Hey People, Picked up my new daily yesterday.
1992 Corolla GTI Hatch with standard 100kw Redtop 4AGE.
Car was sitting under a tree near my old folks place for nearly 3 months. Car originally was my best mates first car nearly 8 years ago or so. Any way he sold it to his friends brother who recently stopped driving it so I approached him for the buy.
The car had some massive oil leaks so I was taking a bit of a gamble but i got it for peanuts cos he needed it gone as he is leaving Perth next week.
It was also a bit rough cos it has never been garaged. Very little rust but the paint isnt the best.
Anyhoo I got it home as quickly as possible and put it on the ramps. Oil leak was coming from the oil cooler hose so I replaced it with a new one. The oil filter was also leaking alot so I took it off to find the seal was as hard as steel!!!!, Replaced the oil filter and seal and no more leaks!!!!! Runs like a dream!!! All it needs now is a decent service and a good detail as she is filthy.
