My new car

Looks like a good deal! Couple of tweaks and you can probably take it to the track. :laugh:
 
I used to race at Greer Dragway. I still have the car, just dont take it down anymore. I'd say 1991-2 was the last time.
I like the Toyota, we need a road car with some mpg. All I have is trucks and 4x4's.
 
much better than a convertable poopstang :laugh: ........ your not the only one tho. i've been thinking of trading or selling my custom 03 dodge ram for something small with better mpg.... but i will prob never sell my 600hp civic :thumbsup:
 
Well I put about 225 miles on her yesterday and it only dropped a quarter of a tank. It has a 13.2 gallon tank. :beerchug:
 
I just bought a new one just like that. A blue 2010. I had an 07 but they had such a good deal going i had to get a new one. I love it

Ive been taking a lot of crap for doing this so why stop now right?

I traded in my 99 Mustang GT convertible for this 2009 Toyota Corolla S. It has 19,500 miles on it and a 7 year 100,000 mile warranty.

It was kind of a impulse decision. But anyhoo....

Dude. . . . Didn't see that coming! So I guess you got everything worked out with the intake on the GT?

Not really, thats why I got pissed off and traded it. :banghead: But it works out a lot better and I think it was a good move on my part. Much more practical and better for long drives.

Lol. So you traded it broken? Please tell me the coolant passage wasn't JB Welded...:lol:

Nah it still leaked coolant through the new seal right under the thermostat housing. Not real bad but still... But then it started surging once it got up to temperature. I was just tired of dealing with it. The dealership has the know how and the tools to fix it.

Its just been one thing after another. A car like this is what I really needed to begin with anyway.

i guess you still had the intake with the plastic crossover. you can find the aluminum ones pretty cheap usually.
