Great build! I'm also planning on boosting :rocknroll: :rocknroll: :rocknroll:

Awesome work so far! keep it coming :rocknroll:

Thanks zeph_KE70 :)

Thanks Aspheric, if you have any questions about the rack and pinion, let me know. Turbo 4age is rad too. Once both of my corollas are running, one of them will be getting boosted :rock: :rock: :rock:

Hi Guys, My TE21/KE20:

Thank you, thats good to hear.

Thanks B.L.Z. BUB I like the guys on 3tc and I'm still a member there but I get the sense that my F20C swapped corollas aren't as embraced on a site mainly dedicated to the 3TC platform. Since this site is platformed more for the oldschool corolla, I figured I should move my build thread here as it seems a bit more appropriate (although I could be wrong, it wouldn't be the first time) lol.

ok, so that's where we stand today. Hope to have the yellow one running this year.

front fitment with the Stock AE86 LCA's: Now with the Camber Plates pulled in and the T3 LCA Mod:

I got distracted by the brown peanut again because I picked up some wheels in LA. Since my ae86 axle is narrowed and my front end wasn't I needed to fix it so that I could run the wheels without the rears tucking and the fronts poking really bad. bought a better welder and practiced some: pressed out the ball joints, cut, measured and burned the block in. Most people using this T3 kit want longer control arms, since I'm using AE86 suspension on my TE21 I actually needed mine shortened. I had a friend of mine burn the bottom plate on (since I wanted it professionally strong) and I shaped it a little. The one on the right is shaped: Primed and painted. (next set I do for my other corolla will get powdercoated forsure. Pressed the balljoint back in and had a friend a Jiffy Lube fill them with grease. Put them on on the weekend:

Sorry I haven't updated in a while: I reinforced the rail where the new trans mount bolts. It's all welded up now and I rattle canned it for now. Eventually, the whole car will be disassembled for paint. Modded the Bride rails for my Corolla: Installed it the the daily while my project is still being built: Pedal box and modded push rod are in: Brake Master in: Test fit some Volks but I haven't pulled the trigger yet. I'm still shopping around:

After much consideration, I decided to go back to my first draft of the transmission mount. I tried to combine the s2000 mount and the TE21 mount but it didn't line up perfectly so I just built the TE21 mount.

I'll be refocusing on finishing the first project I started. I'm combining the starlet steering column with the TE21 column since I'm converting to Rack and Pinion. The Rack is aw11 I finally have the AE86 crossmember modified and reinforced painted and ready to go. The cutout isn't pretty but I needed the clearance for the oil pan. I also moved one of the steering rack mounts approx 1 1/8th inch out for clearance. Everything on this build is pretty tight so every bit counts especially I'm wanting to keep my ride height pretty low.

Hi guys! sorry that I haven't posted updates in a while. the new peanut has been distracting me from my build and making it hard to focus lol. Now I'm daily driving the new peanut (F20c swap complete) Here's some pics from Funny Night in San Jose recently: Even though I run a F20c, this was a "V-tec" meet and I wasn't sure how the Corolla would be received. I was happy to hear how many people liked the car/build. :D :D :D

Found a pic to keep myself motivated. This is a tough project... :o Hi Guys, I haven't updated in a while because I ended up buying my friends Peanut with the F20c swap already in it. I've buttoned up a few things on the new peanut so that I can daily drive it so I can now turn my attention back to finishing my build. I have the Crossmember reinforced now and am planning to drop the motor back in. Once it's in, I'll need: 1) finish the transmission mount 2) driveshaft 3) brakelines 4) coolant lines and pick a radiator 5) wiring The crossmember clearance is tight so this isn't the prettiest but it's strong and should to the trick.
