Rob 5000 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) Me and my mate bought a AE92 with 4agze from Canberra. We touched up the paint Took the interior out bolted in some coil overs Went for some new rotors and took it to Wakefield 2 weeks later. Next we had a cage built and welded in bought a new cobra seat and a sports steering wheel Put on a full set of mags and took it Winton This is how it looks bogged at Winton (my son not used to no ABS) Still a few more things to tidy up on it but its coming along well and it sits at home next to our AE82.

ae824ate Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 2 very nice looking corolla's mate, any other suspension mods on the AE92? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob 5000 Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 whiteline rear sway bar, neoprene bushes on front bar, got all the camber we can get on it. The cage made a big difference to how it handled too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AE82stew Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Nice going mate. I'm currently rebuilding my AE82. May turn it into a bit of a track car... This is a nice bit of inspiration! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob 5000 Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Our AE82 is a tidy little unit too and was professionally built in Brisvagas by KCF Rallysport. We have since rebuilt the motor with some high lift Wade camshafts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Love the story line of the AE92/3. And as usual, love the 82. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob 5000 Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Just got back from Winton. The engine ran well but we had severe brake fade the entire day from the 2nd corner. The brand new pads were down to the metal on the 5th run. We struggle to keep pads up to it and think its the rotors tearing the pads to bits. 1st set we had at Wakefield were hand made ones with same material they use in a local blokes V8 Brute Ute. The pedal was ok but they lasted about 50km. Ronkey said he too had similar exp with the same brand rotors on one of his cars. The syncro's being buggered made going back to 2nd very slow as the double clutch heel and toe had to be so so slow to avoid mashing the gears. So we drove the whole track in 3rd gear...lucky its got a lotta torgue. Next for us is put the standard rotors back on, try another brand of race pads and head to sdma hillclimb in May. We'll have the 82 out doing the local khanacross/motorkhana stuff in the meantime. I took some vids and once I get them off the camera I'll post them to youtube.

ke70dave Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 love both the cars mate. looking forward to seeing some of those videos you mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob 5000 Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Got the vids working and have started posting them to youtube. Sorry but no sound so I'll get that fixed for the next event. Bit boring with no sound but you can see how hard it pulls driving the whole track in 3rd gear. Look at the 2.22min mark as Pete has an exciting moment going round the sweeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob 5000 Posted March 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 today we gave the front end a touch up as the paint was a little 2nd hand. Doesnt look to bad straight off the gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowie55 Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Cars look like great fun, always wondered how these cars would handle a track; they look great and from the video's handle and go just as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob 5000 Posted March 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 today we fitted EBC rotors and EBC yellow pads and SAAS pedal kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
