Engine converting 8thgens to rwd or awd

converting 8thgens to rwd or awd

could it be done and how much would it cost? i know ford and peugot convert the focus and 207 to rwd for WRC but what about a corolla?

anything can be done, but it's not cheap.

$1700 for the JDM AWD conversion kit plus cost of transmission from what I've heard.

I know. Maybe one day once I've picked up another car and have a better paying job, I'll consider it for myself.

How come Ive never heard of this AWD conversion kit lol

that is pretty tempting. but that is only for the kit doesnt include labor and ect

Its not really a kit, like a turbo kit that you can buy off ebay or anything....its just the parts you need. Im sure labor will be a far cry from cheap...or affordable for that matter. If your lucky, maybe $8k for labor if you give the mechanic head...

im sorry, but thats just gay, lol

Their AE111 is only FWD. Some sick cars though

i'd do this if i won the lottery... teehee.

"fastest corolla"

there is a AWD Kit for the 98-02 bodystyle and i know because its the same as the Japanese version on the JP version has different sheetmetal but overall length and width and specs are close if not the same to the us version. and that kit is 1700 plus the cost of the tranny, fensport utilizes similar parts from over here and makes with they have in thier heads, for those of you who remember the corolla Alltrac, the system used on this current corolla is basically the same but with better advantages than the older setups.

yeah because i told you too hehe.

Couldn't you use the 4WD drivetrain from the Matrix?

then look at their celica... its the closest thing anyone has done to an AWD 8th gen corolla.

just trying to emphasize my point, lol...I however do not condone such acts in any way or at least I hope thats what other people got out of it n didnt take me seriously, lol...

yep the same parts are used in that one that are used for the corolla's version.

Possibly

someone wanna experiment with this?

lol^

I will if fensport does not come through with what i am looking for.

wheres teh DOC!!!

probably off massaging rogaine into his balding scalp...

it's funny how fensport doesn't post prices on their web-site... i wonder what that 3S-GTE powered AE102 cost to build.

this is a shot in the dark here... but i think that you may be able to piece together engine mounts from the 5th gen celica seeing as how they came with both the Xafe and the 5sfe. im going to say that it could be accomplished for less than a few thousand dollars if you could manage wiring and a little fabrication.

Dr. Weak might have done a 3sgte swap... hopefully he will chime in with some experience.

WHAT#@!%@!#% Please tell me where I can buy the kit and the trans I'll do it.

Talk to 01RollaS. He's the one who told me about it.

dont take it personal, he doesnt. im just getting in my sucker punches where i can... while, for the most part, still trying to stay on topic.
