Re: $2014 Challenge Corolla
Sat down a few days ago and made a To Do list
Thing done on Tuesday:
- Spark Plugs
- Engine bay wiring repair (Ignitor and other hacked wiring)
- Motor mounts
- Fuel pump
I started on the transmission mount and snapped a bolt . . . The last bolt and in the tail housing . . . Damnit!!
I'm dropping the trans today to take care of it.
More updates in thread over at GRM.

Re: $2014 Challenge Corolla
Manual Steering rack goodies:
Wiring harness and goodies:
I have the Cressida front 5-lug bits ready to go. I need to pull the rear axles + drums and take them to the truck shop for a 4 => 5 lug weld and drill mod.
Slight change (as usual) on the ECU. I'm going to use a GM 7730 ECM and wiring harness. A v6 Camaro at Pull-a-Part donated all of the goods for the cost of a premade wiring harness for Megasquirt. The 7730 is thoroughly hacked and has pretty good support. Interesting tidbit, the 7749 was on a late 80s turbo Sunbird. The 7730 can be wired like a 7749 and will run the 7749 bin files. Several peeps have used that bin file on 22RTEs without much issues.
Along with the change from a steering box to a rack, the 3TC exhaust exits right where the rack connects to column . . . best way to fix this is use a turbo!!
Got to LOVE Pull-a-Part!!

Re: $2014 Challenge Corolla
So . . . After new gaskets (head, intake, exhaust, and valve cover), valve seals and radiator hoses, I threw on a carb that was included in box-o-parts that came with the car.
High idle and sputter city!!
Anything lower than ~1000ish rpm idle would die, the fuel bowl is completely fuel, and sooty smoke of the tail pipe . . . AWESOME!!
I does drive ok in the cul de sac, but I can't really test it until I get some real tires on it.
Should I attempt to adjust the fuel float?? Suggestions, tips, hints??

Re: $2014 Challenge Corolla
I'm at a stopping point for the next few weeks. DDs need some attention
I have to decide on the Celica Supra wheels (14x7) or Conquest wheels (16x7 and 16x8). Both will take similar amounts of work (flares, spacer or adapters for the rear, shorten the front strut housings for the TRD springs). The Conquest wheels for the front adds making a lower spring perch using 5-lug Cressida strut housings as the stock one is too big.
After that, I have to get some outer ball joints and SW20 struts for the modded front.
