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

Thanks for that Oggy, ima be onto that asap.

The whole ECU plug this was the last straw, i refuse to use this loom anymoe.
And to that effect, im now in the market for a new harness/loom.

So if ANYONE hears of a usable 4A-GE 20V Blacktop wiring harness/loom for sale, pls let me know.

Recently i bought ANOTHER corolla, this time an ae82 twin cam seca liftback. Rebuilt engine and not even started, so this new car is first in line, and the white seca has been shunted aside for now.
I am most definitely NOT going away from this car, i am merely pausing until a new loom is found, and this new car is run in...

So don't be surprised if this thread isn't updated for a few months...
