    Default 79 Corona

    Ok so Hopefully i get this corona in the next 24 hours (ebay).
    I keep it short. It will get a engine conversion of a 1uzfe ( ok with Ncop regs as its 4.0ltr max is 4.3) Now with this you need brake upgrade and id say suspension aswell.
    I really want to keep it all toyota parts so what can i swap out the rear to get disc brakes. Also being toyota id guess there would be a swap for upgrading the front suspension aswell

    rt130. wit its starfire goodness.
    Just picked it up. its auto so its slow But when you select gear the revs drop as if its a miss fire but as soon as you bring the revs up to drive its fine.
    Aint had a real good gander at it but i suspect its over fuelling

    Actually, for accuracy it'd be an XT130, not an RT

    Personally I think a Disc brake rear end may not be needed, in reality about 70% of the braking force / effort is done by the front brakes, a good Rear drum setup is fine & will work well & as its the rear fade is not really going to be a concern .. If you still want to go disc rear a Toyota RT142 Avante disc rear end may be close, ( you will need to look for around a 85 model the last of the solid / Non IRS rear ends ) but its unlikely it will be a straight rear end swap & diff wise possibly not much stronger than what you already have ...

    I would be looking at fronts up grades only for the moment & as has been said I think you are going to have issues with fitting a 1UZ in with the steering box set up .. I would be looking at a Beams engine or maybe a 1JZ Goodness, but length is going to be an issue there ..

    ditching the 1uzfe engine idea and just gonna plonk another 4cyl motor in it.
    Ive got a 3sgte front cut from a lexus lined up just waiting for tax money to come in and i'll buy it. Main reason for the change is i dont have alot fo time to muck around trying to fit a v8 into it. So stay tuned as i'll update when i buy it which will hopefully be next sat

    Oh and the 1x starfire is pretty much dead. Compression is all over the shop so its nothing more then a boat anchor. May just donate it to the local tafe for people to learn on

    No Lexus ever had a 3SGTE standard (and no 3SGTE was front-engine/rear-wheel-drive, they were all transverse), in fact no Lexus has a 3S standard at all (the 3SGE BEAMS was technically in a Toyota Altezza)
