Title: 1980 Toyota Corolla Vems/4age install
Post by: tetsujin on January 26, 2007, 04:01:14 PM
Hi all

My name is Adam and I am installing a 4age 1.6 16v engine into my 4door 1980 Corolla! :D

Up until now, the project has been slow but I have got the boring worg of making the car rust proof and can start building it all back up! :)

I am using a import, 1983 Toyota Levin as a doner car for all my running gear and was going to install it all on the std management but I got hold of a set of aftermarket ITB so I need VEMS!! :D

Ok here we go.

so take 1 1980, grandad owned Corolla with 25k.
