Corolla GTS as a rally car...Opinions ? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

flat_out · 11-13-2003, 03:20 PM

I am searching for a rally project car, and have narrowed the search to several manufactures and models. Toyota's Corolla GTS is one I am considering but not sure if one year over another makes more sense.

Does anyone have (or know someone who has) experience prepping a Corolla GTS for off-road rally racing and if so, can you give me any background as to year of car, problems encountered, advantages/disadvantages to the Corolla....

Thanx...

pretty decent, but if you can afford something like a talon tsi, that's what i'd go for

Diabolique Motorsports' 1985 Corolla GT-S (20V 4ag-e)

*these guys are prolly the best to ask all your questions, they're good guys to talk to. you can reach 'em at Applewood Service Centre (905)275-1919, ask for either Luis or Ulysses. hope this help!

flat_out... i spoke to my friends today and inform them that someone might call, inquiring about a rally car set-up. so give 'em a call, ask for Luis. they might be selling their '83 RallyStarlet. it's a got a full corolla gt-s drivetrain, a redtop 4ag if i'm not mistaken, very nice. goodluck bro!

try find the all wheel drive ae92 GTS. that might work the best for rally.

I'd sooner use a FWD in a rally than I ever would a RWD. The amount of control is significantly better for off-road use. Before I get flamed as I always do on this subject, let me just say that I talk from experience.

OMG! is that the GTX thats been crushed? (or somewhat)

ahh man...i missed my 323......i destroyed the auto tranny:o

4Aaron GE · 11-16-2003, 01:41 PM

No, that's a regular 323. Total rustbucket. You Boro Crew guys would love it.

The dude with the GTX is taking much better care of his.

that car must be a sleeper rocket

I'm told it is. I'm sure that FMIC of his makes a nice difference.
