Project Corolla T-Sport
Sorry Dean, couldn't do it as dad made a flying visit to fit.
No I don't miss the comfort of the Lexus, and parts are definitely cheaper!
Dean everything is so much cheaper to mod and i have not regretted getting rid of the Lexus at all.
Always so nice to get in to the "T" and not having to put petrol in it, really can just shove £20 in and forget about it for 3-4 days, where as every time I went out in the lex I had to put in fuel and over a month that is a drain on your pocket, Simple things like meet ups etc, I was always working out how much fuel I would need and to me that was a good enough reason to get rid of it.
Actually the front cabin has the same space if not more than inside the Lex and the leather seats are really comfortable.
The "T" is like having two cars, nice and docile when you want to potter around and will return 40+mpg, but when you fancy a spirited drive just change down 3gears, pull to 6200rpm and the little rocket feels like its blue touch papers has just ignited the explosive.
If the Lex makes you smile then the "T" will make you giggle, you are waiting for someone to have a go with you just so you can use the lift and hear the wonderful mechanical growl from the engine at 8200rpm.
It has nice suspension as it is not hard like the Civic type R and is the sort of car you can drive sensibly when the needs arise, Ideal for her indoors if she daily commutes.
last £20 I put in got me 138 miles and that was with a few races with a BMW and others.
Just cant help using 8200 rpm just for the sound
Marsdendean and we have another little one on the way so need to fit a car seat and a 4 year old in !Me, Oli my daughter and another 16yrs old drove to Bristol and back and there was more than enough room for four, and in comfort, not cramped in any aspect.

Couple more mods:
Jason's Kanji plate painted in red and polished, stuck on engine cover, red vacuum tubing, and red calipers:
Just general car pics, including a few (bad) interior pics for Dean:
Coming along very nicely, like the plate on the engine a lot
