My two toyota's

hi guys this is my corolla turbo and levin bz-r

Ill start with the one your more interested in.....


1993 Corolla Turbo


So heres the story!

I bought this corolla back last year for a steel off a man with one arm! it came as a spazmatic and was alot of fun to drive but it was never my intention for it to remain N/A

Once i got somewhere to work on it over the winter months the project commenced.

here it is as i bought it




Then it went in for the conversion



Engine out



Then after christmas i found a crashed starlet GT turbo for breaking on pistonheads the guy was taking this p**s at first wanting me to go up and take the engine out myself so i said no then offered me the car so i took it!

engine out of starlet


Then putting the engine in the corolla.... lets just say it was annoying as non of the mounts were right lol so it was in and out like a yoyo but managed to get it all sorted and got it sat in

Engine in



The car with the engine sat in.


The i had an accident trying to get the radiator from the shelf about the car...


Car on trailer to go off to be wired.



And thats where im upto so far with it... have put it on hold whilst the wiring is being done then getting it finished ASAP.


1996 Levin BZ-R 1.6 20v blacktop engine








Thats all

@miib14. Hoping for the end of this month the lad is doing it as a favour so he is getting to it when he has time.

Hi all, sorry not for updating in a while been crazy busy!

Well the car came back to me in october after being messed around abit by the lad wiring the car up BUT....... It runs!!!

when she came back to me she went straight back into the garage for the rest to be done.

First i ordered the cooler and cut out the bumper for it


Next i did a bit of weight reduction to get all the unnecessary weight out of the car so it like this now...




Still got the bucket seats to put in when i find some rails to go on them and still retriming the dash taking out stuff i dont need to make the car as light as possible.

Next thing that i did was turned it into a van haha



Its only vinyl wrapped until i can get some poly carb windows for it.

then these goodies came....



not been fitted yet as i wanna put them on last when the car is done.

Next job up was fitting aero catches so i can create more room for relocating the airfilter and putting the oil cooler where the catch sits

Before


Making a start cutting


Uh oh!


After


So thats where im upto, nearly done now just got the following left to do

Fit bucket seats
Intercooler piping
exhaust to fit
new steering wheel
