hey guys. new member here from Atlanta. i drive a 1981 corolla wagon slammed on some 14's. ive been tossing around the idea of doing a rotary swap so i figgured id get on the boards. ive already got the mounts. now all i need is a 12a to motivate me haha. dont really have a career, but i help out part time at my local old school shop, garaze zero, located out of auburn. ive also got a series one, SA. a 78 to be exact. threw me off cause i thought they first produced the 7s in 79 but the vin dont lie. but it is being parted out. here are some pics of the wagon

 

some things i forgot to mention in my haze of posting last night. the car has a pushrod 1.6 litre 2-TC motor with a T50 5 speed transmission (swap done by garaze zero) with a webber carb. soon to bed dual webbers with a nice cam. anybody that knows toyota's knows that T-series motors are abosulte tourqe beasts. and yes...its RWD for those who dont know

 

welcome. i'd like to do a celica gt from the 70s. i figure i could find one of those cheaper than i can find another rx3.

 

yea sometimes it seems that way. especially being on the east coast. people havent really learned of the true value of the old toyota's yet so you can still find the old guy that has one in his yard that will sell for cheap. our shop has recently done a 5mge swap (celica supra motor) in one, and is currently working on the shop car, a 77 GT lift back with a turbo volvo 940 swap, on mega squirt. you arent too far out from atlanta man. you should come down to some of our old school meets.

 

welcome

 

last meet i was at that had old school toyotas and datsuns was the osjc guys.

 

i seen a rotary toyota wagon at the track here in orlando once. street ported and all

 

you can do it.

 

the one last year in october? or the one at the mitty or the one in march haha. we have had TONS. but yea i used to be in the Z31 so thats prolly the car you would remember me in

 

the wagon i have used to be rotary powered. it ran an 11 sec quarter on spray. lifted the front tires off the ground too. its great. the thing only weights 2150 with full interior
