KPJUK Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) Hey everyone, Signed up to tap into some expert knowledge. I'm a Motorsport Engineering Student with Wiltshire College/Bath University and am the proud owner of two very broke E9 Corolla's - a 1989 AE92 GT-i16 with a busted oil pump, currently undergoing a 2ZZ-GE conversion - and a 1991 EE90 Liftback GL which is the main concern, currently undergoing a 4E-FE conversion which I need some help with! Here's the GTi - you may have seen it at JapFest or JAE in the brief periods where it isn't totally shagged: It's unfortunately rotting away a little in a garage in the suburbs while I piece together funds and detailed wiring plans for the conversion for a Corolla T-Sport 2ZZ-GE engine. And the Liftback which is undergoing major surgeries: It's not the most up-to-date picture but I will eventually post the full build thread when I get an evening to go through the pages back on my own Forum. I hope it's not too much of a piss-take to sign up simply to ask for help - I am stuck out at Uni unless I get this thing done in just over a week so I'm getting desperate for quick, specialist knowledge KP Edited June 8, 2015 by KPJUK Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you mate, it was a long haul getting it up to standard after being a wreck. Started working on it when I was 14 - had two weeks in her then the oil pump blew! Will be a monster once I finish the conversion. That's exactly what I was hoping for! Thanks Thanks for the welcome Colin. KP Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You'll find more than you need on here Thanks Steve - I don't know why but when I was 14 I fell in love with them and bought the GTi within an hour of seeing it. If you're interested I can post the full build for that as well - just don't want to tread on any toes given I'm not a Starlet owner. Thanks on the Liftback too - she's a total bag but she is my bag and has taught me a lot, mostly about carburettor and welding. Welcome along, recognise you from a few corolla forums.

Started out on Toyota Owners Club but after being constantly whinged at by moderators I moved on and started up the AE92 Owners Club. At around the same time I joined CCUK and have been a minor contributor for some time there I may have to take you up on that once the bank account says yes. I have tackled the structural rust but there is some to be done cosmetically to put it politely! Welcome along Thanks for the welcome KP Quote Link to post Share on other sites
