I've been reading the forum for a while and thought I should start sharing.

I started modding with a 93 Corolla 1.6L 5 speed stick with 136k on it. First was basic driving habits, then syn. transaxle and engine lube, alignment, AC del., mild WAI, header, blocked front bumper, Evans coolant, blocked the rest of the front, pulled the fan relay, opened the front back up a little, and a few other little things and general maintainance along the way. I started around 30 mpg and for most of its life I averaged 42 mpg with a peak tank of 52.

Now, with 450k on it, it's parked for now. I have dreams of swapping a 20 valve 4age and 6 speed into it.
