I figure I post here since most of you have beaters.
I just purchased a Corolla GTS, for grins and kicks and "beater" purposes (eg. Costco, movies, or whatever).
I just spent more than I wanted modifying this 15 year old car. Intake, TRD headers, just bought rims for the damn thing.
My intent was just to get it Maaco painted to look half *** decent, and now, I spend hours online and ebay looking for other goodies.

 

my car already came modded... but I just bought a clock for it.

 

d'oh!

i'm thinking beat0rship is coming my way sometime this next year,...hope i can control. mebbe i should buy something that's rEEly hard to mod. :D

-k-b0t, who assumes he'll have his EG someday...someday....

 

1988 Audi 80, Stereo and traded a momo wheel for 15 TSW hockenheims, Those are the only mods.

mattj

 

Beleive it or not I think I may have some more parts that will fit that thing lying around here.. but it will still be ugly

 

I do.
ProComp 6000 shocks
ProComp Mud Terrain tires
Akimoto Intake (from my R)
Jaz Catch Can (from my R)
PIAA lights
Frame welded brush guard
Yamaka skiracks
Full Rockford Fosgate sound system (thanks Pete & Jim Fosgate for the sponsorship! )
Oh yeah did I mention the nitrous and fuel system? lol Not yet at least! hahahah

 

My 1989 Toyota Tercel Beater, is still stock, for now but i have plans to swap in a nice supra motor hahaha

*keeps dreaming*

 

See Sig. Stock. All $ goes to ITR.

 

I mod anything and everything. I even have a "built" blender for margaritas

 

haha Tim Taylor the Tool Man


"It worked fine.......but it needed more POWER, AR AR AARRRR"

 

A 90 Corolla really isn't worth modding

Next beater will probably be an EK 4-door w/ a B20Z, but that's a couple of years away--this beater still has a long life ahead of it!

 

88 CR-X with a b16a along with the basic upgrades.

 

Well its not really a beater but so far I added a weapon-r intake and eibach springs to my mom's 2002 Honda oddysey. Four words its fun with freinds... Well I only use the car when many off my freinds want to cruise and don't want a convoy of cars cause of the dumb recon laws we got down here in Hawaii. Or just to haul parts...

 

d00d, AE86s are the BOMB!!!!

 

vtecvoodoo whats the compression ratio on the blender? HP to the blades?? haha........i got ahead of myself........

 

i just wish i caould find an eg or an ef for that matter. i've had no luck.

 

damn you guys are crazy, you guys just get used to modify a car!!!!
i mod my car just cuz i love the car

 

i have a '00 crv for a beater, pretty much stock cept for system and rims but the possibilities are there.. i should find a way to switch the b20 bottom w/ my b18c5 bottom and then when i upgrade my itr header i can put the old one on the crv... not to mention the many mugen, jaos, wagg possibilities for the crv heheh beaters are fun -rob

 

I spend some $$ on my '46 ****** Jeep, complete Motor build, suspension etc...
My '86 Olds commuter car is stock other then a custom cold air intake I did on it...
M

 

oh that is a sweet car....can you say hachi roku...a drifters dream....i say mod the snot out of it...and swap the JDM 4agze in it , or the 20 valve dohc version...*drools* PICS PLEASE

 

:raises hand:

Picked up an 89 BMW 325i with a "blown" motor for $400. I tossed a yard motor in it and promised myself it would be just a beater... (salt car). Now its lowered, new shocks, new brakes, CD player, filter charger... damn... you gotta hate it when your beater take $$ away from your R

 

i mod my beater with lots of stickers

oh yeah, and i got a high flow drop in filter!!!

I only have a single car atm, but my lawnmower is my "other ride" >> working on a computerized fuel management (just manual right now), new plug , will port the exhaust a bit and has a high flow airintake on it.

Right now the ETA for the 1/4 is around 5minutes maybe? I'm looking to trim a bit off that though. BTW, this is a walk behind Honda (you can ride it but it's hard).
