Names chad, I recently bought a 1983 corolla for gymkhana/drift use. I dont know much about these cars but I previously turned wrenches on Hondas, a year experience, did my first transmission swap, axles, and installed suspension upgrades. I like old school anyways and this car is something else guys. So let me know of any distributors that sell upgraded parts for these cars and Id like to contribute to the culture of these cars as well seeing as theyre so rare around the states. About the car:

183,000 miles, still runs strong
Different colors= awesome.
typical wear and tear on the interior... actually no carpet but the seats are muffed up.
webber carb, 4 AC motor, shes a turd.
dash is uhh... sort of not there.
my friends dig it though to say the least. Heres some Pics!
