Go ahead... I can take it
 

Hello my name is Aaron and I am originally from New Zealand but now live in Vancouver BC.
Now to the car...
I'm sure I will be the target of some jokes because of the lack of muscle in my car but here she is

1986 Toyota corolla I got with only 96000kms. It came originally with a single cam engine and auto transmission but I put in the 1600cc twin cam and 5speed.
I rebuilt the engine with forged pistons, big camshafts and titanium valvetrain and individual throttle bodies. Now she revs to more than 9000rpm and sounds great! It is to be a track day/ sometimes street car. I joined this forum to learn and maybe get some advice on suspension setup. Most people with Toyota's just go as low as they can and throw parts on their car without a lot of theory or testing and I want to drive circles around them!

Welcome to the Club....From another Aaron just across the stream from you in Delta.

More power to ya buddy. Any thrash vids?

A New Zealander in Canada driving a Japanese cars on a American website...i love it already...hey is that car one of those "cool" carolla's that's rwd or AWD?

It actually runs, that puts you at the front of the class around here. :sarcasm_smiley:

It's all about having fun. Welcome to LG!

Dude don't tell him that, next thing you know he'll be ordering a set of high end jack stands thinking its the norm.

I was just thinking, that I needed to get a set of those.... lol

great little cars! I had an AE86 and it was a fun little hoopty...I gave it to my son...he drifted it for a while.....welcome

Thanks everyone. It does run and drive! No videos yet, still working through my list before I can take it to the track. Hopefully Mission raceway on April 6th.
Still have to fix no brake vacuum due to camshaft duration, a few oil leaks, assemble rear end with LSD and 5.1 final drive, roll fenders, buy and mount seat and steering wheel and setup suspension.
Going to be busy...
FlameBroiled do you ever go to mission or the ridge?
