my 3sgte corolla

just some thing i have been thinking about mate, will give it a good blast up pod next month sure that will give me a bit more enthusiasm to get the other engine re built

hopefully it will

hi john, do you have a build thread on your corolla? (with photos)

hey joh, does the 4wheel diff fits right on? pr needs fabrication?

sorry for late reply sorry no build thread and its front wheel drive with mr2 turbo box cheers john

Car looking great mate, Loved it since i first saw it on the other toyota website. What happened to the bodykit you used to have on it?

i think he wanted it to look more oem, which is better

Sold it mate as ishaq said wanted the oem look back

I agree it looks so much better. I'm going for the same sort of look with mine.

PERFECT!!!

Have you got any pic of the engine swap Before, during and after.

no mate sorry can take any pics of how it is now though if you need any

Please mate such as mount location, and fittings etc and any advice of where to start such as what to remove first.

If I could just nip over and see you and your car when ever I was unsure it would be alot easier lol.

Thanks.

if you are going down paul, i wouldnt mind coming along too , all upto john though.. or maybe you 2 can come over to manchester when Yankee comes over.. have a proper photoshoot

when i done mine mate i ripped out old engine and box left all origanal wiring fitted 3s engine and box then i made brackets ect to bolt it in im using fiesta turbo front and rear bottom mounts(i wouldnt go down that route though as im sure you can use a selection of other toyta mounts and it bolts in dont hold me to that though sure i read it on toc irland) once bolted in then come wiring im still using corolla alt wiring and speed sensor(as plug is the same)and reverse switch(plug the same) and starter motor you need the pin out data of the ecu you fitting and the std one for the car(if you un bolt ecu and look at the circuit board were the plug goes on they should be there) you will find most of wires go from engine straight to ecu and then its pipe work and fittings will get some pics of bay for you will be tomorrow now your welcome to come over when ever suits you mate as its easier to see

ishaq its still in my lock up with a brocken cv joint from last year when i get time to sort cv joint will put her up for sale on here if that ok with you how you car been goin to mate?

Ok mate, thanks will keep an eye out.

Does your car have a sunroof?

Is there any more information you have on the car you can post. I am really interested in buying the car for myself and combining the two builds maybe with the best of both.

When are you thinking of selling it? I have loved this car since i first saw it on TOC back when i had my e10 in that colour, so to think i may be in with a chance to own it is immence.

Thanks bridgy.
