*puts hand up* New member :P
Recently, myself and 3 mates bought a 1983 KE70 with the marvellous(ly average) 4K-C motor in quite good condition. Well, mechanically the car is actually quite good. There's bodywork that needs to be fixed up, but some bog and the tin of matched paint that the guy gave to us with the car should help solve that pretty quick.
Plans are for a 4A-GE conversion, though when we'll actually be able to get our hands on it is another question. Of of the guys was going to upgrade his RX7 to a 13BT, and suggested putting the current 13b in the corolla. It'd be awesome, but lots of work, considering this is the first time any of us have done an engine transplant. 4A-GE means we need AE71/86 engine/gearbox crossmembers, but hopefully that won't be too much of an issue. Gearbox will probably just be a T50 as long as we can find one, otherwise it'll be the K50, sedately driven until we find a T50.
If anyone knows a good place to find either a 4A-GE in decent cond or a T50.. I'd appreciate any help at all! Now registered on KE70.com, twincam.org, Toymods, AE82 Owners Club and here for the majority of my research and searching for parts.
I currently drive a 1995 K11 Nissan Micra, but I really can't wait to put something a little more powerful into this little RWD car :dance:
