My opinion is...

 

1. Clean the car up

2. Get suspension in it and get very used to the way it handles until you are happy with that

3. Start planning your conversion and BRAKES

 

This means talking to engineers, fabricators and your local transport authority FIRST.

The brakes are 4 wheel discs! I lock em up by accident sometimes lol (yeah i'm stupid)

Ok, Few things about the 3SFE RWD setup.

 

There was 1 vehicle, in australia, from new, that came out with a genuine 3sfe, RWD setup.

It was in a van.. i can't remeber what is called (had some in at work) - They use a W Box, looks like a similar design diff from an early tarago or hilux.

 

2S Manual Boxes in coronas are actually quite strong, for what they are; despite what is said, and or floating around the interent. Ive got some data at work to back that up, but i cbf trying to remember it or type it.

 

hmmm, wheres that toyota mag i was reading...

(has hand up) i know the one.

you're right teddy it is a van and it's a spaica, yes a townace, same as the 7k powered ones.

they also came out with a 3sfe in them. i think the coding is SR50G

i think i have a engine at work from one.

but they are RWD with a W series box.

so does that mean its an easy source for a s-w bellhousing?

or even an already rwd 3s, not that most people would poke a xxfe engine with a stick when theyre doing a conversion, but still its an interesting thought

rotor boys regularly put 9 second passes through corona 4 speed boxes they buy from the wreckers. on the odd occasion when one actually does break, they're cheap as dirt to replace. the only bad thing about them is the 4-speed-ness, and they get a bit of a sloppy shift when they're old

 

these are known as a steel case toyota box, the transmission code is W40

 

to the original poster: research the hilux/peugeot front brake upgrade. that will make your car stop excellently!

 

personally, i'd consider handling more fun than power. you do need a little bit of poke, so you can actually use the suspension. power without handling is frustrating to drive, but it gets you street cred at the traffic lights

by this reckoning you should also be able to pick up a w50 for not too much then aswell?, but the newer w boxes are alot stronger than these, but these boxes definitely sound good enough for most of us

Ok, Yes, TRD Brother Beat me to it :) - Its a Spacia !
