hi, i am making susupension mods-mostly to the rear.. im putting together a ford 9 inch for the rear end.. the front ,? i dont know yet.. well see how the car drives/sits after it gets moving..
the wiring--the only thing that plugs in, is the alternator.. its seems wierd, but the plugs in the alternator are the same..
the rest of the wiring will be a challange.. even though this 1987 corolla GTS originaly came with fuel injection, almost none of the wiring is gonna work.. so i have a feeling geting the wiring/ecu working may take alot of research-time-frustration.

..
the pics of the TT sc400 in this thread were not taken by me-therefore were not mine..
maybee if you PM Goldark, he will send them to you, if he still has them..

oh well-- but since this is a thread of some of my work-- heres a very recent pic of something COOL.. as far as i know its the first Corolla with the Lexus V8--but im not sure anyway.. by the way, this car is getting the same treatment--Twin turbos, auto trans--no air cond..

Chris, I think you will be the 2nd one with a V8 Corolla.
There is a guy working for Motec in Australia that has a V8 Levin.
I think yours will be faster though.

Keep us posted.

cool, thanks richie.. i have a feeling im gonna be up searching the internet tonight--v8 corolla..

the more i look things over, the more things fall into place.. this doesnt look like its a very difficult job.. the steering was a big concern--but it looks like i will not need to change it at all..
anyway, i will keep club lexus posted..
.. i can give up a few more details.. its gonna have 2 T3-T4 turbos--they are turbonetics units.. i am making the exhaust+headers..the motor is getting new pistons, and maybe rods..thats it for now.. il start a new thread when i get more done on the car..chris..
