I'll be impressed if you can do that. My RX3 is 1880lbs.

I highly doubt I’ll be able to get it down to 1500 lbs. That doesn’t mean and I won’t try, though.

Starting the minitub this weekend, 8.8 and 4.56 gears are being delivered on sunday. I'm picking up the new transmission tommorow. I'm trying to decide on wheels. I'm going to run a 15X10 wheel with no much backspace for a deeper dish.

I'm thinking something like this but with beadlocks and a different color of course. What do you guys think?



I'm thinking about going with a Paint/Wheel color scheme like this. What do you guys think?

Is there a good website about these corollas? I have always liked the boxiness look of these and would trade my rx2 in a heartbeat for this body style.

Well, anyways, good luck on the project, hopefully it will be as awe-inspiring as much as your last one.

These corolla's are a dime a dozen down here in Cali., but try to find an rx2. In my opinion the rx2 and 3's are a better looking car, however any tubbed car looks good. hehe.

Thats another thing, I can do a 3/4 chassis, or even just get away with a mini tub, but not on my rx2. I just can't cut up my rx2 though.

Waiting on a quote for some "Hole Shot" wheels, was hoping to order today. They have to be custom made per order so it's going to take a few weeks to get them.

Polished aluminum wheel with the center powdercoated black.

15X10 with with a 3 inch backspace.
