awesome work!!!! looks like i guess right in the first page of what youll do to the car... will you be fuel injected boosting or carb boosting? the owner of the carina in the first page had a greater result and consistency from switching from carb boosting to FI boosting...

on a side note...neighbor will be starting up his 3tc FI corolla...we'll see how that goes...he went with a mega squirt.

thanks houdni!

im gonna be doing a EFI setup, carb setup is a hassle since im gonna be driving this car on the street as well. mite go with either haltech or megasquirt not sure at the moment. the hardest part is gonna be building the intake manifold from scratch but it should be a good learning experience for me lol

nothing much to report just paying bills before I buy anything else

so I just sent out the money for the clutch, EDM bellhousing, and all other necessary parts to mate the w-series tranny with my 3TC engine. things are moving very slowly unfortunately due to bills piling up
