1984 Toyota Corolla FX GT review from Australia and New Zealand
"A high performance machine that don't like to be driven slowly"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I first brought the car the big end bearing went.
I had the engine rebuilt with the super charged parts for more strength.
Three years later I was racing a Subaru and I blew the crank shaft again.
I have now put a blue top 4-age engine in it with a super charged gear box.
General comments?
There very very light in the in back so they get into drifts easy and don't like to come out straight away.
They do there big end bearing easily.
The shocks don't last long when your getting air born all the time.
