Actually the engine bays (and the entire front quarter of the cars) are identical (assuming identical engines, obviously the 7AFE sits ~20mm higher than the 4AFE)

Subject: Re: engine swap, will it fit!? Sun Jul 07, 2013 11:39 pm

this is just copied from another forum its posted by the same lad who owns the 4wd one

This covers models ae92,ae101,ae102,ae111etc
For monting a 3s-gte into the corollas above for fwd.
For the mount on the timing belt side engine mount use a Rav4 3sge mount.
For the gearbox side use a avensis 2.0L mount
For the engine cradle forward mount use std corolla
For the engine cradle rear mount redrill and use a few washers.
For the gear box use one from the mr2 turbo with st185 gt 4 gear selector linkage.
Drives use levin or mk1 mr2 agze ones.

ah! thats the only photo i got atm haha.

Subject: Re: engine swap, will it fit!? Mon Jul 08, 2013 9:23 am

Looks clean, what kit does it have? Hope you can get more pictures up soon.

Subject: Re: engine swap, will it fit!? Mon Jul 08, 2013 9:28 am

i have no idea what kit. i like the clean nice look not the "everyone look at me" kind
i'll get a couple later after a wash, the interior is decent but got more plans for that.
it sounds nice running , sometimes shoots flames out the pipe down shifting as a driver behind me was concerned about it.
i mostly got the car the way it is. everything was there i just sorted it out.

Subject: Re: engine swap, will it fit!? Mon Jul 08, 2013 9:37 am

So are you planning on keeping the kit or going for the subtle JDM look. You should post up a build thread in the saloon section Very Happy

Subject: Re: engine swap, will it fit!? Mon Jul 08, 2013 10:38 am

Interesting, never saw a kit like that before.

Subject: Re: engine swap, will it fit!? Mon Jul 08, 2013 11:01 am

Think I'll keep the kit. I haven't seen one like it anywhere. I think it's custom cause there is clearance ishes only on one side from The fiberglassing been out of line.
I might go over it with a plasti dip. Electric blue carbon fiber look bonnet. Black trims. Need a mesh grill
But that will come when I want to feed it money haha

l will post a build when I do it dunno when

Subject: Re: engine swap, will it fit!? Mon Jul 08, 2013 1:57 pm

You do need to post more pics Smile

Subject: Re: engine swap, will it fit!? Mon Jul 08, 2013 5:42 pm

Subject: Re: engine swap, will it fit!? Mon Jul 08, 2013 6:28 pm

Wow that's insane! I can't believe it, tail lights I have never seen before!! wow. That body kit is crazy lol, I'm not a fan, but it's unique. I do like the interior!

Subject: Re: engine swap, will it fit!? Tue Jul 09, 2013 11:23 am

I like the kit and loving the hidden reverse lights, not such a fan of the interior.
Awesome work though

Subject: Re: engine swap, will it fit!? Tue Jul 09, 2013 12:46 pm

Aren't there white reverse lights in the tail lights? Why aren't they working?
