No its not....unfortunately and it will remain that way......one awd car is enough smile.gif...I`d like this one to be simple and light weight.....makes it a different drive to the GT4, so a bit of variation is good.

No worries mate, will do.

Started to stick on the castrol rally stickers on yesterday but its very cold here and I dont think the glue likes it...driving to work the "Castrol" sticker suddenly said "Catrol"...then "atrol"...by the time I got to work it just said "l" so I wont be putting any more sticker on the car until it gets warmer....and I`ll be ordering a new "Castrol" sticker for the bonnet. laugh.gif

wait so do those corolla's even come in awd. What is the weight on the corolla and what type of suspension does it have?

Not sure if this particular model of Corolla has an AWD version.....obviously the real WRC versions did have 4WD but they were one off, made for rallying only. Regardless of wether there is an AWD version or not mine will be staying 2wd.

It just has a normal mcpherson suspension set up.

That's called a toyota sprinter carib in japan, it already comes with the 4age 20v in the later models (bz-touring).

when the corolla was entered into the wrc the regulations changed, and homologation was not required under the new wrc rules as it was under the old group a rules.

For a while the Corolla looked like this



but it took just 2 days for the vandals to find it and they buggered up all the stickers down one side of the car by trying to peel them off, picking at the edges ets.....2 ****in days.

So I took them all back off again frown.gif back to standard looking. You cant have anything nice in the UK without people ruining it for you, total lack of respect. If I`d have caught them at it I would have shown their faces the same respect as they showed my car.

I did have plans for engine swaps etc but as petrol here is now equivalent $8.37 a gallon I cant afford it anymore......so I`ll be turning the ST205 into a rally inspired monster instead smile.gif to use as a weekend toy.

...you should have had a layer of clear painted over the whole car to seal the decals in....and parked in a garage or used a car cover.

Yes, but I wanted the option of removing the decals when I wanted to change them, I dont have a garage to park the car in, and a car cover just invites scum to vandalise your car....kids and young people have no respect in the UK what so ever unfortunately.

Moving house soon though to somewhere with a garage....and a workshop too biggrin.gif so hopefully it wont be a problem soon smile.gif
