Hey howz it going, my names mark i live in AUS,SYD.
I Bought my very first car at the age of 16, Just a stock 1987 CSX corolla, i bought it from a reposesion place, it only had 194000 on it, full set of rubber, and a blown head gasket.
So i bought a new 4A engine for it, not relising i could have bought the Twin cam for it. Swapped the engines over, and left it for a while.In this time i painted the rocker cover red...it looks orange.
I managed to scab a old corolla of a mate, which happend to be the same as mine tho in sedan
So i pinched his extractors and 2 1/4 inche exhaust, his Manifold which was ported. I threw them onto my corolla, after many days of work, with the best tools, and no room, i got it going again, cause i had problems with the manifold, (there a bastard to get to).
After i did those mods it seemed to breath alot better, felt like i lost a bit of acceleration, but got a better top end. ( i manage to find alot of LONG empty roads)
so after that i set out to increase my air intake. so i kept it old school and through on a Ram Flo Filter
which i purchased of Ebay. (had to find a filter to fit it tho, only once place out of a 1000 had it in stock and was cheap)
after putting that on, it made a sweeeeet sucking sound, and the car accelerated alot better, and increase in top end once again, so after talking to a few car gods + one amazing Toyota Bloke Who has kindly given me alot of help. i decided to get rid of all the Excess back pressure which would be building up in the echaust/Muffler. so being young i want something with sound, so i went with a HKS (2 1/4 In 3" out) cannon mufler,
After gettin that fitted 3 days after christmas, being very thankful to the guy for coming in to do it. These are really the only mods i have. as for Cool Accessories i have added to my car, i got plenty, for the stereo system, im running a 2 way 5" split system connected to a 4 way phillips 100 Watt amp, which is more than i need, as i blew my old 340. which goes to my stereo which is a sony Xpload 52 watt head unit. and being connected to that is my pride and joy, there 10" 500 Watt BOSS crome plated inverted Subs.
which put out alot of bass, put into a custom box built by my trusty brother in law.
I have 2 Blue Neons which are pretty cool,
I also have added a 10" MOMO steering wheel, which is pretty awsome.
I have a LCD screen to go into the car but i havnt decided to where as to mount it just yet. Tho as for the Engine mods sometime with in weeks from this moment, i am going to apply some bigger fuel jets, to get some more fuel down the hatch.
