I think I speak for the majority when I say that I can't get enough of Grant Scott's AE71 Corolla.

Here's a nice little clip of the car set to the sounds of Hendrix...

Nice, I would have covered the number plate though...the way the media have been lately regarding "hoons"min Australia this might be the next vid to end up on ACA.

Yeh Cowboydave is right. Your not doing this guy any favours by posting his name or numberplate because if it leaks to one of the Current Affair shows over here. He will lose his licence and his car and might even see jail time. Please edit the video so you cant see his plates or they are blurred out.

Wouldnt worry about ACA, but the more people mention it on here the more likely they will see it.

wow - how lame is the "drifting in Japan" bullshit at the end?

As if this dude isn't doing this on Australian roads.

Speedhunters just doesn't get it, obviously.

The only way the police are going to find out, is if you keep writing things about aca in your replys. If they do a simple google search thanks to you guys whining about being caught, is likely to lead to the very thing your whining about.

You dont think aca will type stuff into google and look for this kinda stuff.

Loose lips sink ships.

Good to see you using your car grant! Using it well too.

Grant Scott said:

Thanks Beally, thats pretty much what i meant.

Kolbotn Kid, a ke70 is a 4kc powered 1.3 carby motor, and an ae71 is a 4ac 1.6 carby which shares the same gearbox & crossmember as a 4age motor, so basically any 4a motor can plonk straight in.

Grant Scott said:

Yea Ze's are always very rough, as soon as you put a FMIC on there is no hope of having a consistant idle. Mine is quite level, but its constantly sitting at 2000rpm... yea, the neighbours love it....

My spare wheels are performance wheels, im guessing theyre an enkei copy or something... cheap wheels, good size, they do the trick.
