$2014 Challenge Corolla

Post by Strike_Zero »

Here is one of my many projects @ StrikeZero Garage.

I'm building a TE72 for the Grassroots 2014 Challenge.

The premise of the GRM Challenge is to build and race a car for the amount = to the year of the event.

Hereis the thread of everything done thus far http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/ ... 171/page1/.

I'll try to update this thread along with the one post above.

Hope everyone enjoys my trip to insanity to build and race a TE72 using only wrenches and good research + trial and error!!

:twisted:

I read through your build thread. Looks like fun.
"using only wrenches and good research + trial and error!!" -I hear you there. I am trying to use cressida struts on my TE31 for coilovers and better brakes.

Another slow update :lol:

I picked up a complete EFI intake manifold setup from an 88 Isuzu Trooper at Pull-a-Part for ~$30.

The engine in question is 4ZE1. I'll get some pics of it and the 3TC intake gasket once I clean it up.

I did offer it up to a 2TC head they had there and it was REALLY close to fitting 8-)
