    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...

    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.

    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.
