Lol this thread took off on a tangent!! Sorry to disappoint, it wasn't a Cortina, the TC stood for Twin Cam, I had an AE82 Corolla for years with the 4AGE engine, factory 7700rpm redline and a sweet note from the straight through exhaust, it was full of rust but I loved driving through the Adelaide hills in that thing! I was on a few car forums with that as a user name and it just kind of stuck. I sold it a while back as I bought my dream car from my teens, a GT-Four Celica

A Corolla....wow talk about an anti climax alright!! Naa I'm pulling ya leg. Is that a 6 cylinder Celica?

[stan]

no but the GT 4 was turbo and all wheel drive - at the time was the WRC championship car, very cool

[stan]

me neither Wokka

Stan got it in one, pretty much the fore runner to every boy racer's wet dream, the WRX, but way cooler, and much more rare! I think they are a bit of an under appreciated car right now, there's not many around so they tend to be a bit forgotten about.

we might as well rename this a car thread haha
I got a WRX-head workmate he owns 3, he has a rare 22B which was imported from Japan only a few hundred built. Been for a ride and goes like a shower

[stan]

the ST185 paved the way but I loved the ST205

one of my favourite rally cars



I have a home built golf turbo

The 22B was an awesome bit of kit, probably the peak WRX model, after that they seemed to get a bit fat and soft. The 205 was the one I really wanted, but only 77 were sold in Australia, so they are still pricey, I was happy to settle for the 185 though
