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) Uploaded with ImageShack.us How it looks now Uploaded with ImageShack.us And at the TCCAV meet: 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
