It doesn’t take much to make Toyota's AE86 Corolla look cool, but what about the more pedestrian front-wheel-drive version from the same vintage?
Apparently, all you need is some handbrake turns, a good-sized jump and a banging synth track.

I know, right? I'm not sure how successful this ad was when it first ran, but I'd say it's working nowadays.

Not realistic at all. Everyone knows that handbrake turns make girl’s pants fly off. I learned that on Top Gear from Clarkson, so I know it to be fact.

Here is one I built for a customer. Took out the tired 4ac/3spd auto and swapped in a 4efte/4spd auto.
Total sleeper. He wanted more passing power and fuel injection. So I nearly doubled the power and he gained about 10 more mpg.

Chevy knew what to do. '88 Nova Twin Cam. Double the popwer of a normal Nova and with a 5 speed manual. Bought a new one for my wife at the time to replace her '82 rabbit because she wanted something with 4 doors (because kids) that was quicker than the Rabbit. https://www.hemmings.com/stories/2013/08/26/lost-cars-of-the-1980s-1988-chevrolet-nova-twin-cam

I've got a NOS OEM Twin Cam bumper if anyone needs one. Should fit Corollas also. Already painted black from the factory because all Twin Cams were black, no other color choice.

I would have thought it would be easier to find Adam Brock's #rallycorolla on Google. Here's part of it.
