in particular search for "jimenez"
it's a red 82~83 corolla...

stock 3T block... everything inside forged, and I guess it has to have everything else pretty well done
but the block itself is stock...
did I mentioned it runs @ 41+psi at sea level?

cool stuff, 41 psi at sea level? thats like 80+ psi up here(vortex runs 15psi? vamp runs 5psi? just guesstemates x3 from sea level)

i like that old school one with the huge drag radials on the back. 2nd one down

it should be around 60ish up there in the heavens

did I mention it even passes emission tests?

lol... i like how those old hatches look like mine but mine is FWD

lol, I've got 3 Starlets and an 83 Corolla 2dr. The Corolla won't have the nuts to run with the big dogs like that but one of the Starlets will. BTW, I love posting these vids on the local boards since most of these guys assume that it must be an LSx platform to be fast.

Clubman is one of my favorites to watch since the car looks fairly stock and is completely puss. Gorgeous vehicle.
I've got DVDs of a couple races at Carolina. crazy stuff. You don't see any FWD, no Hondas(or Chevys/Fords for that matter) and most everyone is in a sub 10 second vehicle. It's either a Toyota, Mazda or Datsun and it's powered by 3tc, 3sgte or a 12A/13B. I love this stuff.

I was like.... holy crazy ass hell ....

edit:
I watched clubman.... crazy fireworks upon fuel cut off eh

sad but so true... :tear: :tear: :tear:

Well, I know the FWD one won't, it's an unmolested DD. My RWD 3tc one still won't, and it doesn't have a stock spec part in the motor except for connecting rod length. I have enough complete 3tc motors, W series transmissions, a couple driveshafts, etc., to play around with it a bit though. The 83 was meant to cruise but have a setup just hot enough to make it a little fun. Kinda like an import version of a resto rod.
