    don't know about the corona but the hilux is alot of fun!!
    alot of people say that the supra with the 1g was too heavy, so a corona would be abit lighter than a supra you'd think.

    any other mods?

    nothing engine wise atm. its just a stock gen3.
    i now have a single turbo kit for it which will be fitted once i get around to doing the head gasket aswell

    but the engine made nice power and with a clutch kick in 2nd would provide a good skid lol

    1GGTE T14* Coronas have definitely been done, pretty sure Farkunell had one at one stage

    EDIT: found his For Sale thread, fairly sure someone else on here owns it now (or has owned it since), not sure if there's a members thread or not

    Why would you want such a hypo engine in a mediocre platform?




    Does a 2JZGTE not fit?

    a 1ggte in my celica supra is very good, at nearly 300kgs lighter than the MK3 supra it came out of is a big big difference. Even a factory 1ggte, with larger exhaust and a FMC you'd be shitting on heaps of cars
