supra2 Posted March 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Hi Justin. Yep they will be flush, just havent trimmed them yet untill the reo plates are on. I can just hear the scrutineering out cry now if I turned up to a rally like it is. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clapped out Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Certainly looks solid, if you don't mind me saying so! :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra2 Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 don't mind at all. The subframe mounts are right under the roll cage main hoop mounts so should make for a nice stiff shell. Finished the rear quarter repairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

altezzaclub Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 You realise that this much work makes you drive slow! You spend too much time thinking "Arrgh, have to miss that ... hate to bend the suspension..." "SLOWER!! might run off and break something..!!"

supra2 Posted March 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 I know exactly what you mean. Although we havent had an event here for a while because of the weather, I think I would have those issues in the TA64 Celica. The main reason for building the corolla is to go fast again and not be to concerned with the normal " wear and tear" of rally. The sport can be,and is expensive.as you know, So I want this car to be fast, strong and reliable. I consider these long weekends away at events as mini holidays and with the cost of fuel and tyres and travel, nothing is more anoyimg than something breaking in the first 100m. I guess it is a lot of work, but I do enjoy most of it and its so much easier to get the mods done now . Hows the RA40 going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altezzaclub Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 "quiescent"... We are onto it this Sunday as I head up to Qld for a few days, then Steve has Easter on it. Once the front suspension is back on we can worry about ride height and handling, and could do the next rally without doing anything else on it. However, there are ALWAYS more things to do, to plan, to try... Improvements rather than builds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra2 Posted March 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Its never ending. And can be all consuming if you let it, but what a rush when all is going well. Under the car is now all finished. YA Ive laid a single layer of fibreglass over the leading edge of the floor well. It wont stop rocks, but will help reduce the wear from being blasted with dirt and gravel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
