Not sure if its ugly or pretty... but i still want one :)

Really neat little corolla you have. Nice and clean, and all the little touches finish it off well :)

Add some sway bars and monitor your tyre pressure = good 2 secs off methinks

Tyre pressures make an amazing difference! Dropped my tyres down another 5 psi and i got an extra half a second :)

Just be careful with going stiffer in the suspension, build your suspension around the tyres you're gonna track your car on.

Aside from the fact that he is possibly the worst racing driver i have ever seen, racing is a totally different beast to just tracking your car, rubbin' is racin'... but this guy shouldnt be out there, he is hopeless!! go back to playing video games!

Ripping the head off and assessing the damage...

Hey guys,

I drive a Toyota AE82 Corolla Twin Cam Series 1, with original mismatching interior bits, stiff suspension and 86kw of 4AGE fury!! lol


The plan with this car is to have a nice reliable cheap daily P-plater car that will allow me to have a bit of fun at the track.
The previous owner had the engine and gearbox reco'd and did one track day with it, so it is (should say was now ) pretty fresh and runs smoothly. It was meant to be a rally car so I like to believe I saved it from being tortured to death on gravel

Mods so far:
- Custom CAI
- Fake Bride seats with custom rails
- AE100 STD Coilovers, modified to fit by Manon Racing Products (MRP)
- Front slotted larger rotors (that were fitted the wrong way by previous owner lol)
- 15x7 949racing 6UL
- Kumho KU36 205/50/15

How it looked when the previous owner bought it (dont have a photo of when i did. looked the same though)

Car still needs alot of work to get it to be how i want it to, but that all takes time.


Oh and today's trackday?


So today I woke up at 5AM and drove up to winton for the winton tampered track day, the first proper track day ive attended, and first track day i have attended in this car. Got to scrutineering, acting all noob because i am and asked for directions to everywhere lol

Pics of car:


umadbro?

Prepared the car and went out for my first session aiming for a measly 2:00 lap time.
I went around fairly easily just getting to know the circuit again and the car in these conditions and it was a bit sketchy here and there but not too bad. The session got cut short another car getting stuck in the gravel trap. So i was a bit disappointed about that, and crawled back to the pits to see my time... lo and behold I have a look at the screen and am shocked that i got a 1:51.4!!

So I got all pumped and went out for the next session, making a few adjustments to my shocks beforehand. The car felt much better but still very floaty and understeery. Traffic didnt help in this session, kept on getting held up by other cars, which wasnt very fun Came back with a 1:52.3

The car kept surging because i had no petroleum, so i dashed into town to get some. Got back just in time to lower my tyre pressures and adjust my shocks up before heading out with a passenger this time. Ended up with a 1:52 flat


Session 4: Went out by myself and had a few hotlaps, car was nicely adjusted for the track, only thing holding me up was the tyres, at the beginning. I pushed the car a little bit more and managed a 1:49.5990 PB

Then on my last lap my head gasket blew and i lot pretty much all compression in 2nd and 3rd cylinders GAH!!!
We packed up and limped home, really happy, but kinda sad with the results form the day...

i have some video ill upload of session 2 and sesh 4's BHG shenanigans in the next few days



Thanks for looking
