Hi.
This is my 1982 Toyota Corolla ke70. I have had it for almost one year or so now, and i'm thinking about getting some more power out of it.
I have not made some super plans for it quite yet, but hopefully I it is ready for "Gatebil VĂ¥ler" 2015. "Gatebil" is a trackday/track event in Norway (where I come from)
Here is a pic of how the car looks like today, it is preshly painted in it's orginal colour. It also have some lowering springs.
So this weekend I started with the raer axle. I got a Volvo 240 axle for free from a buddy of mine, and it fits quite perfect. It is alot of work, but i think it is worth it, because i'm planning to have 250-300 ish hp.
It's a rusty axle, but it only got ca.150.000km on it, so i'm realy happy.
Looks ok inside! i don'y know yet if i should weld it or buy a locker diff, I work as a mechanic apprentice, so i'm not swimming in money by the time...
Washing and cleaning
Cutting of the orginal mounts on the volvo axle
Finish and "clean"ish
Taking of the orginal corolla axle
Measuring and cutting
Welding
Starting to look like somethig
Almost finished, only need to make mounts for the coilovers and the panhard rod. I think i need to make the panhard rod adjustable, and i need to see if i need to make the lower arms adjustable aswell.
Test fitting som different volvo steel wheels to see which of them i should widen.
How the car hopefullt will look like when it is finnished, just needs more low!!
