Well, since I don't have much time I've decided to have OJPerformance build my mini-tubs for me. They'll be done in 2.5 weeks.

Hopefully I'll be able to start on the car next weekend. Getting my garage finished up this weekend so I'll have a nice work area.
Still haven't got my mini-tubs. The shop is running behind but that's fine. I still have lots of other things to work on like getting the 8.8 narrowed and setup.
Starting to get a little nervous about how this thing is going to react with some real power.
These two corollas don't put out jack for power and this is how they react.

I think the brown one crash already, that car had alot of torque since it had a big engine, i thing it was the 2.4 tacoma engine in it. But you are going to have alot fun driving your corolla.

I just tore down the Bridgeported 12A to see what was wrong with it. 3 corner seals were broke and a side seal was broke in three peices. Someone must have sprayed the hell out of the motor. Everything else looks good, though. I'm going to replace the bearings before I sell the engine.
What I did find out though............ It's a MONSTER J BRIDGEPORT !!!!!!!!!!
Someone spent some money on this engine ! Too bad that I have to sell it.

Finally brought my car home last weekend so I can finally work on it. I've been tearing the 8.8 down the past few nights. I'm going to chop/grind the stock brackets off and get it nice and clean so that I can hopefully get it narrowed this weekend.
I just ordered the chassis engineering ladder bar crossmember tonight so things are finally moving along.
Those tires look mean as hell in that small wheel well !

I was wanting to use all stock chassis brackets but since I've minitubbed it, the bracket is right in front of the tire so it's useless now.

Going to eventually order the Moser 31 Spline Race Axles. Those will handle anything a rotary can throw at it.

BTW, those ends are purty.
