the car a little bit more character and are a subtle way of indicating what's under the hood:

Don't worry about those cams bro. I finally found a set here in the states.

A few small updates from the past few days:

* I had the timing belt, water pump + rear hose, VVT pulley, tensioner, idler pulley and both drive belts replaced on Friday. The timing belt had been done in the past but when I got the engine there was nothing more than a faint outline of where the sticker used to be on the cam cover, so rather than lose sleep at night I decided to get it replaced and did the VVT pulley at the same time (no more rattly diesel noise at idle!). It was a pretty pricey exercise but for the peace of mind alone it was definitely worth it.

* On Friday I fitted some 'TWINCAM 20' stickers that arrived from Australia. After putting them on I immediately regretted not putting them up a little bit higher, so being as fussy as I am, I ordered some more and will have another crack at it once they arrive. All in all I definitely like the look though.

* Last but not least, today I installed a Pivot Speed Meter. This little device gets hooked up to the ECU's speed signal to remove the factory speed limiter and digitally displays your current speed, with the ability to measure the G-force under acceleration/deceleration and your 1/4 mile time.

Looking Good there.
The stickers actually look good there., but personal choice and a bit higher wont hurt.

I took advantage of the public holiday here and the overcast weather and went out to take some more photos:

Those first two pics are Mag status. WOW!!
