November 2, 201312 yr comment_670794 hi, new here so forgive me if this has been covered! ive just read up about engine swap laws in qld but still have a few questions... i have a AE93 corolla seca, bought it cheap as about 2 years ago, my wife drove it and its a great little car and has now become my daily, ive lowered it, removed the ac system-damaged in an accident, and today fixed (partly) an exhaust leak... now the real question! the mechanic next to my work has a 2002 corolla with a blown motor and apparently good 5 speed box, hes willing to part with it for around $300, itll need a rebuild which is fine-dad is a mechanic so help isnt a real worry, but I'm wondering if this engine the 1.8 5 speed will go into my ae93 auto... ill put in the new computer, pedals, motor, gearbox, brakes-basically the whole lot-i like the shape of my 93 its grown on me! so I'm wondering so as long as i upgrade the brakes and use the driveline of the newer car i should be good so far as the new laws go right? any help/advice would be massively appreciated-also would the mounts fit or will i need new ones or ones made up? cheers!

November 2, 201312 yr Author comment_670797 turns our after some research it looks to be a 2000 model, so it should be a 1ZZ-FE engine+gearbox thanks! Report

November 2, 201312 yr Author comment_670825 Yeah I was told it was an '02 so not sure exactly, I'll have a better look tomorrow after work... Thanks though Report

November 3, 201312 yr comment_670829 Do you know what the car looks like? Fairly obvious differences between both the two models and the two engines AE112 (if it's a 2000) 7AFE (which the AE112 will have) ZZE122 (if it's a 2002) 1ZZFE Report
November 3, 201312 yr Author comment_670864 Yeah the first one,7afe which must be pretty similar to the 4afe which I currently have? So the swap should be pretty straight forward...? Report
November 5, 201312 yr Author comment_671050 http://forums.club4ag.com/zerothread?id=52200 Found this, so really should be pretty straight forward... Is an auto to manual swap pretty easy if I have the complete car right next to me? Report
