Default The fensport Corrola

Not sure if you guys have heard of Fensport over here in the US. They are a toyota tuning specialist, and have created the ultimate Corrola... ****, I;'d go as far as ay one of the ultimate tuned cars of all time!!

It is nothing to lok at. Nice wheels, and a bit of a bodykit, but not in your face, and certainly not pretentuious. Would you believe it has 650+ bhp, and tops out at over 200mph, WITH awd!!? All from a 3S-GTE engine, (thats the same as found in Japanese MR2 Turbo's, and Celica GT-4's).



The engine. 650 bhp... 650 great big friggin horsies!!



Their car page... All of the chaps that work there get to experiment, etc, with the products, creating some damn tasty cars. Some are not much to lok at, but they go like sh@t off a stick!

Their website...

m As I said, at a recent event in the UK, ( I think it was V-max), they had 1.25 miles to get a top speed time through the traps. They clocked 200.4 mph, from a corrolla.. A CORROLLA!!!

Like that body style - we don't get that one in "the colonies". We have the Matrix, instead.

Just scrolled down after posting. Panda was way ahead of me.

( Note to me; READ POSTS FIRST! )

Drag run with one of their other cars. 600 bhp celica GT-4 (think they are called 4-trac in US though)

Video clip of the Corolla launch...

The Celica... 600+ bhp!





These are the chaps that i bought all my gubbins off for my MR2 Turbo, tuned to a conservative 300bhp, and about 290 ft/lbs of torque, the love of my life for about 4 years! . really are the best toyota peeps in the UK!! (Cue me remeniscing about my dearly beloved mista2! [X(])






My car on the MR2OC stand at JAE a few years back, showing someone the friggin huge trunk, considering at was mid engined!
