s13 stuff must be do-able........?

best mod for the corona would be wheels for sure

[ecko]

problem is finding ms65 parts here in tassie

[<cozzy>]

yep s13 is defantly do-able...
and less work than hilux brake conversion

[CELICASUPRA7M]

Prob even harder than finding MA61 rims in TAS in good condition!

btw.... MA61 rims would look great on a rona

Don't know about the tie rods but you asked for anything about ST141 Corona's?

My ST141 had the 2.0L 2SC (with carby) engine in it.
If fitting extractors and sports exhaust system for these engines,
you must remove the air pump belt otherwise sometimes it will cause a VERY LOUD
backfire every time you back off the accelerator (while changing gears or engine braking).
The air pump was there for emissions standards, it did not affect my engine at all when it was removed and got rid of the annoying backfires.

Cheers,
raffy

a 2s will run fine will no emission system at all... only need the vac line from the carbi to the dizzy and your larfen

This is a deceptively hard conversion.

You pretty much need a complete RT142 to transplant EVERYTHING from.

Crossmember / Brake master / Brake lines (from the firewall forward) / Fuel lines / fuel tank / loom / ECM etc....

Plus all the big things like the motor / gearbox / tailshaft etc.
