    Default *SOLD* KE35 Corolla Club Racer - Melbourne

    *SOLD*

    Not sure you guys will be interested in this, but who knows...

    1975 KE35 Corolla Hardtop

    Fresh paint 2008, new windscreen rubbers, rust free shell (aside from one bit in the firewall)
    Alloy roll cage – no CAMS log book

    Toyota 1.6L 2TG Twin Cam engine with twin Weber 40’s. Dyno tuned at 67kw at the rear wheels. Previous owner said it had TRD grind cams in it, but this has not been verified.
    Alternator freshly rebuilt
    Electronic ignition fitted since engine bay photo taken
    T50 Celica/Corona 5 speed gearbox
    T-series Celica/Corona Diff – diff centre is locked and is in good condition, axles have new wheel bearings

    Front suspension – Koni Yellow adjustable shocks - newly serviced. Corona RT132 struts converted to adjustable platform coil-over springs. 325lb springs. Cusco adjustable camber tops.Sway bar.
    Rear suspension – leaf spring, Koni Red adjustable shocks.

    Front Brakes - RT132 Sumitomo twin spot front calipers, Ferodo DS3000 pads near new, Peugeot ventilated rotors
    Rear Brakes – Corona/Celica drums
    Upgraded Pajero 15/16 Master Cylinder

    Wheels – near new 15x7 Performance Superlites.
    Tyres – 205/50/15 A048 Fronts, one event old. 225/50/15 A048 Rears – plenty of life.

    Velo seat
    ERG 6 point harness – dated 2013
    SAAS Steering wheel and gear knob
    Cusco strut brace

    A few spares come with it including the standard Toyota EFI inlet manifold, spare grille, spare welded diff centre, worn A032 tyres and some other bits and pieces.

    Good fun little car that has been very reliable competing in Sprints and Hillclimbs. My best times in it are Phillip Island 2.07, Sandown 1.37, Winton 1.49 and PI Hillclimb 1.12. Someone who knew what they were doing on something other than hand me down tyres would probably be able to go much faster!

    Only selling it as something else I always wanted to own has come up. I will miss the Racing Rolla!

    $6000. PM me for more information, photos, or to arrange to have a look. Car is in SE suburbs of Melbourne.

    My new toy has arrived home over the weekend, so a little keener to get this sold.

    Happy to negotiate on price.

    And would prefer potential enquirers have discussed their racing budget with their partner before they chat - amazing the number of blokes who would love it but aren't allowed by the Mrs

    Bump for a good little track car, the trick is to buy the car and suprise the missus when it arrives, she will be mad but at least you have a race car

    John is on it - how long can they be angry for hehehe.

    No one understand my new toy. Daihatsu Charade Detomaso



    Used to get run in the Australian Rally Championship. 800kgs. 1.6L 92kw stock. Close ratio gearbox. LSD. Recaros. Nardi wheel. 4 wheel discs. Should be pretty similar in performance to the Corolla standard, but has the beauty of EFI, road rego, and a more modern car making parts sourcing mostly easier. Sounds horn when you are up her too.

    I want to branch out from just doing hill climb and sprints and do a little tarmac rally stuff, and the Corolla was just going to be too hard to bring up to spec without just being a complete money pit.

    Hopefully the Charade won't be quite the money pit

    Decided to put it on ebay and see if that generates any interest. Might as well advertise to the biggest audience out there!

    hehe wasn't aimed at you BeeJay - you were open and honest about it what you were doing. Thats all a man can ask

    It was the bloke that shook hands on a deal and made me promise not to sell it until he came back the next day with the cash....then told me that night that his Mrs would only let him spend $5K blah blah blah!
