Make: Toyota Corolla

Model: AE71 CSX

Year: 1984

The Story:

I purchased this car approximately 7 months ago as my previous car (s13 silvia) was costing me a crap load of money to keep on the road. It was an unreliable bucket of junk and i had spent approximately 15,000 dollars on the car. It was also a time in my life to purchase a house and invest my money into something useful.

I thoroughly enjoy drifting so i wanted to purchase a car that could be cheap and alot of fun. Hence i puchased an AE71 and sold the s13. The initial purchase price was $1000 with airconditioning from a dealer. It was completely standard and mint.

The next step was modding the beast. I started modding the suspension with the AJPS catalogue and then the mods just kept on growing.

Here are some pics.

Bonnet spacers are cool.

All you need is house paint and a paint roller to make those badges look mint.

I had to hammer the rear right guard to fit the wheel as it had a dodgy repair job which made the guard sit further in than standard. The result from doing the hammer job was two big chunks of bog breaking off. The solution, glue the pieces back onto the guard and paint with touch up paint.

A granny shade can be made into a rear wing with a bit of cut and paste.

No need for rear seats if its only you driving the car!! It is also a good excuse to never be the designated driver or give you mates a lift.

Cheers for the comments, I got the tacho for free from my mate so i put it infront of the other one. The main reason i did this was because it had a shift light. Sorry, no swaps for the dash :rolleyes:

grape_moosha, i remember that day. That was heaps funny. I gave the porshe the finger when he went past. Do you live around the parade. If you do we should meet up when it starts to get slippery.

I'm guessing you mean the boss kit which attatches the steering wheel to the steering column. Yes it is an ae86 boss kit as i believe the ae71 and ae86 have the same setup.

Its been a while since my last update but i have now had a 2 inch exhaust fitted. It actually makes quite a power difference and sounds great too.
