RT's Corolla 2.0D (lots of pics)

So here's my Corolla.

2.0D (2-C engine), ~72hp
258.000 kilometeres
1994
Red

When I bought it




Then... Small stuff









Clear side blinkers



Lowered on Eibach Sportline springs




New steering wheel



New Antera Wheels (15')



The weather around here makes the cars all rusty so I had to do something about it














Putting it together + new grill




New brakes


Sold the Antera wheels... Now I'm waiting for some 15' steelies to widen and I hope in the end it will look likje this (PHOTOSHOP)


Will update the thread soon as I have news.

Cheers

Looks great!

Very nice progress, I loved every picture I saw!

yeh very nice build and seems ur good with a can of paint

very nice work bro, im loving all the work that has gone into and i cant wait to see the outcome

Nice work mate!

very nice car bro.always loved a diesel corolla that engine packs quite a punch if driven properly

Very nice work dude, that last picture with the steelies looks so badass. If the ones you're getting look like that then I'll be excited to see them

banded steelies look cool on most cars tbh

Thanks everyone!!

I bought some time ago a turbo + manifold from a Toyota Carina 2.0TD (2C-T engine) and intercooler pipes. I was going do put it together but I've given up on the idea because I already have other fast cars and I want to preserve this Corolla as it it, with no mechanical modifications.

SHEHROZE ARAIN yep these are great engines

miib14 true! I think I've never seen a car that doesn't look good with widen steelies

oooh a 2C-T corolla would be nice

Very nice actually A friend of mine who did the same told me that the original Carina Turbo, Intercooler, oil cooler and few more things could easily reach 120hp. Here in Portugal is commom for these Corolla's to have a hidden turbo

But let's say that in terms of power I'm more of a petrol guy And since I want this Corolla to last years and years I gave up on the idea because even if the assembly is well done there's always a little problem here and there.

yeah true..

your sig and avatar look nice

diesel engines tend to have less life if not driven properly and taken to high revs im saying this because my car has its second engine and that second engine was repaired 2.5 years back now my engine has a bigger bore and bigger pistons does that improve in performance i dont know but it now reaches 170 kph easily.so to turbo it would really be a bad idea in my opinion and since it has manual fuel system rather than electronically controlled it would literally eat up the feul.

Trying out a liftback front bumper... I like it!





Are there any spoilers/lips P&P on this bumper?

Definetly different. Not too sure if i like it to be honest

I think the fact it's different is why I like it and not too sure on lips and stuff, not too familiar with liftbacks.

It will probably look better with the new wheels, they arrived today btw... Will post pics soon.

The rims on the pictures of the new bumper are some ugly 14' Ronals... Meh

BTW the bumper is not definitive, It was borrowed to try it on, I will give it much thought before deciding.

oooh cant wait for pics

And BTW again, maybe in December or January 2013 I will have this Corolla rust free and fresh painted!

Meh, that other front bumper doesn't look much different at all, it looks like the USA Geo Prism in fact... I'd keep your current one! (or keep searching lol)

Some time ago I messed around in photoshop and made this



It's almost coming true!

OZ Superleggera 17'

Soon

ooh nice,
you do know you can 5 stud toooo using the celica st202 hubs

That's actually a really good photoshop!
