The Story
The corolla started out as my second car. Paid $300 for it cause the original owner hit a deer with it. The car was just a base model daily car. The build started because the engine developed rod knock. I rebuilt the engine, put a aftermarket clutch in and thought it was the best thing ever. The factory 5 speed kept grinding in every gear so I did a 6 speed swap. Then I decided to wrap the car and found out about a turbo kit and that’s where it got expensive lol. Ended up going through 6 engines. Until the beginning of 2025, I decided to fully build the engine as well as run a bigger turbo with an external wastegate, also rewrapped it midnight purple, and converted it to an s trim. With the built engine the stock 6 speed wouldn’t hold up, ended up blowing that twice. Now it’s got a fully built engine and transmission. After all of that I couldn’t decide what else to do so I decided to go on air ride. Hope to have it on soon! Thank you!
