Sticks' Drag Racing Corolla

As you know, to build a successful drag racing car that runs in the 9's, there needs to be the right combination of power and chassis setup.

Michael Kalaitzakis (Sticks) knows how!


Through several years of development, his car has dropped into the 9's at almost 140 mph running a best of 9.767 at 139.19mph on 26x9 tyres and Premium Unleaded Petrol at Calder Park.

At the time of writing, this is the fastest 4 Cylinder RWD radial shod car in Victoria.  Sticks is aiming to be the fastest radial 4 Cylinder RWD car in Australia.

Now, with a new rear end setup, the car has a lot more to come.

The car runs a super-tough SR20DET running:
    Fully Forged Bottom End
    HKS Valve Train
    Ported Head
    GT3540 turbo soon to be upgraded to GT-42R

Engine Management is currently a Wolf3D V4, which is soon to be upgraded to a Wolf V500 ECU to make the most of the engine/chassis combination.


BBE Automatics supplied the C10 Auto Trans and stall converter.

The Borg Warner differential and 4-link rear suspension including the half back chassis, has been carried out by All Race Fabrications. At the time of writing, the new rear end is being sorted, with lower ET's to come...
	Massively powerful and very purposeful SR20DET.
Roll Cage is all Chrome Moly, with custom fabrication of sections of floorpan and rear firewall.
