New Life For The Corolla

[Wicks]

First Post!

Hi all -

Gather round - I am the proud owner of a little 1.3 GLS basic model S Reg silver Corolla, had the beast for 2 years now.

After driving a more exiting un-named german car (lets mix the letters AUID) ... I started to become a little bored with the Corolla.

After looking around at more flashier cars, I realised I couldn't sell the little car in my driveway - such a well built thing that had done nothing wrong to me... (before we all puke lets move on)

So, I've decided to hang on to it - and make it a project. My first "car project" is to make the Corolla more exiting... not chav it out, but spruce it up and make it fun again.

Any Suggestions? :)

Hi and welcome to TOC

greetings, where abouts in hant are you? the E11 series corolla is a very dependable car and the three door model handle very well. i hav the 1.6 version and after two years of ownership have decided it was time for a bigger engine so that's in the process of happening. for the 1.3 i'd suggest swapping for a starlet GT Turbo engine (nippy, reliable and relatively good fuel returns for a turbo).

surprised you coudnt sell - i suppose it depends on where you live. can you post some pics up of the car and a few more details?
