********* Here is my NEW TOYOTA RACECAR*********
Flippin 40 hour round trip to the south. What a nightmare.
Anyhow,
1980 Toyota Corolla
Bridgeport 12A
RX7 Transmission
4 Link Suspension
Holley 650 Carb
Holley Blue Pump
Holley Blue Regulator
Msd Ignition
Magnacore wires
Racing Beat Intake Manifold
Custom Exhaust
Etc. Etc.
_________________________________________________
I'll begin stripping it today to get it ready for:
13B w/Raceport
80mm Turbo T6
Blowthru Carb
Full Alcohol (No Gas)
Minitub most likely
Built 8.8
Weld Wheels
Full restorated interior
Color Change
Etc. Etc. Etc. Etc. Etc. Etc.
This thing makes my old RX7 feel heavy.

im glad to hear you sold your blue car. That thing was pure sex if you do not mind me saying
I drove past a car just like this in Houston but it was orange and had puerto rico plates on it. Just sitting outside a guys house at about 9:45pm. I drove by the same place a few days later at about 1pm and it was gone. I have not seen it again
I could tell it was not stock by the suspension. It has a nice rake on it with some bigger tires in the back.

I have pretty much everything needed for a blow-thru setup so I'm going to give it a try. I have someone locally who has alot of experience with blow-thru carb race cars.
I'm trying to find out if a 26X11.5X15 will fit with the stock tubs (I doubt it). I'll probably mini-tub if that's what I need to do.

The car in the pic above doesnt look to have 28's. Those look like 26's, mounted on 15's. The tires in the cars above are 29's, 30's, somewhere in that neighborhood. How far inboard do the suspension peices fit? If you are having a rear custom fit with all the brackets welded on, you might not spend much more money changing it to a drag racing 4 link setup. If they are cutting the tubs out, how much more is it just cut the whole floor out?

I still have that automatic C4 if your interested?
Do you mind if I ask what type of blow thru system you are going to put together. Just wondering.
Holley?
Weber?
They all work just fine you just have to spend time on them and tune them just like any other setup.
Good Luck

Also, the car is already fabbed up for a rotary. It came with some performance parts that I can sell and I feel that I got a pretty decent deal on it.

The first thing we're going to work on is getting the rear end setup, mounted and minitubbed.
I'm going to run a 15X10 wheel with 26/10.5/15 tires.
