1981 Corolla SR5
 

I have found one of these in very nice condition, is it worth getting, its a 5 speed, Dual Cam, I haven't been able to find anything about these cars. I just want to know if there is anything i can do to this car and what companys offer parts and such for them. So if anybody knows anything about these cars if would greatly appreciated. Thanks ;D

Re:1981 Corolla SR5
 

i really doubt anyone is supplying parts includeing toyota. The car is way too old to really be considered for mass part making. Toyota is only required to have enought stock for parts replacement for i think 10 years and seeing that car is over 20 years old its a long shot and parts are going to be a pain to find.

I am not looking for replacement parts, i am looking for performance parts and such. I just want to know if any big companys make anything for this car, maybe apexi, hks, toms, jdm parts, stuff like, and i will be damned if i goto a dealership for anything them people are all crazy/stupid and the prices are to high.

there could be some very old performace parts for it.
I would just turbo it and if the enigine blew..just put a 2T or a 3T engine in it hehehe
