Badgers E11

[Steven252]

I looked at this car on gumtree.

The body kit is a TTE one (front bumper, spoiler and lower grill)

The alloys are MIM TTE 16" alloys (came with the TTE kit) not oz as the sticker suggests

Its on TTE 25mm lowering springs if its lowered (really rare) Again came with the TTE kit

Back bumper is the same on any corolla 3dr.

The interiour is a custom job, not oem but is VERY nice ;) you seem to have a single g6r red seat belt in the middle of the back bench. Do you have the rest of the red belts as there realy rare and sought after?

Brakes are standard corolla items - same as mine discs front and rear, not TRD items as they came on the levin (front only) and these were superstrut suspension so are not a "bolt on job", plus they are bigger.

Hope this gives you an insight to the car :) its a lovely corolla that just needs a good machine polish to return the bright red paint

Thank you. How do you know they are TTE springs?

There is just the one red belt, i did wonder why one was different, it would be nice to get a full set.

I'm glad about the brakes, the pads will be cheaper :D They are very good as they are.

TTE springs are black in colour - all other lowering springs are red/yellow/green.

G6R seatbelts are VERY hard to come by, i managed to get a set the other day but expect to pay a premium as there so rare!! Theres a set currently on eBay if you wanted some.

[Steve Badger Smith]

They are black, i wondered why.

I've seen the set on eBay, alot of money! More than i would want to spend.

So i've been looking around for tuning bits and there doesn't seem to be many options. Anyone have a link for a good site to get bits or know which engines will fit?

And do it begins ;)

Not alot out there tuning wise especially for the engines. Most people swop them out for a 4age or 3sgte's

[Steve Badger Smith]

What models are they from? Are they a straight swap?

[Steve Badger Smith]

Just been looking them up, neither looks like an easy swap.

They never make it easy :)

[Steven252]

4age is a bolt straight in. Easiest engine swop youll ever do.

3sgte is another story

[Steve Badger Smith]

What other bits do i need for the 4age conversion?

I cant find an original tape player, mine has a CD changer so i'm happy to keep it. I just need a new front panel or the volume button.

[K20VFX]

Complete 4age 20v conversion on e-bay, £950, collection only.

Kev.

What seats are they...i need them!

[Steve Badger Smith]

They are really nice :) I think someone said they had probaby been retrimmed.

[Steve Badger Smith]

Anti roll bar links have just been delivered. I will get them on later :)

[Steve Badger Smith]

They are MiM wheels :)

[PaulinhoT]

Good one Steve, You will have to update us with some photos ;)

[Steve Badger Smith]

Hopefully getting it machine polished next week so i will then.

[Tibs]

Some really nice touches on this, a lot of cash been lavished on it over the years by the looks of it. Keep it clean and tidy.

[Steve Badger Smith]

All on hold for a week or 3 due to my fridge breaking. Mot runs out the end of the month, (i though i had longer than that) so i need to get that sorted before i can do anything else. Also tax is due on this one and my other car.

[Steve Badger Smith]

It is running really lumpy at low revs too, i'm trying to work out whats causing it.

[PaulinhoT]

Does it start O.K ?

[Steve Badger Smith]

Yea it starts easily. It wont idle properly and its running rich. It sometimes pulses 1000 rpm when its idling and when driving it at low revs its really jerky.

[Steve Badger Smith]

Slight hesitation when it revs too.

[Steven252]

Spark plugs/leads/coil/service would be my guess ;)

[Steve Badger Smith]

Went out in it earlier and it kept stalling but i still love driving it. :D

I'll get it sorted once its mot'd :)

[EXS]

sounds like the air flow meter could cause these problems , are you using an aftermarcket air filter? if so try cleaning the AFM with something like brake disk cleaner spray (i`ve tryed this method and it worked for me)
