pinstripefan90's 1989 Toyota Corolla

This is my 1989 Toyota Corolla DX.  It is my mpg getter, winter rat and for now my daily driver.  I'm in the process of getting rid of my Exploder so here is my new ride.  My fiance bought this car two years ago after she totaled her '92 Camry in a snow storm and she drove this until I bought her a 2000 Interpid this summer that I picked up for pretty cheap and worked on every day after work in the shop for a few weeks til it was ready.  When the Corolla was hers I was the only person to do work on it so by this point in time I am fairly familiar w/ the car.  The Corolla has a racing 1.6 Inline 4 banger w/ a two barrel carburetor.  It has just about 150,000 miles on it and is fairly clean for its age.  Feel free to stop by and check out this race car...

thanks for the comments man, much appreciated. I changed the speakers inside the dash to bluapunkt 4 inch coaxials. all you have to do is to unscrew the glovebox and the part of the dash under the steering column. from there you can access the speakers. depending on the size of the new speaker's magnet, you may need to fabricate a speaker holder, bu generally, you just screw them into the original slots provided. good luck on your project! i'm giving you 5stars to help you out! :)
