Post by DanWA »

Details:
KE10 Corolla
265 Hemi from charger
locked sigma diff (yes it handles the beef!)
radiator relocated to boot with 2 thermos and dash switch

Future Plans:
After i've hurted the f*#k through it at Motorvation 06... i'll be doing some suspension work and attacking the 1/4 mile... 13" slicks courteous of MADGEM4LTR...
also..
Tweek cooling system... dunno what im gonna do there.. ideas anyone?
Suspension work to front
Couple extra leaf springs for rear (scrubs with 14's on doing nuts)
New bonnet with a better looking scoop
New boot lid with a smarter venting system for radiator
Hi-stall
Shortened VLT Diff with high gears
then maybe some engine work :P hahaha

good job, that would be fun to fang around the streets in, wish it were legal, looks like a big effort to get it in though, but nice, heaps of torque in a little car like that would be fun!

I like it.
