My '93 Corolla From New Zealand

slam it to the ground

Nice! Those look like my Megan setup.

Ground it to the ground. lolol

Ground it Underground!

Uh, ground it so far you end up in china, or in your case; my backyard!

Coilovers removed, original pre-facelift tail lights reinstalled. Changed my mind

Here's a photo I took yesterday:

I had nothing but trouble with the coilovers so I'm ripping them out and reverting back to my old set-up this week. Front right pillowball mount was noisy, the rears rattled and the spring rate was way too soft so it was too bouncy for my liking (no dampening adjustment on that model). Will no doubt go back to coilovers in the future, but if I do they'll be brand new and have at least 5-way dampening adjust-ability, and they'll be the fully threaded type as opposed to the partially threaded type.

As for the tail lights, I prefer the pre-facelift orange/red type because it makes the whole rear-end 'flow' better. The facelift red/clear tail lights make the car look more modern, but I wasn't digging them enough to keep them. Although the main reason for selling is because I need the money. Gotta get a replacement front windscreen due to a damn rock cracking it while driving

OEM windshield time

Haven't been able to access these forums for months! Not sure if it was just me or if everyone was having the same problem, but it's good to be back. I've done a few things since my last update

Changes:

* Did a 4A-GE 20v Blacktop conversion (finally!)
* Installed AE111 Carib OEM sideskirts
* Installed OEM rare factory option 'conlight'.
* Installed OEM rare factory option A-pillar map light.
* Installed 240kph speedometer.

.com is down but im assuming you found us with .org lol

and nice black top man! Those side skirt are definitely better than your old ones....they match with the rear and front

damn more oem items! i like the map light one

good picture man.

Ohh, that explains it. I ended up waiting for a notification that a thread was replied to and it actually worked when I clicked the link, lol.

Thanks man. I got the swap done a few days before Christmas. Got a few things planned for the new engine already

Here's a video of the 'conlight' in action and some more shots of the map light:

that is some awesome stuff u got there! all in good shape too! clean car as always

yeah gold

Those side skirts flow so much better with the rest of the car now.

Thanks guys

These arrived in the mail today - My 110mm trumpets (ram tubes/velocity stacks). Made right here in New Zealand:

Lol, the Blacktop already has ITB's from factory

Haha no worries. The quad throttle bodies have trumpets from factory inside the black plenum chamber but they're made of rubber and curve around towards the intake hose. They work well for a factory set-up, but have to be made quite small and weirdly shaped to be able to find inside the plenum, so these aftermarket ones will allow me to do away with the plenum altogether and enjoy the symphony of the trumpets at full throttle

It revs to 8,250rpm before valve bouncing. I love seeing the needle go slightly past the 8 on my factory cluster

I took this shot on my phone just over a week ago. Goes past the 8 but valve bounced back to the 8 as I was trying to awkwardly take the photo

Oh yeah that's right, I think you actually 'Liked' the photo . Haha yep, you can see each ITB in the pic of my engine that I posted earlier. Quads FTW!
