    Default A kid with no toys is a lost kind indeed

    Recently I sold pretty much all my parts which consisted of my AE86 or that of what I was building. The reason I did this as I have planned to move to japan and instead of spending money on the car then selling it later for less profit I thought it would be wiser to give up whilst I was still a head and pack it in.

    Only a few weeks have past and already I felt quite empty by this and a small itch in the palm of my hands started to form. It wasn't an itch from grabbing the dog poo from the lawn or some miracle of jesus, but by the itch of building cars and driving them.

    I am also selling my S14 and believe that once it was sold I would still need a daily commuter to get me from A to B untill I left for Japan.

    So I aquired this.



    1984 AE71 Corolla CS-X

    1st Owner, 93,000kms
    Auto
    Air conditioned
    Mintox Condition

    Before this I thought it would be ideal to move my 20v blacktop and suspension into an AE71 and had purchased some 13x8 Mark2's

    Once owning this car I concluded that it was too good to turn hack and easily be defected. So I came up with another plan.

    This here some might know as a KE70 I once owned and then sold. It is equiped with the following.





    AE86 Kouki 7-Rib Bigport 4age othwise known as Special K
    AE86 Zenki Disc Rear end with 2WAY LSD and a 4.3 final gear

    A friend of mine bought it, it got defected and then he transfered it into a shell of his own, which also got defected. Recently he put it up for sale and now wanting something to build again and drive, decided to purchase it back of him.

    So now I have a KE70 and some Mark2's. So I did this.






    Mushka there, Also known as Battlecat protects the car whilst I am away.

    Have already bought a list of new things for it.

    AE86 BC Coilovers
    Garage Clear Modified Steering Knuckles
    40mm RCA
    Xt130 LCA's
    Jasma Extractors
    New Quadlight surrounds
    Bride fixed back and a Rail to suit KE70
    AJPS Panhard rod
    Steering Rack bushes
    Spare AE86 Steering rack I put together from spare parts I had
    AE86 Jasma Extractors to replace the sad standard primaries and secondaries ive had for many years
    Shifter Rebuilt Kit

    Also will get some 13x7 variants for skids.

    Plan is to paint it white, put the lip back on it, cut bumpers down, keep it simple and have some fun
