I seen your ride today and i saw a little bit of the red one in the shed too, was driving round with the Mrs and she took a wrong turn, and ended up in T****h Ct (name covered for your protection :P ) and seen the blue rolla out the front looking very schmick, good job mate.

P.S. Love the street name.

[eviltwin]

Thanks Trent , should have stopped by for a chat i was playing in the shed!

[trentmeyer23]

Yeah i wasn't sure, and it was more of a "hey what the?" kind of thing. I didnt have my car anyways, had her (sh*t box) Laser, we went for a drive after she washed it.

[eviltwin]

ahh cc , fair enough mate..

[eviltwin]

****s and giggles got the best of me so i threw on my grille and i have eyelids also waiting to be painted... $$$ are scarce since i moved to M-town so hopefully soon ill be able to get them done , don;t mind the grille in black but ill have it painted in the body colour , mesh is horrid and ricey but it's on there so meh. I want a badge for the front , am thinking about doing something a bit off the wall and putting an older style corolla specific emblem on it. WE shall see. the cars looking damn good though paints really nice now i also washed and buffed a few spots on it today. Loving the car now and will be keeping it , thinking about a set of coilovers soon but a couple of small things are needed first!

One thing ive always liked was owning an AE82 Twincam or an AE92/3 SX you get that cult badging "twincam 16" so i threw this badboy on my grille , looks the goods and cost me nothing. Might paint it if i ever feel inclined though red letters would be rather suffice.

TRD Black Brake Pads fitted today along with a brake fluid flush and bleed.

It required half an hour and 3 beers - i love having a air comp / rattle gun.

[eviltwin]

So ive done a bit to the sportivo latley and thought id post up my progress! Removed all of the ricey **** and put the stock badges and grille back on and it looks a heap better now! added a Varex twin tip muffler , HKS high flow panel filter , Purcell Performance Short Shifter , Genuine Sportivo Foot Pedals and TRD gearknob aswell as some Din fillers to sort the ugly space between my JVC touch screen and the housing. Car sounds really nice and goes extremley well now absolutley screams through the gears and enjoys ever moment of it! Also replaced the front rotors with some DBA slotteds after the factory items warped like crazy!

[Kenshin X]

wooooooo in wid teh rice!

[eviltwin]

Just thought id update: Bought some Genuine Factory Corolla floor mats new in plastic and fitted those up. Also ( Massive thankyous to GattFXGT ) bought 4 Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres in a 205/55 for the stock wheels as the tyres previously were the original and very aged and tired!

Cars feeling really good now with some good rubber and always working towards bigger and better things.

Little bit of an update with some Photatoes of the "One Two Three"

Shes now wearing some 17X7" HRS Wheels wrapped in Nexen N5000 Rubber

Also fitted some slimline weathershields i purchased off Ebay.
