SiCaln Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 bit too much for a td04 and for the car your gna need some very extensive suspension and braking mods for that Quote Link to post Share on other sites

riko666 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I have been in Dale's car when he had that engine in his car...to say it was "Mad" is an understatement, and I think he only had the K1 in at that point, or a K24, and he was having boost creep issues....but it was scary. My first and only ride (and viewing) of a Starlet GT Quote Link to post Share on other sites

riko666 Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 with regards to the Corolla gearbox...hope you know that all you'll be getting is closer gear ratios and a lower top speed right? I wanted to get it to improve economy on the motorway...but when I found out that at 70mph in 6th gear it's at pretty much the same revs as the C52, I decided against it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 that sucks!! thought id get a better top speed with the sixth gear in place. so is there any beniffit to fitting the corrola box then?? you can get better acceleration other ways doh! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
