Gary's 2ZZ-GE converted EP91 track build


Recommended Posts

So it's been a while since I have done anything on here and I have been after a new project but not much had been coming up

Anyways I spotted a cheap Corolla T-sport and decided to do a 2ZZ-GE conversion into a UK ep91

I've not done a heap so far more just planning and thinking but work has begun on removing the old engine and wiring!

I've not bought a starlet yet but I'm sure one will pop up when I am ready to mount the engine

Small bit more progress tonight,

Got the engine lifted out and some wiring removed.

Safe to say the engine and box are needing a good clean before final install into an EP

More as it happens

Not a great deal of picture worthy progress,

The donor Corolla is stripped of parts

Also I have purchased a sportif starlet to begin work from

Once I clear a few jobs in the next week or so I'll get the starlet in and positioned for work to begin!

Aiming to have the engine on mounts in the bay by Christmas!

I then decided to first try the engine in the bay for size and see what room I have or don't have haha!

Engine will have to be removed again, a few modifications will need to be made before the engine can be test fitted again and begin making mounts
