'03 Toyota Corolla T Sport
'03 Toyota Corolla T Sport
The car passed it's MOT yesterday so has 13 months now. An advisory on a tyre being low and low front pads, both I knew about. Winter tyres going on next week and I've ordered Mintex brakes all round. Got a sticky caliper as well cos one side has worn quicker than the other. Also got the oil to change, coolant, lift bolts and rocker gasket. I've fitted new number plates as it had square ones on and new wiper blades.
Mods will be tinted windows, induction kit and possibly a stainless exhaust. Here are some photos after a quick wash and wipe down with Z6 :thumbup:

30-09-2018, 11:47 AM #1I've had this for 3 weeks now after winning it on ebay for £2,000. It has the full Face Lift/TTE bodykit, lowered, window deflectors, alloy pedals, C-One rad cover, rad and oil caps, Alpine headunit (worth £190) and handsfree kit installed. The car is on 73,000 miles nearly and has part service history.

30-09-2018, 12:07 PM #3I think the guy took those on his camera phone, so they didn't look that goos! Apart from a few small stone chips around the car and some lacquer coming off one of the wing mirrors it's in very good condition
Can't believe you got it for £2K!!! excellent....

Cheers mate...I can't believe I got it for that either. TBH I don't think the guy knew what was fitted to the car. He didn't know it was lowered and thought the rad cover must've been standard, it's just under £100 to buy new. Plus the oil and rad caps are around £25-£30 each from what I've seen.
SHAHZ Agreed, has come out looking lovely Rich
Thanks mate, not bad for an hours work

04-10-2018, 05:50 AM #7Got all of my parts to service the car now...oil, filters, sump nut, coolant, new lift bolts and gasket. Also got new Mintex brakes, which came yesterday so those are getting fitted soon.
I've not really tested the handling yet as I'm waiting until I get some decent tyres on the car. It currently has 4 different brands on there and you can tell.
Am I missing the old Mondeo, nah, I was sad to see it go but the T Sport was well worth getting :thumbup1:
