All the Tercels are front wheel drive. Would be like making a civic rwd V8... which has been done. And Tercels were never very good looking IMO.

The one I got is the Falcon Zero F170HD+
Here's my initial voyage.

It does full 1080p resolution, but I had it turned down to 720p... The video looked better initially, but I think the Microsoft video editing software I was using to stitch the videos together and remove my actual speed reduced the quality of the final product.

Driftworks has an AE86 Corolla drift car with an LS7....
2JZ and 1JZ swaps have been shoved in everything. I work with an guy that has a 1JZGTTE in a Toyota Cressida... which is not too difficult, considering it came new with a 5MZ 2.8 liter inline6, almost exactly the same physical size as a JZ motor.
TE71 and older Corolla's (and Toyota pickups) have a short engine bay that makes the JZ series motors a bit long, unless you're willing to have part of it in the cabin with you or put a lot of weight out front.
The idea with using an V8, for me at least, has more to do with the over all length of the assembly, and not having to cut out as much of the firewall, and still be able to maintain some creature comforts like heat and A/C. A/C far more than heat, as I'm in Texas!

Still have my heart set on a v10 diesel from a Toureg though.
Ultimately I don't have the money or time do anything to it right now though, so it shall continue sitting.


I am looking at Volvo C30's as a new daily driver though. Found some really good deals on low miles ones in Dallas, I like the funky Volvo hatchback look of them.

I've seen several of those... of course, I work across the street from BMW of Dallas.

Not sure how I really feel about them yet, because historically BMW is really stupid about electricity. They are nice looking though.

Not as nice as this!

The people, not the machines.

For a first weld, that's pretty good... at least compared to mine, which literally looked like a pile of bird sh*t.
