A good friend of mine, Chris Scott suggested I start a build thread on a new rally car project Ive just started.

I picked up a 2 door ke30 from a wrecker on Monday and have It already striped for some rust repairs,seam welding and roll cage.

a new rally car project Ive just started

Suggest there was "an old rally car project" before... what was that one? Another Corolla?

 

At least you have started this the right way. Its hopeless trying to build a rally car without stripping it out completely and putting back only what you want.

Looks great mate :D they are the best body ;)

 

What plans u got for it besides cage and that??? What engine u going to run?

 

 

See ya

If this is steerfast that is now in Toowoomba, I believe he had a few older RWD Celicas? If its the same bloke.

My last project which is under the blue car cover was a TA64 Group B Celica Replica.

Ill be competing in that car along side Tony and Chris Scott in this years Australian 2WD Rally Master Series and the WRC at Coffs.

I did start to build another Celica, But have been converted to Corollas, mainly by the TRD KE70.

That is so gorgeous!!

 

We will catch up on a rally somewhere where the Celicas gather!

I want that Celica.

 

That is all :)

Hi Jimi, Engine will be a 2.4lt 2rz from a Hiace van with a 3rz hilux head.

Gearbox is a 6 speed tremec and suspension is from my spare ra65 celica with irs.

The track will be approx 160mm wider than standard so it will need flares.

Oh god, i've created a monster. :jamie:

Should be a good season with the Corolla and the Celica competing.

Keith, Bago is the firsy event that we'll be at, hopefully we can catch up.

What sort of class you aiming for? The 2RZ I can work out, but not the IRS

love that celica. don't give me any ideas what to do with my Ke30 coupe now!

 

love to see what cage you put in. I was only going to throw a beams into mine... You have gone off the hook!

Here's Craig's Celica build for anyone whos interested.

Iam amazed at the new aftermarket parts you can get for these old Corollas.

The new guards and bonnet turned up today, as well as the Tilton pedal box.

Iam building the car to run in AMSAG and the 2wd rallymaster series.

Not really building to any class regs. As long as the engine has the same number of cylinders and same make, everything else is free for the rallymaster.

more or less.

The car is being built to win events outright.

Ah AMSAG, if only we had that concept here :)

 

Good luck with the build, I'll be watching with interest :)
