The modding is about to begin...1995 'rolla 1.8lt

[Rocketeer1]

hey hey

Picking up the corolla in the next few days, possibly monday of next week, although I am keen to get it sorted before the weekend if possible.

Stock AE102X corolla, 1.8 litre, 5 speed.

Already happening- just got to confirm when....

-Engine oil to be changed to PM Lubricants 15w40, gearbox to PM Lubricants 50w90 EP. Power steering to PM Lubes also.

-QFM HP-X pads front and rear (penrite, castrol or whatever fluid behind it)

-Hayman Reece towbar-

-Air con re-gas, replace rec. drier.

-Kenwood deck install

-Headlight upgrade- phillips +80's or bi-xenon 35w HID's (just waiting for the usual HID supplier to get back to me- usually fit these to bikes) inc. LED parkers.

Yeah, just under a grands worth of work there....

Hey I'm bored at work, may as well think bout what I'm going to get up to when she arrives!

Oh and I'm gonna need a name for her too......

Really really tempted to throw another $775 at it to get a full exhaust, inc. headers while its getting the towbar done....I dunno, maybe i should just hold off- its not like it "needs" to be done now.....

Interior already detailed, so going to hit the aged white duco with a selection of mcguires cutters and wax, also engine bay and undercarriage degrease. Hmmm should pull off the front rotors while I am at it and repack the bearings (unless they are pressed hubs).

That should do for the first week that I have it.....
