Nah. By the time I got out of there yesterday I was exhausted and starting to feel bad again. I just went home and went to bed. I'll have to check out the truck when you get back in town.

Spoke with Andrew alittle about it this weekend, and had a good long talk with Tyler.
Long story short: I'm CONSIDERING putting her up for sale/trade.

Not possitive yet, just considering it at the moment, but I'm not sure I've got the time or patience to put into it & I'd really love to see it in the hands of someone that could finish it the "right way". Right now I kind of want to focus on getting out to events and driving. The thought process is that someone out there may have a more "drift ready" car for sale/trade, & be looking for just this sort of project, with the love and resources to finish it.

IF I did get rid of it, I'd have to be offered one HELL of a deal.
I think everyone here know how much I love this car, it's worth a lot more to me than any Blue Book listing, and I've put a lot of time, money, and love into it already. And, to be honest, I'm sure I'd regret getting rid of it the moment I did. So I'm sure I'd end up sitting on a FS/FT post for a while until the "right" offer came along...





Like I said, just considering it at the moment. Really want to sleep on it for a few days, but I figured I'd mention it to get some opinions from my friends before I did anything.

It's up to you. I honestly miss my corollas, but I cant/couldn't afford to build a corolla properly so a 240 got me on track for a while. Until my retarded urge to spend more time working on cars than driving them kicked back in ugh...

So basically it's up to you. If you want to drive more it may be better to switch now until you're more prepared for a long term project, WHILE driving rather than 1 or the other. I have those springs with me at school also so if you want to stop by and pick them up for something better to drive around on for a while lemme know :p.

the rear out of alignment sounds like a pan hard bar problem.

honestly. unless you can find a fanboy to trade you for a driftable s13 you should keep the car.

It is constantly stressful have a corolla, I love the idea of owning and driving one. But i just hate paying for it and working on it all the time. Im relly glad I got to see patrick out there flying in his this weekend because it is inspiring to see you dont have to build a $10,000 corolla to have fun!! I would keep, FOERST because you love the car and second you wont be happy with what you get for it- wont be worth it!

Sincerely my $.02

i was totally driving marlow's rolla. it's a great car. i think the best part about it is the fact that it isn't crazy. it's just trd springs, hts struts, a diff, a clutch, and an exhaust. he also has funky brake pads, i love to just push the brake enough to make them squeal. so if you heard that when i was waiting in line it was totally on purpose.

Wes, I was talking to Scott T. this weekend. He said you guys fixed the panhard bar issue. :?

What else is wrong with it? Or better yet, would do you need to do in order to feel content with the car?
