diss7's TE27 & AE86

Have had a few people asking about some of the other cars I own. Seeing as they are the new 86's father and grandfather, I thought I'd put up some more info. The ke20 is looking like it's sold, pending payment. Which, I needed to do as I never drove it; and now that I'm boosting the ae86 it doesn't have too much purpose. Also I need the garage space for the new 86! None of these cars are my dailys, I have a 2008 Hilux as daily.

I'll put both the ae86 and te27 in the same thread, as I don't really mod the te27.
Actually, I don't really drive the te27 much either. But only because I get too worried about other muppet road users. Take it out maybe once a month at most.

1973 Toyota Corolla 'Trueno' TE27 JDM

Factory 2T-G w/ twin side draft solex carbys, extractors.
Factory T50, disc brakes and braided lines.
Wheels are old school enkei's, not sure of the model.

Future plans are to freshen the engine bay up a bit. Some trumpets on the carbs. Might respray it too, seeing as its 40 years old this year!


















Walk around & startup

I was considering turning this into an historic race car a couple of years ago, but its almost a waste to do it. There is only around 4 or 5 in New Zealand and Australia combined that are street driveable. So I figure I'll just hang onto it, drive it every now and then and enjoy it.
