thanks mate. the wheels are full of brake dust from all the late braking :D it handles really well with some understeer in the dry but you realise its rwd in wet (made an idiot of myself at some roundabouts :P)...
yeah the corolla was perfect mechanically, it still had the trd lowering springs, stivo catback and stivo body kit! a real preface stivo got sold for $6750 (hail damaged) the same day too.
thanks i'm getting a e90 shark fin antenna for it to look more "bmw". the 1 series has great modding potential. something like 70% of the parts are from the e90 3 series so the m3 suspension parts are interchangable. way too expensive for me though :(
why aren't you driving the corolla? keep the mods coming :)
