Surreptitious - She is still under construction, but in essense....
Take one part Loyning's built "street" smallport 4AGE, add in AE86 suspension components and brakes, mix in a 6 speed transmission from a Miata...

This is my toy... carrying more than one passenger is a detriment, and so I've decided to make this Corolla a dedicated 2 seater, with storage capability for a 7' Christmas tree....... I removed the rear seats, and designed a ...
Not to dissimilar to my acquisition of the vintage, date appropriate, steering wheel hub, I recently came across a set of Cibie "Z" Beams, aka "bobi" headlamps. They were LEGALLY available for a short time (early 1980s) here before the ...
I had "ae86andkp61" give me a hand finding squeaks, vibrations, rattles... We found 4, and those 4 when corrected will make for a quiet Corolla.... 1) using new rubber sheet, I better insulated mounting points(straps, filler neck, rubber pads) on ...
Well... I FINALLY got the disc brake/GTS rear end(3.9 instead of 3.58) swapped in
Adding photo of the transmission installed
Still finishing the details.... but the J160 6 speed from the Altezza/IS200 is now fully installed in Surreptitious
My body guy... David.... well he is as talented with wood, as he with metal.... I dare say this is the only real wood dash insert for any E7 Corolla. All the right side needs is a bit of tung ...
Currently she is out @ tunedbypsi.com getting something MUCH more then an amateur tune that I've been diddling with over the past 2 years. I tried, and although her in-town manners are better now, then 2 years ago... her emissions ...
It was such a nice day... I went for a ride
Here is the Toyota J160 with LEEN adapter fitted, and just about ready for installation. The J160 is Toyota's version of the Aisin Industries AZ6.... which is a VERY close relative of the Mazda Y16M-D 6 speed that was available ...
First time out... Best In Show
Black and white... on a black and white car.... ;)
Ditto
Adding a few pics
A late x-mas gift....
I'm not a big fan of upper adjustable strut mounts, frequently they will transmit vibration, and wear prematurely. So, because of strut angle differences between the AE7 and the AE8 chassis, SOME form of camber modification is required. Most of ...
Found a very nice set of Recaro seats that will fit the interior blu color perfectly
As the interior gets its fair share of attention it needs its own unique features. One of her unique interior features is an older Nardi flat-dish rim @37cm
With the overall drivetrain now in almost daily driver condition, the interior needs some attention. The dash "pad" was horrible - having multriple cracks. The first stage was to get the cracks filled and let them age(to make sure no ...
She went 3 passes... . . . . . . . It's been 25 years since I went drag racing last.... I wasn't very good then, and I'm not very good now... I'm sure with a competent driver behind the ...
A nice lope http://s79.photobucket.com/albums/j143/oldeskewltoy/ae71/?action=view¤t=tailpipeview.mp4

Art pose
Slightly askew(camera)... but you get the idea
Added rear FOHA spoiler
Not yet fully tuned... but power is building and she is Oregon emissions compliant
Here is Surreptitious's 1st dyno run, 141hp and 108#/ft @ the wheels. Not bad considering this is far from her final state of tune......
