i built that!!
That is one true sleeper, not the best looking Corolla but man, thats just a beast.
I had a 5dr G6 and that was fun, this would be just awesome.
Hope I could have money :(

yep,i bought it as a 1.6 gs then got bored of it so i decided to put in a 4age for a while, then i got bored of that too. so decided to put a 3sgte in. took 6 months to build it, ended up costing me 4500 quid to finish it!! i put celica twinpot callipers and gtfour front dampers and allsorts onit, then the yaris t sport alloys which i sprayed white, theyv even still got the paradas on them which i put onit!! dunno where he gets 300bhp from tho, i had it rolling roaded and it put out 221.6 flywheel hp. not bad for a standard engine that was only spose to be 185bhp, the car thatthe engine cum out of is still outside my house!! haha

cool, was there much of a job with the 4age conversion or just plug and play when you took out the 4afe

wasnt exactly plug n play, but mechanically it went straight in apart from making a front pipe for the exhaust. the wiring was not a plug in job, but its easy enough to splice in. the 4age harness hasnt got much wires in. power steering pipes were fairly easy but one ond of the high prerssure pipe had to be flared differently. otherwise easy peasy.

It's a small world!
what about engine mounts,, did all four of them need to be fabricated?
did you use the ae111 or ee111 chassis.
this 20 turbo builds always interest me :)

the 4age went strait in using the standard ae111 4afe engine mounts, they use the same gearbox so no problems with driveshafts and gear linkage and so on.
but as for the 3sgte, thats a secret. heheh :drive:
