As said, parking sensors are dead easy to retrofit. I fitted cheap eBay kits to a couple of my previous cars with no issues.

This. I fitted £13 eBay ones to mine. Colour match was great and they were brilliant.

It does look like a good example.

Take that DET3 and put it in the bin where it belongs though

What's wrong with them? People in Toyota circles seem to like them. You can do quite a bit of stuff with them and they aren't cheap cheap either.

part of me wants this one to be a good car, and a part of me wants it to be another lemon.

Piggybacks belongs in the past

It will do the job it I ever want to have it tweaked a bit for stage 2 cams etc, but if I ever do anything drastic I'll probably get a Power FC.

Or just drive it and enjoy it as-is and don't **** it up, becasue it's a daily after all.

Kind Regards,

Hmm another car from someone on the 'scene'?

Why did he have three of them?

Thought the same with having 3 but some people buy to break or make one good car from the bits from the others.

Looks good in the pic. Bring it to pod in sept so we can race plz.

He isn't on the "scene" in the way you are imagining. He has a fully forged turbo'd track car build, and a parts car. This used to be his daily driver but he now has a 2017 Tiguan as a company car.

Uncle_Gravy · 28 Jul 2017 at 13:18

I'll be the one to ask, Why have you bought it?

Akagi · 28 Jul 2017 at 13:30

Why did you buy your car?

Because I need a more modern car for daily duties, the E30 isn't ideal for being used every day for commuting and whatnot, especially as it needs work doing to it which I can't do if I use it every day.

The T-Sports are quick, comfortable, well equipped, and cheap. And I've had one before so I know I like them. Seemed logical!

acme logical i lol'd

Akagi · 28 Jul 2017 at 13:37

Well its more logical than blind-purchasing a 12 previous owner, 25 year old modified Eunos with scene kid wheels which has been slammed into the floor and has a few weeks MOT left, and then expecting it to end well.

Captain · 28 Jul 2017 at 13:50

Looks good to me.

Invertigo · 28 Jul 2017 at 14:26

I'm concerned. Acme seems to have made a reasonably sensible purchase? Is this the rapture?

On a serious note, it does look decent! History seems good and hopefully it's a good runner for you!

You haven't sold (scrap) the Eunos?

He broke it for parts and has sold the vast majority of them, made back about £2k iirc.

Uncle_Gravy · 28 Jul 2017 at 14:39

Nice!

I haven't been paying attention, Good buy on the Corolla, would say probably leave it alone and enjoy a reliable daily and put the cash to making that E30 the best it can be.
