Testing the water: Corolla GT Coupe

I can vouch for the 10k bob has spent! Sure scared the living shit out of me around castle coombe... hahaha. although your old man did tell me you always are a bit mad on track Bob! :D

Id love to see one of the northern irish lads 'try' and keep up with yours around any circuit. My verdict, 10k very well spent ;)
 
just a quick note, my home pc has died so getting online is proving hard at the moment. I apologise to those that have pm'd me, and I will try to reply asap.

thanks.

Baz.

Thanks hun! :p :D You know it makes sence when you get the pleasure of raping 300bhp+ scoobies and evos on track etc! :nod:
 
bobby is gonna start his own forum anyway "trying real hard to keep the thing from sliding all over the gaff works" is gonna be a big hit.

It is a forum based on kicking peoples ass all over the track in a 20 yr old car he rebuilt himself. but as it hasn't got a some fogs on the front and a janspeed i won't be joining it.

:euge:

Free bump Baz BTT

Hahahahahaha, i love it when the Northern Irish slate my car! It just shows their extremely boring side and lack of any imagination!

All they like doing is doing dounts at cruises and listening to their janspeeds rasping away whilst allowing their cibies to light up the smoke they just laid with their superlites!

If they think they could spend £10k any better, i would like to see them try! But most of them are incompetent to do the work themselves so they would end up spending that much on labour costs!

Plus they would only get to spending £2k and then their imaginations would run out!

E.G. Superlites with tyres = £400
Janspeed manifold and system = £400
4 new Cibie oscars = almost another £400
Fensport lowering springs (or similar) = £150
Bilstein shockers if they feel extravagant = £350
Air filter = £50-100

Oooooohh, thats £2k well spent! What a well sorted 86 you now have! And so individual! :wack:

Amen ;)

Surely you're just as bad as them now by making fun of their cars? They really shouldn't have been so offensive towards your cars but you shouldn't lower yourself with petty come-backs.
 
Haha, good shout Si! :nod: :p

Ive just tried to join that irish coupes forum and am waiting to get confirmation etc!
My screen name will be 'Your Worst Nightmare' because im gonna stir up some shite and probably get banned with in a week!

And sorry for the hi jack Baz! :p

you are right, i usually try to keep a lid on it, but what they said about the car is out of order especially as they have never seen it go.

Totally agree. But they see the corolla gt coupe as a classic, it's be like doing that to a mk2 escort? Some people think it's sacrilege. It's still the view over here that the English only caught onto the ae86 when drifting became popular where as in Ireland they were always reeeally popular! They bear a grudge cos the Irish want them all to themselves!

They wont like my other project either then! As its a mk2 escort with a 4AGE transplant and kawasaki lime green paint job! haha.
Its weird how the northern and southern irish have completely different out looks on the 86! For e.g. Ian (aka Old Skool Cars) hes a southern'er and loves the jap/drift style as does alot of other southern irish lads, but if the northern irish were to look at his car they would want to kill him!?! Weird! Std 86's look boring and old man style if you ask me!

I like it, thats all that matters! :nod:

Plus i bet the northern Irish 86 fans wouldnt acheive one of these with their janspeed and superlite sponsered cars!

I still think most sothern irish fellas rather uk spec cars! I do, i'd much rather a standard uk one with superlites and all that other boring stuff ye hate(!), but i can still appreciate a well specced jap car.

Whats an XR31?!?! :wack: :p

But your right when you use the word 'MOST' as i can vouch for quite a few people i know who had 86's back in the day and used to give it sideways everywhere! But it wasnt called drifting! thats just a gay name started by the japs! haha. Broadside is closer the mark :nod:
 
why are you all bitchin each other for f$$k sake we are all lucky to have a nice 86 just think if you dont have your 86 and you cant afford or find a nice one you all be cryin.
every one have there own taste and leave it as that

brother betty i love what you done to the car a evo muchin sti killig weapon, im glad some one made one for the sole purpose of eating big cars

and all you irish nutters who do thing your own way which is good dont need to copy all the jap boys.

lets all be happy treat each other with respect and stop bitchin and see how we can make driftin bigger without it gettin too chaved.

go back to the roots why do you want an 86??
im sure we all have nearly the same resone the love of the car
it dose not matter what it looks like if you love it
for all those who owns and 86 can you remenber what it was like when you got in and drove your 86 for the first time??
thats what got all of us. We all in this 86 brotherhood and to that there arent many of us left so be cool to each other and enjoy the 86 which ever way you like!

:D Glad you're happy with the car, she's a good motor so you take good care of her for me eh. :thumbs:

We were over in Cavan at the weekend and saw a mint black one with Cibies and black/silver minilite style wheels - looked fab. Wish I had the time and money to refurb that one but hey, house comes first unfortunately. :euge:

Don't forget to send me some pics as you go along, I want to see what the final look is.

Baz.

ps: thanks all for your help and advice, or offers ;) , its greatly appreciated.
