1981 Toyota Corolla review from North America
"This car loves to eat Hondas"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car has not given me any problems and Considering that the car is about 21 years old it still runs great (ill tell you it runs better than these new cars)
Just a good tune up once in a while. The car is very economical gas wise (even though I got 2 webber 45 carburetors The car has many upgrades though last year I upgraded the rear lights to an,82 (trust me they look way better)
it has a 4.11 differential so it takes of on 2 wheels.
I also got performance headers and a big muffler which by the way is very loud (but it sounds good good unlike Hondas that sound like a bad fart)
I also got an MSD ignition with blasters
and like I said above I got 2 webber 45's which by the way are high performance carburetors
I also has a Norris high performance camshaft.
And last, but not least the car also has custcm made 60" pistons which are much bigger and have more compression than the original pistons
I still haven't spent more than $5k
so now you got proof this is an extremly economical car.
General comments?
Very fast (will burn any Honda on this planet)
very strong this car will hit 0-60 in about 4 seconds
This car loves to eat Hondas and any V8 that comes in my way ill eat them too
