jayrome's Corolla Seca

[jayrome]

Hey guys,

Names Jerome, (nickname Jay)

this is my little beast when I bought it in November 2006 ..

1989 Corolla seca 4AGZE (AFM)

All stock

purchased for $5600 .. previous owner had lost his license and would have liked to have done the car up a bit but didnt have the time so thats where I came in :P

When I first got the car I had it serviced and tuned and got the exhaust fixed up as the CAT had been knocked out and 1 of the mufflers was screwed.

2.5" inch wildcat extractors 4-2-1

down to 2.5" inch hi flow cat and then to 2 1/4 from half way to the back

I also swapped the stock air filter with a K&N panel filter and it seemd to improve performance a bit but nothing too gr8. Better airflow is always good.

Custom CAI

Purchased slotted discs for the front as the original discs were too thin :P upraded the brake pads (not sure what brand but sports pads i was told by the mechanic)

engine bay

205/45R16 Falken tyres

Woltech racing mags (multi spoke)

Interior:

got myself some TRD seat covers :)

3 1/8" inch Pivot stepping gauge with shift lamp

Custom MDF door trim (which i will be carpetting soon) for the 4" inch Pioneer 220W (35W RMS) speakers

Custom Parcel shelf with clarion 6x9's not sure what rating as they came with the car.

JVC MP3 head deck can't remember model number

12" inch carbon fibre precision response subwoofer dual voice coil 300W RMS

Precision Response Car Amp 2x150WRMS bridged into 1 channel at 4ohm 500W RMS, running the subwoofer

Nevo 175mm Overdrive pulley

Had the car on the dyno

pretty happy with that, Running 11psi :)

Future mods:

SC14 sitting in my garage, is being installed next week :D

Upgrade T/B with the one from the 4age

custom TMIC or FMIC if I have to..

Bosch 0404 fuel pump coming next week

Stinger EMS

Tint

Alarm System

Thats about it.. let me know what you guys think :)

Also I purchased a body kit for the car and had it resprayed :P

hehe thanks, yeah i love the fact that it turns heads and ppl are like.. "whats that?" and im like, just a seca .. lol i love having a car that you dnt see everyday .. *cough commodores cough* :P you only rarely see a seca with a kit and done up :P

im so coming around when i get the chance to and u can show me "around" :P

yeah wait until after this week coz i'll have the SC14 on :D atm its too slow, ran a 15.7 quarter mile, was getting better times each run as the night got colder, but then the thermostat decided to stop opening and the car kept boiling :( had to tow it to my mechanic :( all good now tho! I'm convinced i can get 15 flat, even high 14s with the bigger pulley on now :)

they're very lightweight but I will find out how much they weigh, kenneth is right :P came with the car, but I'll be keeping them for a while, would like 17's but they won't fit :( simply bcoz the rear bumper is very close to the tyre as is.. and would probably hit the front fenders.

bit of an update:

ran a 15 sec flat 1/4 mile .. can do a lot better but only got 2 runs coz it started raining

got myself a nice pivot boost gauge, but max boost is 11psi bcoz 1 of the belts are loose and needs tightening,

bought a HKS top mount of ebay, going on shortly after i recieve it :D

sc14 is almost ready to fit just waiting for a mate to make the top bracket :D

[jayrome]

update:

removed the 2 and 1/4" inch exhaust pipe and swapped it with 2.5"inch half way back to a powerflow muffler, so all 2.5"inch system now.

sc14 has been installed along with a 600x300x75 fmic with 2"inch piping.

door trims have been carpetted.

new dyno run

can't wait until whoop ***** season starts again... new 1/4 mile time coming up

[jayrome]

Here are the under shots of the car to see the IC piping to sc14

yeah i bought it off him as he lost his license and wanted a 4wd instead. he lives in forestfield. i'm in the gosnells area apparently he bought it off a cop. . nah haven't seen it around, would love to see it tho :P

do you know if he had a permit for the engine conversion? bcoz at the pits they told me i need one.

Ah ok, looks like that corolla got around a lil bit, i am actualy friends with the guy that sold it to the cop, so ur the third owner after my friend had it. I dont think he had a permit.

I would love to see yours, if you are planing to go to motorplex soon, let me know i ll come down to check it out, and i think you should be able to get into 14's with stuff you done.

I did 15.1, stock except air filter, so good luck and should do 14's

I sold mine last year, think it went to scabrough area, heres a pic of it just before it sold.

looks nice man, rims stand out and clean all round :)

i've jst had the modification paperwork filled out so waiting for a reply.

i did a 15 flat with the nevo 175mm pulley then it started raining so only got 2 runs.

i dunno whether it was the cop that did it or whether your friend recon'd the engine but the crank seals didnt need replacing, the head gasket is leaking ... the oil sump was taken off at one stage and somebody was dodgy enough to use sika flex to seal it plus the gearbox was opened up and not sealed properly.

will hopefully have it all done in a week or 2. Will let u kno nxt time i go down, u can't miss me :P

Nice work on the GZE :)

Is your numberplate a Manchester United reference?
