Ever heard of an early 80's Corolla 1.8SE Liftback TRD ? This was a South-Africa only rally homologation special complete with Dual Dellorto carburettors, high lift camshaft and extractor manifold to get decent power out of the pushrod 3T engine. Only 300 were built of which most ended up on the rally scene and even on race tracks. I owned one in the early 90's. They are extremely scarce nowadays and thus worth a fortune.
Still was no match for a 4AGE and it was extremely heavy on fuel. Had a lot of character though. Those dual sidedraughts made a lovely snorting sound as it drank its way through the fuel tank.....
unfortunately "Kevin" needs a bit of work. He has no brakes at all and is in need a a good tune etc. It's a good 10m car, any closer "his" faults start to show.

I hadn’t heard of this, it’s very impressive! I’m sure it was great to own.

1966 KE10 auto.
Was originally sold by the dealership.
Wow, a really cool story. Great to see classics like these still on the road and in a good condition!

There was corrolla that was supercharged at one point
Very cool!

The AE86 Trueno as it's known in in Japan (Gran Turismo teaching's) is a wicked car, and if you mod it right can look truly bad arse 😎😎
The modding community really have come up with some weird and wonderful ideas!
