    been a while

    whats up , its been quite some time since i posted on here. it says ive missed 100k+ post , so that gives you an idea. some might remember me , some might not . ive had quite a few changes to the corolla (ae101 7th gen)though in the past year. with many more to come this year , including 4 point bar , coilovers , CF hood , FMIC , 15x8's 15mm offset , and more. i also went looking for corollacustoms.cc , and it took me here also. seems like 3 of the best and oldest corolla forums ended up on here. (vvti.net,corolla-racing.com,corollacustoms.cc)

    anyway , thought i would post some update pics of the ride.

    If it's functional, why get rid of it? Now if he switched to a front mount intercooler, then getting rid of the scoop would be a good idea. ;)

    i went thru jarco , excellent company , with an even better reputation . i got everything! half cut w/ no sheet metal for $2600. axles , tranny , ecu , igniter , harness , all ancilleries , gauge cluster , radiator , motor mounts , fuel pump , everything!

    i had to get a custom power steering psi line and custom fuel line. that ran me about $100

    tweak did the harness conversions. i had a few problems w/ the starter wiring , but taken care of now.

    altogether about $3000.

    and yes i did it my self , with the help of my wife:)

    out with the old:
