what about engine transplant? Is 4AGE20v sufficient? or SC?

blacktop,
That was the ST171 Corona in the pic. It originally comes with the 2.0
litre 3S-FE engine, so the 4A series will not fit w/o mods to the engine
mountings. With this body, you'd want to go for the 3S series, i.e the 3S-
GTE (2 lit. turbo) from the Celica or Caldina halfcuts.
Regards.

blacktop,
Nothing much to talk about nowadays, everyone's talking about their Altis
le, Vios le, where got ppl talk about oldies anymore.
I think u've mistaken me with Tai low KevinC le; he's the one with the GTE
Corona, I'm only using a pathetic NA 3S-GE that no one even talks about.
Pricey?? I don't think so le....the 3S-GTE halfcuts only goes for about
2.8k; thereabouts which is similiar to the GZE mar.

st150,
Ohh.. your one is 3s-ge, what is your original engine?
I thought, 3sgte is around 7k but I have not checked chopshop yet.I don't
own a st171 yet but planning to do so.Maybe st150 like yours also a good
choice. I'm still comparing galant VR4,old cefiro RB20 & st171.For sure
I'm not going for big modification as budget is too tight but need little
bit of power compare to it's original.

st185 3s-gte price down to 2.8k ? That's a good buy then. Previously was
3k+. st205 3s-gte is still around 5k+ i think.

kevinc,
my fren recently bought 1 for (st185) for 2.8k & another RC model for
2.6k ! Lucky fellas.. I may go for the St205 model lar..255 ps wor, very
tempting lar but price...ahem.
blacktop,
I'd not advise u to go for the model like mine 'coz it's too old. idid
mine 'coz I had no choice or in other words, no $$$ lor. The 171, or the
A31 Cefiro's also a good choice, I think but the Galant VR4's body's a
little heavy, I think but the good part is it can be a 4WD, unlike both
the Cefiro FR & 171 Corona, only 2WD FF. I'd dream to have a 4WD & the
cheapest conversion should be the Nissan Bluebird U 11, 12 or 13 (Altima).
Just dump in the SR-20 version of it & voila, a budget 4WD.

2.8k for std and 2.6k for RC model ?! sure boh so cheap st185 RC
model should have water/air intercooler and much more expensive. Your
frens got it from setiawan ar, why so cheap wan stuff over there
Actually there's 4WD st170 model from Jap. Local assemble are FWD st171.
So, corona in Japs are mostly 4WD, to get better traction in snowy road
conditions.
