PHOBIA 86' Toyota Corona. Getting Bagged. Mon, 22 August 2005 01:38 Go to previous message
How are ya troops? I just thought I would give you a little bit of back ground on my Corona that I have been building for quite some time. Actually, I've owned the Corona for 9 years after buying it of my Nan, that's right, my Nan in 1996. I drove the thing stock on my L's and into my P's and then the usual mods began, wheels, exhaust, suspension and so on. It wasn't until about 1999 that things started to get a little out of hand when the first "shitter" was bough to drive around in while I was working on the Corona.

I'll leave allot of the middle out as there was a fair bit of trial and error, fitting, changing or just sitting there doing nothing. Actually, it sat in a spray shop for 3 years doing nothing. The whole time I was always questioned about why would I build a Corona, and a 1986 Corona at that? This just inspired me, gave me the drive I needed to finish the car and finish it properly, to have a car that it different to the majority.

Following are a few select pics of the car and how it has progress. It has really been the last 18 months that the car has progressed and I can tell you that it is almost finished. The two major items on the to do list are suspension works, I will probably "bag it" so that I can bring a little bit of practability into driving it and still retaining the supper low stance that looks owe so hot when on show and a Garret GT35-40 hair dryer. The current set up is producing its max HP at 4200rpm and than the turbo is restricting flow causing a loss of power after that. We have put a lot into the engine, both in development and quality and will hopefully have it producing 350hp at the treads before the end of the year. The new flange for the manifold is already made and sitting there ready to weld onto the custom manifold, so as soon as I have the funds and the time available to tune it, that job will begin

Enjoy the photos and I will update this page regularly.

Sorry about the dodgy photos, but this shows the slow 12 month build up of the engine in no particular order.

Here are some pics of third paint job this Corona has received. It now retains its white base coat with 5 coats of House of Kolor green fleck with 7 coats of clear to seal in the goodness. Gives of a sparkly green effect in the light.
