My Extremely Modded 95 Corolla **Pics**
Well, guys/gals you might have seen my work on the tC that we have (C/F fenders, hood, and lip). So, I'm sorta handy with the tools in the garage on installing body mods and what not. Well, the story is, I have a 95 Corolla as well. The tC is our little drag car, and the Corolla was the beater.
The Corolla's clutch went out last night. I've been smelling the clutch for about 3 days now, and it ran it's last run last night. It has the begining phases of being modded, but I just pushed it aside when the tC came home, and it sorta just started falling apart. Well I got off my butt and finally fixed her back up.
This is what she looked like before, as my daily beater...
And this is what she looks like now...

Notice the custom cutt windows. Gives it that stream line look.
I did a custom Headlight conversion. Thanks to my Custom Craftsman sockets.
It took me some time, but I am happy with the widebody kit that I bought. It came out clean and it fits well. (Emblems where included with the kit).
You wouldn't believe what I had to go through to get the spacers made, that would give me enough room for the wheels, and also convert the Corolla's 4 lugs to 5 lugs.
Custom wheels straight from Japan.
Not Picutred.
RWD conversion
VQ Engine Swap w/ 6spd tranny
And playing with the traction control is fun.

Hehee...thanks guys.
The tC is getting Boosted right now, so I'm at ease from the wait, because I got the 350 to calm my nerves.
PS...the tC will be faster than the Z. (For Now that is.....MUHAAHAA!)

On second thought, trade the 350Z back in and get a 300ZX TT. It's a better car overall anyway.

everyone got the whole thread wrong
it wasnt me complaining about how i cant affor to pay gas
it was SUPPOSED to be what motivates poeple to still mod their cars even though gas is sky rocketing
and i can mod as much as i want to, i have found a great job.. and am slowly starting to save up again
but im THINKIN of buyin a beater... i prolly wont.. cuz then i cant mod my tC to the fullest

The tC is going to be in the low 13's, high 12's.
The Z won't be for straight lining. It's for going SideWays..

I still have the Corolla. But I'm giving it to my g/f's Kid brother. He is inspired by watching me fix up the tC. So, he is into cars also. I learned how to do a load of stuff on my beater. So, it will be his Learning car now. He just needs to get Mom&Dad to pay for a new clutch install, and possibly another engine.

Where the hell did this forum come from..?
Nice car man, my dad use to have the same color..
He got in a really bad accident with it and because of all the airbags he's still alive. It's a very safe car..
You should get the Jim Wolf intake on it.. it's under $100, makes good HP and sounds wonderful in the high RPMs.

That's cool, got any links to purchase one?
Also, I'm not sure on how many engine mods I will do to it. Cause my "Dream" goal is to have a JDM Super Z powered by an RB26Dett near 600hp. Thats my dream. I might settle for TT'ing it and pushing 500hp on the VQ, but RB's look so sick in this car.

I don't remember it being $179 when my dad purchased it.. I'm pretty sure it was alot closer to $100. It's still not too bad I guess.
