Default hello all

hello everyone. my name is Grant I am 28 yrs old I have a 1985 toyota corolla with a 2002 f20c. this car is my primary drift only machine and figured id join the forum to scoop up the knowlege. it has 87000 km and runs beautifully. I did have a read about the valve keepers and my tackle shriveled like a turtle.

hope to get a chance to learn from you all
suggestions on longevity duely taken
she sees 7-9k on the regular (every run)

Welcome
I pretty much everyday I just hit 100k never had an issue Im the second owner but I believe Im still on the stock clutch and its still strong! I think these cars/engines will last a very long time, so long as no mis-shifting ( over revs) are happening

well, it turns out I have no pics so my next best thing is to link some youtube vids of her [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zYbm3FZfaQ [/media]

second event. with shitty eibach prokit suspension {bodyrolltown} I am the grey ae86 3m 26s
worth a watch for the final, I crap the bed. never to happen again with my newly installed battle version angle kit; which gave me one full turn extra, lock to lock. and BC coilovers.

wet day but you get the point. man this engine is amazing it will sizzle the tires from first to 3rd and mid drift will do a 2nd to 3rd shift no problem. I am in love...I know many of you want to see the engine so heres another video with that
