Well, it was a good run with the Liftback Corolla, but unfortunately it’s become unfeasible to keep it going.
The manual swap wasn’t the only improvement on the cards for this car. Whats a sporty weekend/track car without some handing and braking upgrades?
As cool as the standard radio, tape and cd player were, I just couldn’t keep limping along with a volume control that was either turned to eleven, or nothing. I had to replace it.
Once again, a previous owners lack of maintenance is something I end up having to fix. This time it was the torrent of oil being poured out of the rocker cover.
It stopped raining. This was a good thing, as it meant I could finally get to Pick A Part and grab some bits for the Corolla.
Before we can get into doing fun things with this car, I needed to undo some neglect and deferred maintenance.
I didn’t leave it long before I got stuck into playing with this thing. I needed to first check what sort of baseline for maintenance we had.
