I started off buying a white slanty 4age ke70 from SA, left Melton at 5:30am, drove to the other side of adelaide and then drove this corolla back with no heater & a locked r/h/f strut for 7 hours at 4,200rpm.

It was standard bodied on 14 inch cressida steel wheels.

I cut the springs and fitted a set of rota grids & cheap china tyres then it looked like this.

Decided I'd have a go running it around Winton with my friends in their r33 gtsts, Best time of the day first time ever on the track was 1:52.4

Was hooked on racing so I started to get into any track days I could, I completed a second winton track day, only thing I changed was my tyres (achilles 123) & my rear shocks to keep up with the higher spring rate caused by cutting the springs. Best time the 2nd time out was a 1:48.

 

Third time taking the car out racing was at the Bryant park "haunted hills" hillclimb. Best time of the day was 61.8 seconds. I tried too hard after my 2nd timed run and managed to put it into a tractor tyre wall. Fair ʞ©$ɟed it too.

Done really well in the new car, 1:45 straight off the trailer.

(no photos of the car at winton this time sadly)

 

Ran out of guard clearance when I fitted my AJPS LCAs.

Got a full cage fitted (don't have a good photo of it) and patched up the rear firewall/parcel shelf to pass scruit at Winton.

Nice work! They make a great motorsport car all round.

Definitely, that's one of my favourite things about the little corolla.
