    Ownership Verified: Hardcore Sellin’ Out – gaasc’s 2013 Corolla

    The beauty of it is that while the interior is crap, the driving dynamic is sketchy, the styling is boring, the efficiency is meh and the speed is slow. This thing was built with proven technology and has very little foibles. Change the fluids as you should and it should last as long as you...

    Ownership Verified: Hardcore Sellin’ Out – gaasc’s 2013 Corolla

    Very nice! 1.8 with 4A/T? I have basically the same car (2011) with 1.6 and it's the most resilient car I have ever had a fortune to own. I only uses it occasionally and leaving it stationary for weeks, and when I use it all of it is done flat out. Often the crusing speed is 112mph. Pretty...

    What's your automotive guilty pleasure?

    I enjoy the creation and inspection of damage on stanced car as long as it is not on my own car. I find Youtube videos of stanced cars leaving meets and discovering grinded off undercarriage components very intriguing.

    And guess what. They're doing it just by fusion stuffs together. They hardly explore proper new idea anymore.

    It's been very enjoyable! I reckon it's the exact era in which old school and modern technology co-existed in perfect harmony. Took you a while. Imagine people on the roads who don't have access to under bonnet pictures. :p My parents had the generation before (E80) and after (E100) this...

    In Bangkok if you want the H you just need to turn the A/C off. :p

    Thanks! You know it was properly engineered when similar designs ran from 1983 until 2001! They might look different on the outside but parts interchangeability is absolutely great! The engine swap pretty much bolts right in. Thank you! I cannot say for sure but I believe this engine is from...

    Thank you! I reckon they did so because typical Yuroopean would considered the regal grille to be kitsch. It's a cheap compact after all. Glad you like it! Thanks! :D Thank you! Been enjoying it a lot. Can't handle the JDMTYTE goodness? :P Thank you! The original 13 inches steelies...

    About 9 months ago I sold my W124 after getting fed up with trying to sort all the electrical gremlins on it. I was looking at a Volvo 850 Turbo but looking at the immediate previous sentence it'd be a bit ironic. Besides, the one I wanted was very specific and the owner had health issues which...

    The show is terrific but the vision of a certain gold Infiniti M30 keep appearing and it's very distracting.

    This is Tomica Premium Nissan Leopard. A close friend brought it over from Japan for 9$. A quick glance at Fleabay and there appears to be a few people who'll sell you one cheap with free shipping too! :) There's also the Vintage Neo range which is massively expensive but extremely good...
