hey ive come across a toyota 5R engine as fair as i no its a 2 litre and came out off a toyota dyna. and anything else anyone knows will be greatly appreciated. I'm mainly just wounding if anyone noes of them being converted into early corolla's and what sort of gearboxs bolt up an also if it is a worthwhile conversion? Thanks, Corey

Yeh sounds good an the idea just come up cause i got offered one cheap so thought id see if anyone new

Hey am thinking of gettin a 82 celica but the front is ugly and i then started thinkin of how it reminds me of a sprinter. So to the point has anyone ever swapped a front over maybe with an ae82 corolla ?? or herd of somethin similar

have you thought about taking out the lca's and cutting them and welding some box tube in the gap there fore extending the lca? just remember everythin is designed to work together so by changing one thing you are effecting others.

basic for drifting before you try to get into any competing is a ridgid ride (tough suspension) good hand brake and big power but honestly get in your stock corolla find some good dirt trakes out bush and flog the hell out of it until you understand the car and can control it its all practice and once you think your good enough then power it up something crazy but there is no point trying to drift a high powered car if you can't even control a stock rolla

ok fair enough thanks heaps for the help :)

why will this be more complicated?? is it not a straight bolt up, do you have to change the bell housing? thanks

thanks what would be the best box to put behind a rwd 4age

just had abit of a read in the FAQ/wiki section but didnt help me to much so i was just wondering in the old hiaces with the 3y engine, do the gearboxs bolt up to the k or a blocks if so is it worth it as i am guessing they'd be geared different beening a van thanks, corey

yeh old greg is a good fella haha i have the workshop manual. but it doesnt mention the 5 speed unfortunatly. anyway thanks all for the help muchly appreciated and just to let you no the trusty four speed is back in and i found bits of metal just hangin out in my 5 speed :S who invited them...

new problem i filled it up but it went straigh through and is coming out from a rubber grommet thing at the front of the bottom of the box in the plate you unbolt at the bottom to change the filter or whatever

very nice. what carbys are you using ?

yeah i recon it is the rear seal as it was oily and it looks like the oil has sprayed around underneat via the tail shaft and i no it is empty as i had it jacked up and removed the speedo gear and no oil came out might be time to put the good old 4 speed back in

sorry I'm not sure i just got the box out of another rolla (ke55) and its behind a 4k how do i tell what it is

i have already tried it just came off and the rest of my spanners are at my lazy mates house he borrowed them but still hasnt used them so i havnt got them back yet haha
