1988 Toyota Corolla AE82

Not bad - stock as a rock on outside.

Well done! 20V and suspension mods are a decent upgrade!

That's the idea, I am sick of getting pulled over in my other car so I wanted something with a decent punch, that was good on fuel, handled well and that I could park anywhere and no-one would mess with it.

This fits the bill perfectly. My FC on the other hand does not...




Thanks mate. The next mod is a good wash

well atleast you could park it out front of the pub and guarantee your going home alone....

Beautiful sleeper.

Whats the rev limit on the silvertop?

chvzding

That's a bit tricky to answer... Peak power comes in at 7400 rpm or so and most can make it to 10,000 rpm but realistically its more like 8500-9000 rpm. If you don't know they have variable valve timing which helps out a bit but I would hazard a guess and say that it is mostly in place for fuel economy. On that front it does approximately 600klms to a tank.

I love it! Such a sleeper

there is no point revving a stock silver top to 10,000rpm. all it does past 7400 is make noise and lower the life of your engine, not accelerate you faster. better to rev it to 8000 and pop the next gear. nice sleeper though how do you find the kings? they were wayy to soft in my 82.

chvzding

That's basically what I said mate, they CAN rev that high but there is no point.

Excellent actually, they seem very stiff. Could be a quality control issue?

cusco top brace???

also info on vvt controller?

also jump on twincam.org.au if you arent already, a wealth of info, parts and usage of the word cunt

The rear cusco brace was a cusco brace for a silvia I believe (don't hold me to that) it didn't fit so I jumped on autocad and used a cnc machine to bash out some new plates. I might make a few more adjustments but it works well.

The vvt controller is nothing special, as I said simple. It tells me when the vvt is working (red led wired in line), can turn the vvt permanently off or on and if my thoughts are correct I believe I can wire in a variable resistor and make it come on at a certain point in the rev range (wired to vvt switch, tachometer output and whatever other variables I might like). It is very simple.

I haven't been there but I will and I'll upload the car if there is a members rides section.

In other news, I am thinking about changing to a blacktop ecu and going with velocity stacks, but I have heard that the black top ecu makes it run a tad rich and robs a bit of power. So I'm not too sure about that. Also I plan on taking it to the next drag meet for sh!ts and giggles. So I'll know how fast it actually is soon enough.

Also its now kind of for sale but only really for swaps. I just want something different, and when I think about it I have no justifiable reason to sell.

chvzding

Sold! Mods can delete or archive this or whatever, she's gone...
