Project SE82 (3S-GE powered AE82)

[Pugho]

I have been wanting to do this (building a racecar out of an old corolla) for many years, but I always thouth it was for "those other guys". About a year ago I got to thinking.. Why couldn't I do this as well as anybody else? I only have one life, so why not live it now, right?

So... I'm not going to bore you with all the stories about the project that you are not interested in and I have forgotten half of. Instead I'll go right to the essentials.

Origin:
1985 Toyota corolla 1.6 DX
4A-C powered front-wheel-drive granny transporter


Engine:
2nd Generation 3SGE from a 1991 Celica GTi

Suspension:
Not really sure yet what the combination of corolla/celica parts I will use but the Celica parts will (probably) be from the generation previous to the engine donor because of the difference in availability (and price ).
Although I am a bit curious about one of those DIY Coilover kits available on EBAY.

Brakes:
I will most certainly use a complete stock ST162 brake system.
