Lord of the Ringies! Fellowship of the Spirit!	Wed, 25 August 2004 12:21

One day, Hydra and Scriber were sitting in their cars up on the old freeway http://www.users.on.net/~hydra/images/toymods/oldf wy.jpg and they both had a dream... this dream involved a corolla of some form becoming the king of the old freeway. We all know that the old freeway is now somewhat... f*$ked, but we can still dream! Anyway, not too long after dreaming this up we managed to find ourselves a fairly clean KE70 Corolla Spirit. http://www.users.on.net/~hydra/cars/spirit/Before/ corolla01.jpg http://www.users.on.net/~hydra/cars/spirit/Before/ corolla02.jpg http://www.users.on.net/~hydra/cars/spirit/Before/ corolla03.jpg Quite the nice example really. It didn't take long for some "bright" ideas to pop up... suggestions from friends... Next thing I know, Shadow and Scriber have the car in Scribers garage, all masked up and ready for some paint... the result: http://www.users.on.net/~hydra/cars/spirit/Before/ mini-spirit0001.JPG Kansai tuning sticker donated by genkin... all those extra KW!! Soon after this had happened, Shadow decided to show us Kypo forest (we spell it like that for no reason). While there, COROLA discovered that mud isn't only good for doughies... it's also great for "shnaps". The results can only be described in pictures: http://www.users.on.net/~hydra/cars/spirit/After/m ini-spirit0011.JPG http://www.users.on.net/~hydra/cars/spirit/After/m ini-spirit0012.JPG http://www.users.on.net/~hydra/cars/spirit/After/m ini-spirit0015.JPG The Fellowship of the Spirit was bourne. Hydra, Scriber, COROLA and Shadow had formed a team of crazy looneys who would thrash the sh!t out of a corolla on a certain muddy road designed for dry weather only. Since that day, we've had our fair share of problems with the spirit. It has taken the beatings we've given it though, running without oil or coolant at times, the engine still goes strong. We still have the crappy 4K in the engine bay, it just has a 3K carby, KE36 fuel pump, KE36 exhaust/extractors, umm... whatever else we could fix up. It runs pretty nicely, but lacks torque bigtime! One addition that we made thanks to around $50 of mine was the tits... yes, the tits. These were put on just before our first venture to kypo from memory. The tits are a pair of lights that kinda look like tits when pressed against your chest... cept they're solid and black. Anyway, I do not know why we called them tits, but we were probably driving along in the hills and switched them on, prompting COROLA to say TITS! Right now the Spirit is on daily driver duty since CELIXX is off the road STILL. That hasn't stopped us from heading up to Mt Crawford for the odd thrash on one of the many dirt roads... and rally tracks! Plans for the Spirit are still up in the air... A 4A-GE is looking very high on the priority list right now though. Suspension is also up there... but the one thing we need to attend to really soon is BRAKES. Suggestions welcome! I don't think there is much more I can say... COROLA will have more to add, and will correct me i'm sure. The Fellowship lives on. http://www.users.on.net/~hydra/images/toymods/spir it.jpg (COROLA and Scriber pictured) [Report message to a moderator]
