Calling all FLTA / GATA car enthusiasists!
As you all are aware of, a few weeks ago I got into a car wreck and my old '98 Civic was totaled.
I now have my '99 Corolla, and since this one was paid in cash, i don't have payments, so i can hook it up. 
I'm asking for anyone that knows about hooking up cars, if you know where to get good, cheap parts (online or off), to let me know, make suggestions. What should I get, you get the idea.
I wanna get neon lights for it but what color goes well with Burgundy?
It's a 4-door 3 speed automatic but still has some racing potential.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
check out your local junk yard for spare/cheap parts 
god how i wish i didnt have to make car payments...how great would that be.... (keeps on dreaming)

Don't spend time "hooking up," a corolla. Instead either save the money that you would dump into it, and put it away towards a car that you see as worthwhile. You'll never get the kind of money back out of it when you sell it, so the majority of its a waste, it's virtually impossible to do something that hasn't been done 1k times over, and you won't make that car anywhere even relatively quick without a stupid amount of money. If you want to put in it a respectable stero for your own enjoyment thats cool, but don't go overboard.

hmmm, not to detour from the topic at hand but I have a little experience with cars. This is my Prelude that I sold last year. 
If you have any specific questions let me know and if I can help I will be more than happy to.
Take care...

Ummmm my first question is, WHY would you sell such a hot car like that? That thing looks sweet, and judging by the parts you named, musta been like a dream machine!
dayyyyum jonathan, that prelude must have been fast as hell!!! what did it dyno at?? 1/4 mile time???
i have a twin turbo 300zx myself... nothing that crazy, but it's a quick little ride

I would not go crazy on performance mods. However I do recommend good CD/MP3 player. I've got meself Pioneer DEH-9600 http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/p...891896,00.html, plus some 6"x9" 240W 3-way speakers. I was thinking about an amp, but it's plenty loud right now. And it's kewl not having to worry about silly CD changers. Just smack one in there with 5-6h of music on it and you are set.
Well I'll get some shameless pics of mine in too then and the roomates. 
Mine
Mine with Roomates
His car alone
My old car
And my car prior to that
my god that's "I just creamed my pants good"

...DA take the advice of Jew..Save the money you would put into "fixing up" your current car into something nicer in the long run.
