Corolla Wrc

[Insanity-74]

A few weeks ago I became the owner of a Car with an interesting & unique history (potentially).

So I`ll start at the beginning. Purchased the car on a whim really, have been looking for a run about for a while, but wanted it to be "rally" ish. The Corollas have always been a favourite and when I saw the Corolla GS in Pistonheads I knew it was the one.

The Tipo Faff can now put its feet up and relax a little....although it tends to be grumpy when I dont use it every day...it`ll have a right strop on now :(

Nice post! The car looks great, like those flaps! hehe

Well wear!

Do you live on coronation street? haha

[Insanity-74]

No :) everyone says that :) its not good living on a street that has coble stones

Nice job with the stripes.

Tell me about it...I didnt realise it was possible to actually make your thumb nails hurt after scratching off small 1mm sections of sticky stuff :D

lovely rolla well may she wear.... is it 1.3 or 1.6??

[Insanity-74]

Its a 1.6, although I do wonder somtimes....its not very fast at all, but it handles like a dream.

[Insanity-74]

After about 3 days and 12 hours of cutting and polishing

so nice rolla i realy like wel done

[bigshark]

think that is one of the nicest example ive seen in ages!! love the colour scheme!

seriously miss my old (reliable) rolla!

mate you are stepping down from a gt4, of course its not going to be very fast!! maybe a full serivce with an engine flushed, changing the sparks will bring it back to life a bit?

[Insanity-74]

mate you are stepping down from a gt4, of course its not going to be very fast!!

The GT4 is the weekend toy now :) well.......... it will be after the winter....its resting for now.

[Insanity-74]

These cars are very very easy to work on :).....checked and cleaned the spark plugs in about 4mins, bled the clutch in about 5 mins.....everything is right there and plenty of space.....I havnt taken any skin off my knuckles just yet....aaaaah happy days....not like working on a GT4.

Got the only AutoGlym product I`ll use (I hate Autoglym stuff) and thats the engine bay degreaser...it came up like a new engine bay...this car is in amazing condition.

Next task will be to bleed the brakes ...might try new discs and pads first depending on the cost. :D :banana:

looking good nial. that engine bay looks sweet (would look better with a 3S in though ;) )

I am thinking about putting a 3S in...but not for a long while yet...but I know where to come when I do ;)

[Tibs]

Excellent buy there fella, I remember we had one as a loan car back when I worked for Toyota.

Keep us updated with plenty of pics!

[KPARRIS-JONES]

wow! Your Celica looks beastly!!!

Corolla looking clean and fresh as ever mate.

[Insanity-74]

Well a bit more modification...converting the rear drums to discs. First part was refurbishing the crappy scrap yard G6R rear callipers to transform them into something suitable to grace my Corolla :)

A nice before and after picture (Very Detailed "How To" coming soon)
