aug23 updates

Gab superstrut (ae111 levin) coilovers and brakes.
thats now in my car... bwahaha

tested it yesterday at Libis tunnel (quezon city, philippines).. northbound inside curve 90+kph i can hear my crappy bridgestone grid2s but no understeer whatsoever.. im pretty sure i could tackle that curve 100+kph with my current setup..

i might be gettig neovas in a couple of months as soon as i wear out my tires. cant wait to test it out

no external pics of my car yet but i'll get to that in a couple of days.. i'm waiting for my euro chin spoiler, headunit, 3pt strut bar, etc.

pic of Ronald's engine.. he's the guy i got my coilovers from.

i've decided to keep my 4afe... im just going to turbocharge the hell out of it... here are my plans:
-GT28 or GT30 ballbearing turbo
-custom turbo manifold
-top mount intercooler
-Toms TEC programable ECU
-6 speed transmission

watch out for it by late or mid next year.. im bent on finishing the car by then so i can start with another project - (budget exotic) tube frame, low slung, wide composite body, scissor door, 300whp turbo mid engine... HONDA CIVIC... Chris if you're not gonna do it i will... hahaha this is my new 5 year goal..

-bilstein sport shocks (if i can find the money)
-motul fully synthetic oil
-OE euro2 chin spoiler (already ordered it)

Here are some pics of the car infront of my dorm in ateneo

98 corolla Gli Euro2...
i bought this car already looking like this... unfortunately its all show and hardly any go... so thats what i'm gonna concentrate on.. furure mods are already planned but i'm gonna go at it one at a time...

the car came with:
-Racinglife 17" rims with ventus tires
-Sparco Torino seats
-sikkens red-gold pearl paintjob
-european conversion (different bumpers, grill, lights, fenders and hood) this alone justified the price of the car

Pics of when i picked up my car:

it's still got a long way to go...
