glanzadude Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I have to say i quite like it and you woukd be nuts to mess with it, Just drive it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Wow what a read. You need to tax it when you register it and provide DVLA with the MOT cert. amongst other things too. So as zurgie said he is correct. Either way, enjoy the car! Hopefully you find the bits you need to do the swap Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alot of strange toyotas and lexus, the owner was an undertaker and travelled to japan alot, for what reason i dont know, he just liked buying them and shipping them home. He was getting a new fleet of vehicles so needed his indoor premises cleared out. If people must know, i paid 1300 quid for it, it was advertised at 1700 but was haggled down with regards to the costs of mot and registering it. Not a price i would consider over the odds at all for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daniel_g Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 It comes with the Corolla style manifold standard as it uses the Gen3 FE engine. You will also have a different ECU, wasted spark coil setup, fine spray navy / dark green injectors, a 4 wire o2 sensor (eco/emissions) The 4wd transfer box would probably bolt to the bellhousing of an OEM LSD gearbox. Same bolt / stud pattern. The 4wd manual diff very different to a regular FWD manual diff, its about 150% larger diameter and has a splined extension into the transfer box. Chances are, you'll need one. Do let us know how you get on though, if there is a quick fix we'd like to know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
