Slow start ae70 :)

[Hardtop_ae70]

Hi guys , I'm brand spanking new the forums ,but I like share with u guys my '82 Corolla AE70 hardtop.
This little grandpa spec will be my daily for the next few months untill the skyline is up and rolling. But after that I wanna put some good hours into it ,to get it juiced up for track racing (grip)

Its currently running a healthy but slow 3A-U auto with AC (working) and PS ,and look pretty good for its age

When the time comes to start the build If got a few options I wanna explore
,maybe do a CA18 or SR20 ,instead of the 4age

But like I say its gunna be a slow build (currently studying Meg. engineering) and wanna do it right first time around.

PICS











If anyone got some tips or suggestions ,I am always open for new ideas

awesome base! two doors e7's are soooo killer in my eyes, how much you pay for it if you dont mind me asking ? sr20 is best bang for buck ull get too man, good luck and more updates when they happen

[Hardtop_ae70]

600 big ones ,I was also leaning more to SR20 power ,and if I play my cards right I can get a half-cut for a friend for next to nothing

Nice buy there mate, Very good looking base to start with.
Just do one thing and dont make it getto spec please.

should edit how much you got it for, cause if you ever wanna sell it they go for a fair bit! brilliant lookin thing, chuck it on some decent 14's. for the sorta rarity imo you shouldn't turn it into a track car.

Shit dude that looks pretty tidy. Can't wait to get mine on the road. Were these sold in small numbers in WA or some shit? WA's where I bought mine from.

Wow another one in WA. That makes 3 + 1 other I saw the other day.

As others have stated I would try and keep it original as these are much rarer than 86's. Get a 4age for this (keep the AC) and buy an ke70/ae71 4door to put the nissan shit in (too much cutting to make it fit right).

[ae71 kid]

true... cant put nissan shit in a rare nice thing like that, put a 20v turbs in it, relatively cheap for the power potential and they are a great strong TOYOTA powerplant!!!

[Hardtop_ae70]

U guys ,got some good points ,maybe I should keep it original ,got a good interior and not alot of rust (mainly inside boot) , but the 3au got to go ,There's a lot of SR20 that I can find ,which I will def look at using for track use , but guess 4age is the best option for street car

thank for the input
