Brings back lots of great memories from the Olympus days and after. I've had 3 of these including Nick Moores winning GpN car and the infamous McGyver car.

Welcome to the cult of JVL drink the koolaid or be banned.

That's my favorite looking Corolla, if only it were driven RWD instead of FWD.

Seems like I remember someone putting the drive train of an AWD Celica in a FX16 years ago. It was a rally car, possibly from Cali.

as we used to say; Shit the fuck yeah!

Before my time. The only ones I can remember have been FWD.

An RRN search indicates that it could be either the Watanabes or Scott Childs.

Overkill is consistently more fun

Its pretty damn quick. Revs well past 8k, 4.55 final we think with 6 speeds, they are pretty stacked so never a bad spot. Should be around 175 hp and tqs to match. Pretty solid old car. Toyota had problems selling them because the price was right with the Celicas back then.

If it was RWD it would really be a riot.

Calm down JV

No cage nor plans of...
Prolly stockish Toyota JDM LSD
Struts in back, probably the normal 2 or 3 bolt uppers, can't remember. Does have new KYBs and looks to be stock height so no one has violated it...yet...

Brent sold his Titan pickup and bought this for a daily driver. Now he can get his house painted and garage roofed. Still has the CRX race car, heading to Idaho in 2 weeks for a hill climb.
