    post-17369-0-55397700-1424326053_thumb.jpg Ohh by the way, ive got no idea how to post the vids so hit up clevo to do it guys, he could use a tune up lol.........

  2. Bit happening lately, did our best to fix what we suspected was yet another rear main seal, cause after 30 mins tuning time if you rev it above 8 grand its seems to lose oil from between the sandwich plate and bellhousing? However the flywheel, pressure plate and clutch is completely dry , leading us to beleive it was the aftermarket sump gasket i installed whilst building the engine, basically weve siliconed up everything reasonably possible and retourqued the sump bolts another 3lbs or so in the vague hope it fixes the bleeding, lets see how we go time to put it back together, also fitted new throwout bearing and spigot .....

  3. Corollas are definitely basic, and are pretty much as simple as cars go. However this comment reflects the cars function also, as its slow, very little luxury, small and underpowered for highway driving. But its got a 5 speed manual so you might get away with it, its definitely clean for a 1000 dollar car and incredibly fuel economic not to mention its a bullet proof, incredibly reliable engines

     

    Celicas are fantastic sports cars and are pretty advanced for the mid 80's, making them comfortable to drive daily. Since its the more advanced car it will not be as simple as the corolla but its still pretty primitive compared to newer cars. The suspension on this car is also far superior to the corolla because it doesn't go barbaric medieval with its leaf springs and joins the civillised world with coils. With the car you're looking at all the hardwork has been done such as body work and (I'm assuming) engine leaving yourself free to enjoy modding

     

    On that, both have a strong modding community, but the celica is the better platform to work on. There isn't much you can do to beef up a 4k. They're both easy to work on , especially in comparison to a turbo liberty (DOHC, Boxer engine [2 heads, 2 sets of everything], fuel injection, turbo etc)

     

    They're very good platforms to learn about cars, i did the same thing when i sold my 91 Liberty for a Corolla but if it were up to me i would've went for the Celica

    can't BEEF UP A 4K??????

  4. Thanks stu and tommy! Your comments to everybody on here are always good motorvation, as far as COTY I'm not sure as the car hasnt been raced yet however its veeeeery close to finished, I think id have my work cut out with things like STEERFAST and RALLYROLLA being driven and raced already. However got more boxes ticked off recently, car now has a tailshaft, four speed and an ANDRA approved tailshaft loop, just waiting on front brakes and strut modifications and its drivetime, If anybodys interested the car is being entered in the LARDNER PARK MOTORFEST in march for some skid action, well be running in the PRO CLASS due to the NOS but were not shy on taking the little bitch out on the pad and smashing a few eardrums and no doubt many bits lol stay tuned vids will be coming, cheers rod.....
