Hey guys! I figured I'd start posting my stuff here so uh, here's a brief summary of what's going down.

Basically, my previous car was that 320ci pictured above. It had a few "upgrades" on it, coilovers, wheels, exhaust, tune, etc... But it got slammed into while it was parked outside my house last month, and was promptly written off by my insurance company. Anyways, after paying my deductible and raiding my savings account, I have a decent amount of money to spend on a new daily driver/project car. Any suggestions? I was thinking about either an SW20 MR2 or a MKIII Golf.

((I know I said I wouldn't end the RP that I started back in December, but after my PC having a bunch of problems and other things happening, that RP got super silly and lost its way about seventeen times. Anyways, everything is Gucci now.))

Can't say I feel bad for a Bimmer being wrecked.


Good luck, hope you get a better car dude!

Last month I was browsing www.tradecarview.com and found this, a 1984 Toyota Corolla Levin GT-APEX. After a painstaking wait, it finally arrived.


There's not much done to the car, apart from the TRD style trunklid, four piston (I think) Baer brakes with drilled rotors, and the wheels and tires. The car has around 300,000 kilometers on it, so it's getting up there. I'm likely going to source and swap in a blacktop 20v 4A-GE soon, so stay tuned for that.

That 86 looks clean apart from the missing front end, what are your plans for it? Also let me know if you'll have any leftover parts cause they could come in handy for our 86 which is way less complete than yours. :P

Yuup!

Honestly, I don't know what my plans are. Once I get finished up with the build, I'll send you a list of whatever I have laying around and you can claim whatever you want.

Thanks man, your Silvias are pretty damn clean too!

I made some more progress on the Corolla.

I installed the Vertex bodykit that I bought on Yahoo Auctions Japan almost instantly after I got the confirmation email from my importer, and, it looks pretty good. I still need indicators, headlights, and a grille, but I'll sort that out later. Now, I'm going on the hunt for some fender flares // aftermarket fenders.

My main priority is getting it registered and insured, as it is my only car at the moment. After that, I'm going to source a new engine, and whatever happens after that, is up in the air still.

Thanks! I appreciate the support.

So, I browsed the internet and found some more stuff I was looking for, new fenders, a grille (and badge), headlights, corner lights, and bumper indicators.

Not much I can really say apart from that. Also, I just ordered a bunch of new mechanical parts for the car, so stay tuned...

My plans for this car have changed completely, but, you probably could figure that out just by looking at the picture below.

Since you last saw it, the car has received a bunch of goodies, including but not limited to...
-Paint carbon fiber Vertex hood
-Black OEM Zenki bumpers
-16" Work Euroline DH wheels
-Hood pins
-All panels that weren't blue and should be blue, are

The next update will be a bit more substantial, with a bit more detail, the mechanical parts I mentioned are arriving soon.

Should've been white with an Akina Speedstars sticker on the hood.
