Howdy fellas (and gals), I scored a super deal on a metallic black, 2008, 6 speed, Corolla Ascent to use as a daily driver, instead of my petrol 80s Landcruiser since a career change. In typical toyota style, they've made a good looking and well styled car for the price, not to mention it goes pretty hard - 7000RPM+ and gives excellent economy (600+ km per tank). It's still a stocker at the moment but I came to the realisation a few days ago that's not going to be the case for long - especially since I found this site! It will never be an extreme make over, just the usual like exhaust, tint, wheels and unichip to give it a bit of individualism and more go. While my Landcruiser will still suck most of my funds (currently fitting a 3540 GT and W/A IC), you guys have definately shown me the Corolla has some good potential. There doesn't seem to be much info on the 2ZR-FE here (excuse my ignorance) but I will add my own and post pics shortly. It's also great to see so many Corolla fans on the Northern Beaches Sydney too - I look forward to seeing you around. Keep it on its wheels, Nath
