Ke70 Drift/skid Project

Recommended Posts

Hi.

 

This is my 1982 Toyota Corolla ke70. I have had it for almost one year or so now, and i'm thinking about getting some more power out of it.

 

I have not made some super plans for it quite yet, but hopefully I it is ready for "Gatebil Våler" 2015. "Gatebil" is a trackday/track event in Norway (where I come from)

Here is a pic of how the car looks like today, it is preshly painted in it's orginal colour. It also have some lowering springs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

So this weekend I started with the raer axle. I got a Volvo 240 axle for free from a buddy of mine, and it fits quite perfect. It is alot of work, but i think it is worth it, because i'm planning to have 250-300 ish hp.

It's a rusty axle, but it only got ca.150.000km on it, so i'm realy happy.

Almost finished, only need to make mounts for the coilovers and the panhard rod. I think i need to make the panhard rod adjustable, and i need to see if i need to make the lower arms adjustable aswell.

greetings from sweden :) looking good! what kind of engine are you planning on using?

where in norway do you live? are you coming to gatebil mantorp aswell?

 

takk og hej!

//Dennis

 

Thanks :D

I'm planning on using a b230fk engine from a volvo 940, because it is the cheapest way to get around 250-300hp. And in the end i'm a volvo guy haha :D

 

I live in the western Norway, not far away from Bergen, so mantorp is quite a long drive for me... so it's not the plan this year.. But i'm planning on Gatebil Rudskogen in July :D

 

Takk og hei haha :P

So today I bought me a donor car:

 

post-21775-0-13650700-1421957462_thumb.jpg

 

It is a Volvo 940 Turbo, 4 cylinders turbo with ca 140hk.

It has some mods done to it, bigger intercooler, blowoff valve and some other small things. To start with i'm hoping to get around 250-300 hp.

I'm really looking forward to start this project at it's full.

I started with taking out all the interior. I'm amazed over all the junk that was under the seats haha #coronaftw

This is the only rust i could find. And i think that is pretty good for a car that is 32 years old! But it only has 54.000km on it, so i'm guessing it has had i chill life :P

Hi. :D

So things did not plan out as i had hoped it would.. And the project kinda came in in the second line.

But i have moved in to a new garage, and things are starting to happen! :D
