Hi All,
Thought i would start a thread for my AE71 Build, or should i say re-work of the car.
Here is the build thread for the first rendition of this car featuring a 7AGTE 20v Turbo engine
Which has been a true joy to drive over the last few years, however
I have missed the memories and joys of a screaming N/A engine under the hood from many years ago..
And it is time to build an N/A engine for this car, lose some weight in the car in an attempt to
regain the nimble nature of a light corolla which was noticeably diminished with the heavy Hilux diff, w58 box and
and the bolt ons that are required for a turbo engine such as manifolds intercooler ect ect.
Also a nice and linear power curve would improve the overall driveability of the car particular at the tighter circuits such as Winton.
With the 7AGTE engine/gearbox sold off, as well as the hilux diff setup, I can move on building the new driveline.
The new differential: (in progress)
