  3. it looks like all toyota hoses it may be in an aea where alot of things could rub on it think of it as a sacrificial shieth so as not to damage the actual hose
  4. from my experience from working at ford with both general customers n police persuite vehicles u could tell the diffenece in perforamce between the cop cars n the general use car and the only difference between the 2 is the way there driven from birth thrash it from birth it will fly but for wear on the engine best thing to prevent wear is more regular services i know alot of people with commodores now every one knows they have rear main leak issues but the people i know service them every 5000km and they've never had ne problems with them so yeah that my little bit of input
  5. if it already has a an a an A series motor any other A series motor will drop straight in n the 4agze will give u good performance out of the box but u still have trans and diff to worry about when u go for more power
  6. im not normally a fan of skirts but that actually looks nice
  7. you guys know torque ok yes it is in derect relationship to engine capacity but these day with variable valve timing induction lengths and even compresion all play there parts also which is why gm acheive max torque at lower rpm compresion actually plays a major part this is why forced induced engine make so much for the actual engine size
  8. this is mine i know it kinda looks stock but it turbo 4age with works rods cp pistons garrett turbo south coast rotory custom exhaust manifold (thanks kev n jr) SCR tuned with microtec lt10s individaul coils but stock cams still oh n i got a machanical LSD in a front driver crazy

  11. i hate to say it but i believe for toyota to release a trd corolla the figures have to be atleast a 40kw gain on the standard car n still meet emissions emissions is the reason for the many delays on the trd hilux (so i heard)
  12. i must say do u know how rare it is for a corolla to have a valve train problem or any toyota ohc motor for that fact with the exception of the twin cam 4.2 desiel as that has a rocker arm set up i believe could be wrong have been before
