I've noticed quite a few of you guys/gals seem to have other project cars.

there is the guy with the AW11 MR2. i thought i saw someone say they had a evo. what else does everyone have?

I cant see any pics.

The 09 Corolla is my "fun" car, Daily Driver, etc. I have my car, wife has hers, that's it.

I almost got one of those ws6 but I didn't like how the motor is situated. The ws6 I was looking at was owned by tony curtis daughter with 30000 miles.

I have my fun car as everyone knows, my 89 Supercharged MR2. When I bought my 09 Corolla it was going to just be my stock DD but it's now my fun car too! It's nice having 2 fun cars.

I'm going to start making my 07 Matrix fun too as I will be doing many of the same things to it as I did to my Corolla.

I have my smallport 4A-GZE supercharged AE86 GT-S coupe. It's been a project since 2004, not finished yet, but it's pretty fun to drive. I'll post some pics later, I think I may have started a thread about it previously as well.

(My new IS250 is relatively fun as well, but not like the 86).

it is HUGE pain in the ass to work on, but the end results make it that much more worthwhile. Now with long tubes I can do the plugs in less than an hour because I can reach plug 8 from under the car. There hasn't been much of anything I've done without resulting in tons of scratches/cuts all over my hands and arms. Battle scars, I suppose

I'm just glad its an ls1 and not an lt1; even less clearance around the motor.

After working on this car as much as I have, the corolla is a cakewalk. The only issues have been rusty bolts that refuse to budge, but nothing some pb blaster and a torch won't fix.

Sorry to hear about the Corolla dying. To me it was pretty much completed and finished.

Thanks! Yeah, this is the perfect upgrade, more car than the Corolla ever was. I've always wanted the IS300 lol. And yeah, the Corolla was pretty much finished anyway, it was time to dump money into something new!
