Cosmin's 1994 Toyota Corolla DX "Brianna"

Dude, I got 26mpg with my 626 in mainly city.

I shift at 2,000RPM, too. I accelerate like a school bus, but hell, I'm saving money and my clutch loves me. Oh yeah, I'm in 5th gear at 35mph.

I think with a new fuel filter, spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor, some injector cleaner, and some new 5W-30 you'll get 30mpg - easy while you ROC everywhere.

Even if you think the parts maybe new, replace them if not for performance, think of the economy!

So I finally got around to uploading the pics of the damage...it pains me to see a car in this good condition looking like this

I'm going to get flamed; but what happened?

[94Corolla5Speed]

A few weeks ago, I was behind my one friend at a right turn. We were on a sidestreet getting on to a bigger street. I saw him starting to go, so I turned around, checked traffic, it was clear, and I start going, and I turn back around to see him dead stopped in front of me. Slammed the brakes but it was too late. His car was completely fine, i'm not kidding, and my bumper just shattered.

Yes, thank you, I need to keep water out. And that's electrical tape over the connections

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you after nearly six month's of crunched-face:






She's all wet for you




Showing you her goods




Yea, so today I cleaned the engine with Engine Brite foam, mainly to clean off all the power steering fluid because my damn PS is puking out fluid somewhere I can't find. Looks damn good now too. And I took off the airbox to look at the trans mount and it didn't look too great, so I'm pretty sure this is what's causing my squeak/clunk problem. Luckily it doesn't look too bad to replace so I'm going to get on that maybe in 2-3 weeks when I get a chance to go to my old house again (next Saturday is Genesis event woot)

*applause* Looks good again!

[padauk_dust]

Glad to see her all shiny again! Smokin!

[ihartmacz]

Now, to get some new airbags! Looks great!

[94Corolla5Speed]

Thanks for the comments everyone, she's a real looker now (other than the fact that hidden under the headlights I have pieces of garden hose aiming the headlight since the headlight adjusters are broken)

And Graham, I have 2 new airbags and the computer for it, I just haven't found the time/use/money to put them in.

[ihartmacz]

Very good! Again, Brianna looks great!
