It's HERE! 1986 Toyota Corolla SR5 aka The New Track Car
Yeah, I'm loving it already, it's a bit dirty, but it's been sitting around forever, so I'm not too worried. For those who know and are concerned, don't be, it only cost me 800 bucks to get this SR5 to my driveway and a GTS conversion is going to be done before you know it. I'm definitely in love with this car, I followed it on the way home and almost wrecked because I couldn't keep my eyes off of it.
Everyone who drove by it on the highway and new what it was slowed down, stared and a few even took pictures, I'm very excited that I got such a clean car for so little money.
On with the pics!!!
And as with every used car you buy, you always get a little bonus . . .I'm definitely going to wash this and wear it, I'm not a fan of Kyosho products (I favor Tamiya) but can't turn down free!
LOL!

It is, it's not driving now anyway, had it towed to my house, it needs a clutch, that's going in in the next few weeks, not that I don't have the cash, the clutch is only 100 bucks, but I have other things to take care of financially before I can lay any cash in it.

You can buy the engine, with transmission and full harness for 850 shipped, so it's not an expensive swap, just one that takes a while. It's not my means of transportation so it has more than enough time to sit there while I decide what to do with her. It's going to be freaking awesome, so far what I've gathered that you need to go from SR5 to GTS from Club4AG is:
Engine
Transmission
Harness
Axles
Limited slip
rear brakes
fuel lines
fuel pump
The first 3 are included all in the same package, so that leaves the rest of the crew. Since everything is interchangeable, I can just get the aftermarket equipment for everything else, and that will make it easy to take care of the rest of the swap.
Thanks for droppin by bro, I'll let you know how everything turns out!

LOL! Decisions, decisions . . . .I don't know which direction I want to go, I DO know, however, that I would like to compete regionally in my locall SCCA and NASA chapters, so I'm most likely going to just keep the Toyota design and get the 4AG motor and transmission, either way, I think this thing will soar!
