So I got this 2007 Corolla S a few weeks ago for 100$ and turned it into a rally beater seat time rig. New struts & springs, lifted 20mm, medium compound gravel rally tires, and OEM celica wheels from a '95 I got for 20 bucks. I removed front sway bar to aid the open diff and allow the rear to rotate more. FWD in the dirt is a fun dynamic. Will post some vids eventually
Little FC update:
I deleted and removed some clutter from the engine bay. Starting with the leaking and complicated swirl pot setup. Then I purchased the greddy compression tube along with new charge pipes. The old setup w/ stock throttle body tube made it so the charge pipe had to do a 180 and to be removed to service oil filter. That is no longer the case! And it looks a bit more sleek. I also got an oversized air filter to replace the teeny cone filter. This changed the turbo flutter noise. Next up I had redone alot of the chassis wiring, IT WAS A MESS before, been cleaning it up as I go. Fixed a few drive-ability issues along the way. Then finally the parts table.. I got some new coilovers to replace the mismatched set. It had 10k front springs and 10k rear springs on dampers with zero adjustment. Now sitting on 8k front, and 6k rear - 32 way adjustable. I got powered by MAX rear links for camber and toe adjustment. I plan to raise the car a little to fix geometry and get clearance for the 245 square setup. It had a few other minor things I got to address as well. I added stock sway bars back on, with adjustable end links to eliminate preload. Power steering lines leaking- replaced with new. Also got some new steering rack bellow boots. Upgraded to an FD Alternator, fixed tps wiring, and got a front lip for the S5 front bumper.
