January 25, 201115 yr comment_498229 Me and my mate bought a AE92 with 4agze from Canberra. We touched up the paint Took the interior out bolted in some coil overs Went for some new rotors and took it to Wakefield 2 weeks later. Next we had a cage built and welded in bought a new cobra seat and a sports steering wheel Put on a full set of mags and took it Winton This is how it looks bogged at Winton (my son not used to no ABS) Still a few more things to tidy up on it but its coming along well and it sits at home next to our AE82.

January 26, 201115 yr comment_498391 2 very nice looking corolla's mate, any other suspension mods on the AE92? Report
January 26, 201115 yr Author comment_498422 whiteline rear sway bar, neoprene bushes on front bar, got all the camber we can get on it. The cage made a big difference to how it handled too. Report
January 26, 201115 yr comment_498431 Nice going mate. I'm currently rebuilding my AE82. May turn it into a bit of a track car... This is a nice bit of inspiration! Report
January 26, 201115 yr Author comment_498441 Our AE82 is a tidy little unit too and was professionally built in Brisvagas by KCF Rallysport. We have since rebuilt the motor with some high lift Wade camshafts. Report
January 26, 201115 yr comment_498499 Love the story line of the AE92/3. And as usual, love the 82. Report
January 27, 201115 yr comment_498798 it's good to see some dedicated race cars like this. Keep up the good work Report
January 27, 201115 yr comment_498803 After my history with AE82's, its soooo great to see you guys with such an awesome lil car. You have done the stuff i didnt get to do :( Report
January 28, 201115 yr Author comment_498850 Just got back from Winton. The engine ran well but we had severe brake fade the entire day from the 2nd corner. The brand new pads were down to the metal on the 5th run. We struggle to keep pads up to it and think its the rotors tearing the pads to bits. 1st set we had at Wakefield were hand made ones with same material they use in a local blokes V8 Brute Ute. The pedal was ok but they lasted about 50km. Ronkey said he too had similar exp with the same brand rotors on one of his cars. The syncro's being buggered made going back to 2nd very slow as the double clutch heel and toe had to be so so slow to avoid mashing the gears. So we drove the whole track in 3rd gear...lucky its got a lotta torgue. Next for us is put the standard rotors back on, try another brand of race pads and head to sdma hillclimb in May. We'll have the 82 out doing the local khanacross/motorkhana stuff in the meantime. I took some vids and once I get them off the camera I'll post them to youtube. Report
January 28, 201115 yr comment_498872 love both the cars mate. looking forward to seeing some of those videos you mentioned. Report
January 28, 201115 yr Author comment_498979 Got the vids working and have started posting them to youtube. Sorry but no sound so I'll get that fixed for the next event. Bit boring with no sound but you can see how hard it pulls driving the whole track in 3rd gear. Look at the 2.22min mark as Pete has an exciting moment going round the sweeper. Report
March 5, 201115 yr Author comment_507745 today we gave the front end a touch up as the paint was a little 2nd hand. Doesnt look to bad straight off the gun Report
March 5, 201115 yr comment_507778 Cars look like great fun, always wondered how these cars would handle a track; they look great and from the video's handle and go just as well. Report
March 12, 201115 yr Author comment_509450 today we fitted EBC rotors and EBC yellow pads and SAAS pedal kit. Report
