Hello to all you motor heads and Toyota lovers out there. I Just joined this forum and wanted to let you all know a little about myself. I own a 77 te51 corolla SR5 lift back, which my wife and I bought new on Dec. 28th 1976 as our first new car. Its brought home all three of our kids from the hospital, taught all three to drive, brought home from 12-15 of our christmas trees, hauled many loads of lumber, ladders and it will even get a 10 ft. piece of exhaust pipe inside the hatch. It now has 251,000 plus miles on it, and I still have it and the wife and I drive the corolla to work daily. Its been driven hard and put away wet many more times than I like to admit, but as you all know its a Toyota so it just keeps on going strong. I also have a dirt track race car that I race in a class call pro 4 modified and its not only powered by a Toyota but Its almost entirely built from Toyota parts. Starlet body, 20r engine pumping out about 180 hp, truck 5 speed ,rear axle and spindles all on a tube chassis. I call it my starlet DTS ( that's dirt track special ). you can see pics of it @ www.madmanracing.net. My first car (which I still own) is a 1956 Chevrolet nomad s.w. and some day Ill get around to rebuilding it, but its been parked for 13 years now.
