My Saloon: School/ AutoCross Rolla!

Hey

So i have bought a Corolla again, after driving a old Bmw e34 now for 4weeks.
I wanted a nice simple car, for driving to school, and driving autoslalom in the standard class.











My plans are:
- Light wheels(Rota Slipstream in white)
- Good tyres ( Toyo Proxes T1-r)
- Antiroll bars/sway bars. Not sure what the best? Whiteline? Ultra racing?
- Stiffer shocks ( Tokico or Koni ???)
- Exhaust Header
- 2" exhaust homemade
- 7afe head gasket for more compression
- Some styling to make the car look more agressive? Any ideas? A small spoiler/ lip on the trunk? A lip that is bolt on on the front bumper? Somthing inbetween the taillights, Reflex plate or somthing? You guys know it ! The normal easy styling.

Cheers

wow nice clean model, im pretty sure you said you bought a hatch?

Looks very clean and in good condition!

I like the colour it's very clean looking. Can't wait till your plans get rollin And whiteline I've found rather hard to get your hands on, so it's probably gonna be more expensive. I think Ishaq said he has a guy who could get UltraRacing stuff too? So that's probably your best bet.

Yeah, looks abit booring now. Somthing my grandma would drive.
Some dings around.. Bought it in the rain, so i didn't see all the scratches and dings.

amazing find bro it even has those head light washers and the antenna on the bumper.if u change the bumper i have dibs on those head light washers

hehe Its a little bit beaten up, but its okay. I wanted a rolla with a 4afe, and this was the only one available at the time.

Ishaq, could you hook me up with this guy with some prices. I think i only need front and rear sway bars.
I do not think i need the other bars.. or if you guys have noticed big difference on some bar, then i will consider it..
Tried Strutbars and "cages" under the car on my Mk1 Golf, but couldn't feel any big difference.

iv pm'd you the prices vegard

Dang that's good. lol welcome back! First thing would have to be wheels and springs!

And you should get that lip spoiler too. It's very simple yet very appealing upgrade in my opinion.

Hehe. it's good to be back! This time, the rolla will be my "weekend racer" so i hope it wil do well! so the rules in autocross says i need yo have standard springs to compete in the class i want.... so i cant lower it
Bought a m3 lip for it. will be nice

First problem on my rolla!
Driving home from school. Then the new Toyota GT86 got on the road in front of me.
I was driving close, to make him give it some throttle
He gave it some, from 30kmt to 80, and My rolla followed closely..
Could se the guy looking in the mirror, clearly abit annoyed.
Se we stopped at a lightcrossing. He gave it the beans, and i gave full throttle
First gear, we where close, 2nd gear, he started pulling away. 100kmt, 3rd gear and he was pulling away pretty good. at 160kmt he was around 2-3 car lenghts in front.. Not bad for the rolla i thought, then BAM, the belt for the alternator, waterpump and powersteering broke off.. :p
Oh well, atleast the Rolla got it's first drag with a granson of his.

The 0-100kmt numbers given by toyota on the cars are:
The Rolla, 0-100 on 10sec
The GT86, 0-100 on 7.7sec

Wow thats awesome.. If you can keep up with a gt86 i wonder what i could do lol

Atleast new belts will help lol, when was cambelt last changed?

I do not know, i think it needs to be changed really soon.
I will mount the 7a-fe head gasket and the new exhaust headers at the same time.

I didn't really keep up, but i didnt get "parked" by the GT86 as a Corolla should by a 2012 sportscar..

Haha nice. Any engine bay pics?
Also are you allowed to strip the interior? What about plexi glass windows?
Theres afew 7afe aftermarket headers on ebay usa..

Nah, im not allowed to do anything else than changing shocks really.
I'm going to remove the spare wheel when racing.. other than that, no weight reduction..
I allready have a aftermarket header
I'm going to wash the car, and go over with scratch remover on the worst scratches today Will take som pics of the engine bay.. even though its nothing special.

Do you guys know of any intake that flows better? maybe somthing from a 4age or a 7afe.. Injectors? Any cheap engine mod is appriciated! :p

What about itbs of the 4age 20v?
And cold air intake or box?
Battery and washer bottle relocation to boot to even weight distribution

I don't think itb's would be legal :p
I was just thinking of a intake that flow better, but looks original.

The brakes are not good on the rolla now... The pedal goes to the floor. Might be the master sylinder? Or just air in the system

Try bleeding first, and maybe the pads are bare?

Hahah I don't think itb's would be legal either. And a original looking intake eh.... what you could do is the piping under the stock airbox, take all that out, and even the waterbox behind the bumper, then run some flexible piping from the bottom of your stock airbox down into the hole left by the piping and have a filter near your wheel well or something. Take in some decent cold air and if you do it sneakily enough no one would notice

Haha!
Will se what i do. its a race now the 27.
I think some small mods, thats not considered power mods from the DMV is okay in the race.. So Exhaust headers and a cone filter atleast. And if i find some 4age intake that will be perfect.

found out what caused the brake to fail. Both rear drums are getting hot when i drive.. No sound, and it rolls easy. But since i had been for a long trip the brake fluid probably boiled. Because when i drove it today, it was okay again..

Sounds like old fluid.
Are you running on tarmac or grass??

It's tarmac. think i got my wheels at home now! First race tomorrow.. I might have to run in the beginner class, because of these rules.. i will update later this evening.

The rims!
Only got two pieces..... hope the shipping guys have them all..
If they have the rest, i will get pix tomorrow

wow they look nice mate

secondplace in standar class.. not happy.. winnertime was 1.58.68 and my time was 1.58.69.. I touched one cone and that gave me a 2sec penalty

Gutted bro, but well done
