I think in the first instance I would contact CAMS

 

http://www.cams.com.au/Sport/Historics/Historic_Contacts.aspx

 

They would presumably be able to let you know about actual eligibility and any traps to be conscious of. I imagine the problem with Toyota is that they wouldn't necessarily have had an official link with cars that may have competed, and they may have not record of privateer cars that competed.

I don't believe any T-engined Corollas were sold here before the TE72. You can get KE25s though....

What was sold here had nothing to do with what was raced here back then.

 

There actually was a model called a TE25, but I'm not sure of the differences between that and a TE27

2t ,no flares & probably different diff in the te25 I'm guessing ?

thanks for your help fellas will check it out

Off topic here but dear God, that white car pictured above is just amazing.

I have the cams homologation papers for my TE20.

but they also cover the TE25 models up to 1972

 

Edit: Apologies my papers only cover the sprinter model not the corolla te27 Levin twin cam model

I'll swap you a copy of yours, for a copy of the AE86 papers!

I race a ke20 in Nc here in Qld. I'm also the treasurer of the HRCC group n commitee. I researched long and hard to try and get a te20, te25 or te27 eligible for group n with no luck. Group n is the historic production touring car hacing, so to be eligible the car had to be raced in aus as a 3j production car prior to 1972.

 

I spoke with cams, the qld eligibility officer at the time, and Bruce Richards, if you can find proof it raced as a production car in aus prior to 72, your all good. I couldn't find any in aus.

 

Good luck.

history

Ooohhhh!!!

crostek, is it possible to download a copy of your papers it would be great if you could.

cheers mick

ranko-87 is it possible to get a bit of a run down on your build thanks.

history

 

Does that actually give history in aus? I can't read it in the pic. It has to have raced as a 3j not a sports sedan or the like? Homologation papers arent enought to get it into group n, even if they are dated prior to 72. All comes down to race history. I tried that.

 

Mick - i wrote the spec sheet which is now available on the cams website. Mine is pretty tame, big cam, lot of headwork, and a bit of mucking around with suspension. It is gutless in comparison to the escorts and 1600 datos i compete with, but out handles all of them
