Gooooood evening. My name is Beau and this a thread of my corolla. I've only had the car for a little over a year, but I'd like to think it's come a long ways. I went through all my photos related to this thing and I'll upload the ones that aren't super boring.
From 2015 to early 2023, I had a 1995 supercharged m3. At the end, it boogied, had my favorite wheels in the best size and coolest finish, couldn't be happier about the car
Small update. My ORC throw out bearing showed and ARP flywheel bolts showed up, so I tried to install the super single. I removed the trans and stock clutch/flywheel. Went to install the ORC flywheel and found that none of the bolt holes lined up. Turns out that my crankshaft only has 6 bolt holes while the new flywheel has 8. I guess ae86 4age has 8 holes and Mr2 4age has 6. Pretty disappointing to find out, so I reinstalled the stock stuff and tossed the super single in a box.
Next I started mocking up oil cooler stuff. Mounting the cooler itself should be pretty straight forward, but mounting the sandwich plate and getting the lines figured out looked like it was going to be a pain because of how much stuff is on the left hand side of the motor.
This is where I find out that relocating the alternator to this side was going to bite me in the ass. Between the alternator, starter, headers, and motor mount arm, there is room for jack shit. I removed the headers to have more room to mess around. No matter what way I rotate the sandwich plate, something always hits something. A buddy told me about these super low pro radium fittings that might do the trick
Talking with another corolla guy, he ended up notching the motor mount arm so he could clock the sandwich plate in a way that would work. Ill update this when those come in.
Ordered the Group A Motoring replica oem rear bumper. After that shows up and gets painted I think the exterior will be complete for the time being.
