Hey guys
This thread will be about the journey of my 1993 AE94 Corolla Liftback / Seca.
I live in Australia.
No it isn't a road car, but a multipurpose race car.
Its powered by the infamous 4AGE 20V Blacktop.
So far, it has cost around $2500-3000 in total.

So lets begin...

May 2014 ; 6 months ownership, rolled at local hillclimb, this red hatch was the car that contained the 4AGE, and I knew it still ran even after the crash.

June 2014 ; New shell is ready, a 1993 Corolla SECA (Aussie liftback).


July 2014 ; 1 month and a surgery later, the new car starts up, with no exhaust what so ever.

March 2015 ; how it sits now (after a minor bend and another surgery)
It has the following mods :
-Striped interior
-SAAS bucket seat
-Monza 6 point harness
-Custom rear strut brace
-Toyota steering wheel (TRD?)
-Lowered with king springs
-4AGE 20v Blacktop (with air flow meter (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumbdown.gif) ) (Silvertop wiring loom?)
-oil catch can
-thermo fan wired to dash
-custom straight through exhaust, side exit

It is currently out of action due to a tempermental ISCV (Idle Speed Control Valve) and I should have a new 1 in the next few days (hopefully)

I plan to apply the following mods
- SX/GTI rear disc conversion
- SX/GTI front disc upgrade
- fix minor crash damage to front right fender
- Stiffer springs all round (handles like a boat on tarmac)
- Anti sway bars?
- Replace air flow meter with MAP and Air temp sensors
- SX boot lid spoiler
-SX / GTI gauge cluster

I currently race on both dirt and occasionally tarmac, which is why I have both a set of freshly worn rally tires, and a set of cheap semi slicks

NOTE : my family is not rich,
also, I am 15, and while I am not a mechanic of any sort, but I do know plenty about the 20v.
I do not know how often I will update this thread due to school and funding

(Also something to note, i am a massive INITIAL D fan!)

thanks for reading
