my new car: 1986 Toyota Corolla

Post by **Vinny** » Sun May 27, 2007 7:04 pm

11.8:1 CR
Weber 45 DCOE carbs
9k rpm redline
~175whp
<2000lbs

One of the rowdiest cars I have ever driven, an absolute riot.

Very clean and straight FL/NC body and interior, never wrecked, never rust.

I take it you're pretty satisfied with it then? lol

Any plans for it other than taking off the decals or whats left to take off?

Yeah it's pretty badass.

There's a bunch of things I am getting for/doing to it.

- Pipercross filter socks for Weber 45 (already here - baller)
- roll bar padding
- cleaning up some wiring
- figuring out a different electric fan thermostat
- AutoMeter warning lights for coolant temp and oil press.
- installing my AEM UEGO wideband
- installing a matching Corbeau Forza passenger seat
- adding rear speakers and reinstalling package tray
- Short shift/bushings
- possible rear firewall
- 4-pt harness, mount to roll cage (currently TRD 3-pt to package shelf)
- Techno Toy Tuning panhard bar
- fix e-brake (have complete good assembly)
- different lug nuts
- quality car cover
- MSD programmable timing control
- good tune by someone who knows Weber carbs

Yeah it's rowdy.

Hopefully this weekend I'll be able to start doing some of things I feel it needs, aside from last weekend I've been holding off on driving it until then.
