Good to know.. Thanks.. The way i see it the TE's are rare over here too; with our disposable lifestyles and all. I spent 4 months looking for the right one (not the most respected vehicle after all). Any wheel size recommendations? I'm having a hard time finding out what fits.

Ya, I know. Still trying to find a good way to upload the pics. Suggestions???

Long time toyota fanatic thats new to corollas. I'm looking for some insight...... I've got a very nice TE-31 that is in desperate need for some go fast parts. I'm no stranger to toyotas however I've always been more of a truck guy so this is the first corolla I've pursued as a project. The questions are as follows: Modify my 2TC or install a 5VZ? Thoughts - my 2TC has an automatic (unacceptable) and its fairly old. To keep it i would need a w50 (might be more work than its worth) Counter thoughts - Ive owned several pickups and i have 2 5VZ's laying around - including a complete 2wd R150 drive train with all the bits. Despite the weight difference (considering the front suspension) is there any performance reasons this V6 would be a bad swap? - its a low RPM motor (not ideal) - lots of torque - supercharger and turbo options - nice fitment Would it be sacrilege to venture away from the venerable 2tc and 3tc recipes? --- my general direction for the project---- Something fast for around town and weekend drives; the basic sleeper. I'm not looking for an 11 second car, however, I'd like to stir up the occasional hot rodder. thanks for the insight
