woofer212 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Posted September 22, 2009 I recently happened apon an 84 celica gts. will the rear end, front and rear brakes transmission(car was equiped with a 5 speed), and pedal set work on my 80 corolla (has 3tc and auto transmission) ? Quote
woofer212 Posted September 22, 2009 Author Report Posted September 22, 2009 ok i posted this in the wrong forum b4 i think. but anyway, will the rear end, front brakes, trans and pedal set from a 1984 celica fit on my 1980 corolla hatchback? Quote
parrot Posted September 22, 2009 Report Posted September 22, 2009 Well I am guessing you are in the US?????? You need to give more info, at a bare minimum, the chassis codes and engine types. Quote
silverra23 Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 Like parrot said in the other forum - what are the chassis codes for your Corolla and the Celica? I would hazard a guess and say the pedals won't fit. However the rest of it could probably be made to fit. How handy are you as a mechanic/fabricator? Quote
woofer212 Posted September 23, 2009 Author Report Posted September 23, 2009 i don't know the chassis cod eof the celica its just an 84 celica coupe gts. my car is a te72 with 3tc and auto trans. the celica has 22re and 5 speed trans Quote
woofer212 Posted September 23, 2009 Author Report Posted September 23, 2009 (edited) ok just learned the rear end wont work its a celica gts with irs. i was told the 3tc and 22re use the same transmission? i can make the clutch pedal work as long as the master cylinder is close to the correct size. i have good fab mechanical skills and acess to a car lift and welding equipment i have no idea the chassis codes for the celica why would there be more than one kind of 84 celica gts coupe? my car is a te72 Edited September 23, 2009 by woofer212 Quote

It's in the engine bay on the firewall. Quote
woofer212 Posted September 23, 2009 Author Report Posted September 23, 2009 Chassis number isn't hard to see... It's in the engine bay on the firewall. I'm not going half way across town to get a chassis code number. if you guys can't ell me what will and will not fit buy the year and trim model you can't help me at all. i don't know how things work in other countries but all you need to buy parts here is a year model and trim lvl.

silverra23 Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 Ah yes, the way to get good help from a community is to get fired up and angry at them. Welcome to rollaclub champ. Your attitude will see you go far. Reality is that a 1984 chassis in the USA may well be what we consider a 1983 or a 1985 Celica over here. Your model years work different to ours as far as I know. In 1983 I am pretty sure its a cross over year between the RA4* and RA6* chassis. Never mind, if you can weld and are good mechanically, you can fit that engine and gearbox to your Corolla. Given the abundance of performance parts for the 22R engine over there in the States, its probably not a bad thing to do, though they are still a truck motor. Quote

I drove 2 hours to get the chassis code its an ra-65. Quote
silverra23 Posted October 1, 2009 Report Posted October 1, 2009 It won't be just a bolt in, but your parts will fit if you are prepared to make mods to cross members etc. Quote
