If your after one, I'll talk to some people and see what I can find for you, are you after the GP Turbo? or Corolla II/Corsa n/a with plans on modifying????
-
My project car is a JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) 1987 Toyota Corolla II GP Turbo (Grey Import) I bought the car in bad shape for a decent price, so I spent thousands refreshing the car and bringing it back to its original standard. Once Finished I decided on a 4EFTE transplant from an early Starlet GT Turbo. The conversion was dodgy and to cut a long story short, I was ripped off leaving me with a car with more problems then when I originally bought it, and the problems from the dodgy engine transplant ultimately lead to the car faulting and being taking off the road. Slowly I have been repairing the car and finding things which need attention. The plan now is to get the engine going using the Starlet ECU (1.3ltr 16v DOHC 4CYL Turbo) and not the 3E ECU (1.5ltr 12v SOHC 4CYL Turbo). MASSIVE THANKS TO: Nick, Justin, Teddy and whole RollaClub team for helping me out when I get a in pickle :y: Attached are some photos of what I'm aiming to archive: - Highly worked 4EFTE producing 348HP @ the wheels - TRD Coilovers - TOMs Bucket seats :P theres a lot more.... but yeh you get the idea :P

Ahhh good ol car park war stories... My brand new astra within 4 days of ownership it was dinted at southbank, I did do the wrong thing and smash my door into it as pay back.. made me feel better.. ....actually I still feel good about it :) I've had cars hit the side of my car with the passenger side mirrors whilst trying to over take me on a curb; and no I wasn't driving as grandpa as usual, this was waiting at the lights! However Karma got me when I reversed my car and hit my drivers mirror on a pillon at a shopping centre. I hope Karma gets the bitch who hit my car in a mad dash trying to get through traffic...

Hey guys n girls, Not sure if any of you recevied the following, I'm pondering if anyone is going to be a rep for RollaClub. Prices: Driver: $955.00 Driver and 1 non-driver $1450.00 All you is a race helmet of CAMS approval (I reakon bring clothing too as nude drivers are very distracting, specially of the oposite sex.) _________________________________________________________________ Sit Down! Buckle up! And Hold On as we bring back ‘The Biff' between car enthusiasts. Get ready to rev your engines for the greatest Grudge Match that Queensland and New South Wales has ever seen! No other place in Australia will be going off like Kempsey, Coffs Harbour and Armidale this Queens Birthday Long Weekend and we want YOU there! The event will be run by Safe Drive Training (Aust) Pty Ltd in a social, but competitive atmosphere with the participants given the opportunity to meet other like-minded car enthusiasts, share stories and sample great food in a beautiful part of Australia. The itinerary is packed full of competitive driving challenges….. acceleration runs, motorkhanas, go-to-whoa, hillclimbs, lap-dashes, autocross, head-to-head challenges and team events.

The tension will be at a climax with Game 2 just around the corner. Which state will reign supreme? _________________________________________________________________

spill the beans, what are you trying to crash now? :y:
-
those camshafts look like turbos :y:
-
To bad about your rolla, on the bright side it looks like many of the KE70's on here :y:
-
And maybe an orb might follow you home and find comfort in your own home
-
nice choice, My mum use to have one of them, its now my sisters, and looks identical to yours, except hers is a 5sp manual. I nearly killed myself in it many of a time (over 220 it gets a little light through the bends :y: ). Here's some pics off my comp. P.S: You can fit the supercharged miller cycle engine from the 800 ;)
-
Sweet, I planning to take the rolla along, instead of using a plug I'm going to get some female wire links (i just made that up to descibe em) and slide them directly onto the ECU pins and secure the wires somehow... so take your time lol

Any news? / goss? / thoughts? I'm starting to get restless ...

Farewell Travis / Poo Racer Gold Coast Cruise
TOMsGPTurbo replied to Medicine_Man's topic in QLD / Brisbane
I was fishing ...well sorta, I wet a line from the comfort of my car at the spit on sunday, what seemed to be a cruise was shut down by cops in no less then 10mins. The cops set up a bike on the side of the road, just incase anyone decided to do a U-bolt and every remotely looking modified / sports / car with mags was pulled over for some defection time. If you wanna have a meet up, have a bbq in the mountains, cruise through the hinterland, meet up a remote beach lol ... stay away from any spots which 'hoons' may go to and phack your plans up. -

Could be a number of reasons, I would bring it down to weight and wheel/clutch spin. Turbo size is good but maybe need to run a bit more boost then 12psi. I think a nice cold night, 98ron fuel with tunning FCD + 15psi that should crack a mid 13

On the way to work yesterday, a driver which was tail gating me on the M1 and through traffic decided to drive onto an island and then struck their side mirror against my car, so I'm going to find out where this driver works and karma shall come into action. (Ben, is that gun illegal to buy in oz? The one in my picture is a remington 700ltr .223, you can pick one up for around a grand)

A question for the elite toyota tech heads, Does the Australian delievered starlet share the same ECU plugs as a EP82 import? Kind regards Tom. P.S: On the left is the engine loom socket and on the right is the dash loom socket.

I have the same problem on my starlet gt powered corolla ii gp turbo, I believe its a tuning problem with the air/fuel ratio's. I assume your running a 4age? have you played with the air/fuel ration screw on the trottle body? my car did this and I thought it could of been water in the fuel tank so I did the old metho trick, but still the same result, check your ignition leads see if any of them could be arking or even the condition of your dizzy. I still haven't worked out my cars problems as its off the road and hasn't been driven for a really long time. possible problems: fuel lines ignition air/fuel delivery injectors (I tried injector cleaner but to no success) clutch shattered/cracked (maybe?) damaged ecu
