anyidea how much your boxing in at the back has added in weight, despite thinking its a rubbish idea for a driftcar/corolla. it does look quite smart. congrats.

this is coming along well! keep the progress coming, I'm loving inside the back! anyidea how much your boxing in at the back has added in weight, despite thinking its a rubbish idea for a driftcar/corolla. it does look quite smart. congrats. get onto your local GRP supplier and see if you can get black fibreglass pre made sheet and some low pressure rivets, looks the shizznat and wighs nowt.

Really is an exciting looking car, and sound of that lovely 4a-ge, think its time to start me a thread in general.
|

it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts

i boxed out the back of my 205 when i had one and i agree that it looks really good but even a little bit of weight over the back wheels can ruin it, my lil 205 wouldnt lift oversteer as much as i tried. now i havent even got a stereo in my corolla, if it can come out the car it will. still depends what you want the vehicle for in general

well the diff is now fitted back upto the car
still got the halfshafts to go on and galf the driveshaft as well i cant find the back brake pads i took off of the car which is a bit worrying as they were in perfect condition lol, might need to go buy more now
front brakes have seized, curse word pitworks pads on there just now have blitz ones to go on
other problem i have encountered is a problem with the alternator, it is only charing between 9-11 volts which is not enough, however when i got it tested it tested as perfect weird, also managed to set the alternator cable on fire twice, hmm this car has me paranoid now

have you got them rims that were on it when you bought it they look the best imo also drift cars have stretched tyres not bubble tyres. it looks nice you just need alot of sponsers and they will pay for alot of things if you want anything in return you chuck ALOT of stickers on your car
