| This is the 3sgte corolla I bought off John-905 on this site. I have wanted the car for about 6 years or so never thinking he would sell it. I had started doing a build aiming in the 3sgte direction and had got as far as stripping out the shell and fitting a roll cage then john told me he was wanting to sell his car, let's just say my project came to a stop and then this arrived lol. This is what the car looked like when it arrived and waiting for it to come felt like the longest day of my life. I don't intend to do many big or major changes to the car at the minute but maybe if the right things pop up that maybe different later down the line. Here's some pictures of it now.  Engine & TransmissionEngine is a standard 3sgte rev2 lump Rev 3 ECU conversion Blitz induction kit Blitz elecronic boost controller Blitz dump valve Decat 3" pipe FMIC Samco hoses Rev 3 ecu conversion Helix 6 paddle clutch kit with uprated pressure plate MR2 turbo rev3 gearbox with LSD Walbro 255 fuel pump BrakesST205 front calipers Impreza 295mm drilled and grooved discs Red stuff pads Rear is st202 brake conversion 5 stud conversion ST202 hubs HandlingBc racing BR series coilovers Rear interior strip Custom half cage with rear tie bar OtherCelica 16" alloys FX-GT JDM rear garnish reflector Heko wind deflectors BZ touring black headlights Clear side repeaters Clear front bumper lenses Savage reclining bucket seats TRS red harnesses D1 spec green wheel nuts Si rear spoiler with brake light insert 20v sideskirts _________________  3SGTE AE101 & OCTAVIA TDI OWNER

| Yeah really happy with the car. Chris, the car needs cv joint, turbo seals and maybe the head gasket doing. These issues will all be done in good time though.
Will have updates with pictures soon guys. _________________  3SGTE AE101 & OCTAVIA TDI OWNER | |

| Sounds good to me Ishaq, hope I can get the funds together in time to fix/tax/insure the car. Thanks John really appreciate the help you have given me and I'm pretty sure ill speak to you about my uncertainties again lol. Here's some minor changes I have made up to now, hope you all like them. I have removed the tow sticker, hidden the tow strap but it is still fitted, fixed the splitter and fitted the BZ touring black background headlights.   _________________  3SGTE AE101 & OCTAVIA TDI OWNER | |

| Just pulled my MOMO wheel out of the box and don't know whether to fit it or not. If I do does anyone know where I could find a TRD horn button that will be a perfect fit?
Do you guys think I should fit it?
Thanks. _________________  3SGTE AE101 & OCTAVIA TDI OWNER | |

| Nice car, dude, and loving all the changes you've done to it too  putting a trd badge on your momo wheel is a great idea! _________________ When life gives you lemons, squirt them in the eyes of your enemies - Happy Bunny If life gives you melons, you're probably dyslexic - Fave T-Shirt Quotes I'm a total novice when it comes to cars, so have patience if I seem stupid, I'm just inexperienced and super-keen to learn.  | |
