Here is a bit of update it got painted Then the fogs got wired And then I picked up a full super strut suspension of a AE101 GTZ Levin and the anti roll bar which is 2.5cm thick also I get twin pot front breaks With that come the engine now its burning oil so I started getting bits for the new engine A oil cooler In the new year I will be getting a turbo and intercooler also a hyundai electronic throttle body with the engine which is a 4A-GZE out of a AE101 Lrvin GTZ I'm going to keep the supercharger and giving it a added kick with a turbo

A update At the end of last year all went a bit pear shape I could not for the live of me get it pass NCT (MOT) emissions its burning so much oil now that it was never going to pass emissions I was hoping it would till I had the funds for the engine I wanted but no luck so I had no choice but to replace the engine with another one I looked long and hard for one and picked up a 4A-GE Silver top that should do nicely That was all good till one cold night I was coming home and the gearbox had an idea and want to join the broken parts bin and blew something so I needed a gearbox again another item I thought about for a while before as I knew I would need a better gearbox and something with LSD well luck would have it a mate was removing a 6 speed LSD gearbox from there car as they wanted 5 speed so I took it I even got drive shafts as one of mine was bent or something not sure what but it wasn't rigt I also fitted the super strut suspension and the breaks just clear the 15" wheels I also picked up a hole bomex body kit for a Levin but I only wanted the spats to finish of the rear as it looked odd

Very interesting build. I thought you were going to scrap it after the crash, people have scrapped cars for a lot less on other forums. My old man had an AE101 Corolla in white, a 2 litre D. By god that thing never died, it had 232000 miles on it and just kept on chugging. He had to scrap it in the end due to rust. I wanted to have one as my first car but insurance was in the thousands for some reason. And even then (back in 2007) they were quite rare. I always liked the FX-GT myself:
I was a member on the Toyota Owner's forum as well for some time but I think the forum changed their software because I don't recognise it anymore but it used to have a light blue and white background, now it is red and white with a different forum design.
