| my name is jay, im new hear since im on researching on how to do the swap on my corolla, originally im planning for 4afte swap but friend who owns the engine changed his mind on selling it to me and plans to use it on his own corrolla, and there was this guy who's selling his 3sgte with axles/driveshaft and front big disk brakes (i dont know the eng rev yet) for a bargain so i might as well buy and install that one. and the build thread ill be working on that once i geta' hold of the 3sgte.
already met miib14 on the 3sgte room, nice guy. cheers! | |

| Yes, that is (was) my Corolla! I did have to cut the front bumper in half and remove a couple inches, then refit it back together and it fit beautifully!  | |

| 650$?? how about the holes where the screws meets the fender? are they aligned? and the curve of the fender to the bumper? do you have any side view photo? and where are you from? is the price of the bumper from malaysia is cheaper than getting one from your place? | |

| I'm not sure I have much of a picture of the side, but here you can see how perfectly the bumper matches the fenders, lights, grille, everything. It is the same exact shape.  I did have to drill holes in the fender/bumper to put screws through, but that is easy Why don't I work on my DIY and put it up shortly | |
