Got this car Aug 14, 2010 from a guy named Neil in Pasadena, CA. Took this pic few days after driving it back.

Bought the TE37s from AZSR5 (Jon) for it over a year before I even owned the car lol...
Image
Image

Got these shortly after....
sway bars from HASHIRIYA (Wes)
Image
Image
Image
Image

Did a shifter bushing replacement. Didn't take pics of em but they were the black delrin ones.
Image
The bushing was nonexistent....
Image

a few pics of spring and swaybar install....

Image

wheel swap time!
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image


SEAT-BACK SWAP!
Image
the seats were in pretty poor shape..........
Image
Image
sprayed em with Rustoleum rust prevent and treater i think... something like that.
Image
Image
Can't leave the little details out.
Image
Image
Image


VALVE COVER SWAP!
these were just nasty wannabe ferrari red....
Image
sourced these off of ebay. Said they had Alodine coating on em. Not sure if it was legit but they looked nice with the pure metal color...
Image
Image

Nice looking ride dude! Bummer about the break down.

Regarding the cat...you can try removing the o2 sensor to see if there's any change in performance, but you really should remove the cat to so see if it's actually clogged. A number of things can cause a clogged cat such as running really rich, oil getting in the exhaust, debris (perhaps running itbs with no filters), and so on. Hopefully others will chime in with ideas because the issue could be a number of things aside from a bad cat.

Installed NST short shift kit today. Damn thing shifts amazing now. Short crisp throws. Didn't take too many pics but here are the ones I did. Extended bolts are 45mm. Fits nice but the boot is a little tight now. Might cut a ring of material off the top....

Your car is crazy clean, man. The White and TE37s are perfect.
And the fact that you have that hatch cargo cover thing...amazing haha.

Hey thanks man. Paint needs a major redo up close tho. Thinking of stickerbombing a panel or two... I gotta take more detailed pics of everything some time.

I like the way you're fixing up your car, clean with legit parts. I hate how nowadays all people want to do is boro style or hellflush.

Clean 86! Do you have a side profile picture of your car before you changed to TRD springs?

Still trying to find out why its not passing SMOG.

Cleaned EGR system today. Wasn't too bad. EGR bladder works fine and so did the vac modulator but replaced it just because the cap was loose and inside was black... not sure if its supposed to be.

Image

Image

Replaced TPS also just because I suspect its bad. Killed 2 catalytic converters so far. Shouldn't just throw parts at the car but new is better. :lol:

Image

Also, while I was out there workin on the car. THIS CAME IN.

Image

Image

Image

Gonna turn my Cusco strut bar into a tri-bar soon... :!:

I love seeing clean 86's. I especially love white as a color choice! And anything HKS for the 86 is pure gold, enjoy the car man!

Thanks. The paint could use some help, and leaks a bit, and noisy R&P, but other than that its unmolested. :)

Hmm , I didn't passed smog in my 86 until i changed the CAT after the second try, well that was after i did a tune up, changed the spark plug wire set, spark plugs, new oil, and seafoam and a new O2. on the first try ,it was boreder line close to passing. timing perhaps ?

Oh man that nst short shifter. I wanted to pick that up! Must be nice!
You are doing a great job building up the corolla.
Question did you just hook up the tps? I have a extra one but I haven't put it in yet

Maybe I should seafoam too. Everything else you listed is new on mine too. But my stock exhaust mani was really loose on the downpipe last time. I just tightened it up as best I could but I might have to take it off the car to get it super tight.
