Ae86 SR1 Bonneville project (Toyota Corolla + 998cc motorbike engine)

So, this isn't an eco build, bu there was some interest on another thread (Link: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...geo-15091.html) so I figured I'd start a thread on it.

My goal is to race at Bonneville and set a land speed record. The class is an I/GC which means I sized engine in a Gas Coupe chassis. An I engine is displacement limited to 62 ci (1016cc) and Gas Coupe is a production coupe or sedan that seats four in it's original configuration and has limited aero mods (mostly just an air dam and lowering is allowed, no spoiler, no grill block, no belly pan).

For what I had in mind, I wanted the smallest, most aerodynamic car I could find with RWD...

For $500.

Hey, I've got big ambitions here, but I'm a guy with a family working on a tight budget on my own in my cramped garage.

Enter the Corolla:
