My Car life before the ZHP.

[trancenation]

Hey Guys,

Thought since we are all family here I thought I'd share my past experiences with one of the cars that kind of got me started into the realm of modifications. This is ofcourse a story about modifications of the family "grocery getter" Toyota Corolla. I've put a ton of work into the car and know the ins and outs of it. Please no haters here as I was 15 when I started the project.

List of Current Modifications:
INJEN CAI
Tein H Techs
5Zigen GN+ wheels 215/45/17
Altis 2nd Gen LED Tail Lamps (JDM)
Altis Lip Spoiler (JDM)
OEM Corolla Fog Lamps with 6000k HID Kit
Mccolough Headlight 6000k HID Kit
Ultra Racing Front and Rear Strut Bars
Vuteq Performance Grill
Altis ESAM Sunvisors
Visual Garage Sharkfin Antenna

Previous Major Modifications:
Megan Racing Coilovers
Greddy SP2 Exhaust
Ultra Racing 4 Point Rear Strut Bar

Enjoy! It gets 35 MPG highway and makes a great commuter!

The only Corolla I'd ever drive.

Sent from a junkyard via GS4.

Nice ride. Here's mine... It's still with us and is about as old as me: 1989 Ford Tempo ~240k miles (unknown after 230k since odometer broke after that).

Before you all gasp in awe over it's sexiness, know this. I treat my ZHP much better, the tempo is our family car. My mom drove it the first 12 years, hence the white mismatched bumper... Haha.

Good to hear that it is still up and running!

you must know Ronald Tang. High school buddy of mine who had one of the nicest corollas in the city. I digged it.

No worries, no H8ers allowed on 'family cars', no matter what they are.

Ah, the Ford Tempo. Never was a car so misappropriately named.



My entry:
The only car I've ever owned before the ZHP. Yes, I keep my cars for a long time, apparently... (considering my age)

E30. With an M3 engine, of course.
And euro bumpers, albeit a bit ... warped and broken... couldn't wait to ditch the diving boards.

I think we actually have a thread for all your rides before the current ZHP/BMW/Mini.

[trancenation]

Oh yeah, I believe we do however I didn't intend on this thread being a "before my zhp". I thought I would just post my individual experience..haha

[danewilson77]

Right. I totally got the fact that this was YOUR thread to talk about YOUR previous whip.

[johnrando]

Yup.
