Super Jamie Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 get your tape measure out and measure the width of the diff, drum to drum, that will tell you if the diff is worth putting in. you'll need to change the mounting points to put it in a corolla struts are a good idea but you'll need different steering arms (you can find a list of steering arms over on toycrazy.net) and i'm unsure if the corona brake booster and mc fit on a corolla, people here have used a pajero mc with corona brakes. it will make the front of your car really high, so you'll need to have the struts shortened and made into coilovers. we've talked about this heaps before, search around you'll have to chop chop weld weld the crossmember and maybe the engine mounts, maybe the gearbox crossmember, maybe the tailshaft. nobody really puts R engines in corollas, they're really heavy and you muck up the handling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwarf Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 At a guess, not a great deal. They're unfortunately not a high demand item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Go something different again. Think of something that hasnt been done before. VR4 engine, even a Suzuki Swift GTi engine would be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
