First proper play time. Still a few small bugs to iron out.

 

Only bug I see is, not enough opposite lock. Haha. Congrats Craig good to see it on the dirt.

Thanks Justin and Stuart.

Your right about the opposite lock. The rolla is 150kgs lighter than the old Celica and has a lot more grip.

I found it hard to get my head around how late I need to brake now and how fast I can lean on it in the corners.

Your body gets used to the G forces in a car and learns how much before it starts to slide.

I need some more seat time to find the limits of this thing.

My nav, Stringy, just sent a few more photos from the last event.

That looks just great mate. You did an awesome job!!

I feel a small bit of hatred for you, I want it, so jelous haha

Damm they're big wheels! Got a real grip on the ground.

Ah stringfellow was your navi hey. Ive known stringy for years.

 

I saw a video on his facebook where this car made a brief appearance, sounded quite excellent.

Video link? :)

 

Thing looks awesome, nice work! You must be pretty happy :)

Do we get to see some footage Craig?

Stringy did put a short 10sec clip on facebook. Just don't know how to get it on here.

I have some in car footage, but its slow as the balancer adjuster for the throttle bodys vibrated loose.

The engine was loosing power and running rough. By the time we found the problem, the rally was all but over.

Oh that's no good

Off to Glen Innes tomorrow?? First time a rally has been run on those roads for years, and it looks fast and smooth.

Doesnt look like many Queenslanders finished the event.

This car is now for sale.

Check out the add in the Toyotas for sale section.

Little Corolla is still going strong with a lot of upgrades since it was built. Getting ready for the 2022 rally year.
