I hope to expand to WOR and OVR events next season.

Awesome! We have a few real-wheel-drivers and would love to have some more.

From OVR and WOR, Pete is on here with his FB RX-7, I lurk on here, and Evan has a build thread for his turbo miata on every other forum but this one.

That same lexus motor is found in the Tundra Pickup.

I have been very tempted to swap the whole drivelin into a volvo, even just keep the auto, as you would have to focus on braking!

One of my DDs is actually an old LS400 with 275, 000. Those Yota V8s are bulletproof. I also have a spare LS400 drivetrain that I have been planning on swapping into my 1979 Coupe for quite some time. Most guys get an adapter plate for a supra or celica 5speed to bolt to it. It's becoming a common swap around here. IIRC the 1uzfe is also not about the same weight as a 22r, so its not much heavier than the smaller than the T and A series.

I sort of like those. What sort of mileage does it get? That sounds pretty nice. If you do that then piccies would be great.

That's actually pretty cool. Are you a JurboPricks member? They have a guy that did just that (but with many many mods) sort of. He cut an Amazon body off and put it on a SC400 chassis. Quite a thread.

Anyway, don't mean to threadjack. It's nice to see old Toyotas in the dirt. I hope Nathan has a good time with his sweet rimpz. Foo'.

Not a turbobricks member, but I did check out the amazon thread. That is so cool! Being a member of a forum like that would just encourage me to buy more cars that I don't need. I am trying to get rid of a couple of Saabs as it is.

I am hoping to build the 79 Corolla as a Grassroots Challenge car, so if I ever get started on that I will post it up.

@Pete- I plan to be out at the beginning of next seaon. Wish I could make the Dec. 1st event, but I made other plans before I noticed there is one more event. Can't wait to see your RX-7 in the dirt, I love the sound of rotaries!

Get her in the co-drivers seat, and it sudenly becomes a whole lot easier to spend the money.

get her in the drivers seat and she may choose to spend money on a car herself and not notice that you are doing it too

She doesn't even know how to drive a manual transmission. I have tried a couple of times to no avail.

Tell her only 2% of all vehicle sales in Italy are autotragicco and 3% are autotragique in France. In both places, 50% of the drivers are wimminz, and according to insurance surveys, the best drivers are 35 year oldf wimmins..
And they're mostly all still hot at 35.

If my wife can learn, yours can. It took blowing her transmission up for the 3rd
time to get her into the drivers seat of my Capri...

Bummer, you missed an awesome one. Weather was great and the course conditions were perfect.

Dude! That looks like a fun and fast course! Sad I missed it. Also, it looks like you really know how to drive that car. I am very excited for next season.
