Hey everyone,
So it appears I've been a member since 2010, I must've signed up and never done any more haha. My mates have all had Corolla's (more then what I can count of two hands), and after selling my ridiculous idea of a street car S13, I spent some dosh on other bits n bobs and found myself a 'daily'. Cheap, reliable, functionable. She's a 1984 AE71 Wagon. Manual, 270,000 km's. Noticed it had bigger rear drums and a filler/drain plug in the diff, and the driveshaft appears to be welded/customized, which my mates reckon means its from an ADM AE86 ('F' series?).
The inspiration for my wagon:
(There's many more sedans, and one pano, haha)
And mine:
When I got it, as filthy as it was!
Cleaning/servicing. The advantage of being a student and living at home; you have access to your Dads wide selection of tools!
Had a overrated dash so I ditched the mat.
Bought some 15x7 +/-0 SSR's, put some RE001's on (oh, man, for a stock corolla, it handles amazing with those tires!). They're the same wheels (the actual ones) on the first yellow wagon above.
Had a little tune, played with timing and throttle screw, got it running nicely., but for now I'm reading up on a 4age conversion.
Thanks for reading!
Tom.
