Yep, that'd be it. A guy on RollaClub who lives down south has tried R32 rims on his new Corolla and they looked pretty hot, but just needed about another inch in diameter. And due to the RWD-style offset it made the car look fat, and gunmetal rims on a black/gunmetal car looked hot as!

What the f@$k is a zook??? :)

 

I like the front of the new Corolla hatch, but HATE the rear. I saw a sedan on the street the other week and thought it was a Camry until it got a bit closer. The only really good thing about the new Corolla is the motor, as it can be taken out to at least 2.0L (but it's REALLY long stroke if you do that) and it comes standard with a six speed now. The six speed is the same series as the five speed used in all FWD Corollas, and I think it's almost exactly the same as the one used in the last Celica, Corolla Sportivo, and AE111 Sprinter/Levin.

Different bellhousing of course, but the internals should be swapable. I've even heard that the six speed internals can be put in most (possibly all) C-series five speed cases. That rules your MR2 out though Shane - it's should have an E-series as it's the supercharged one. The N/A model had the C-series.

Nah, the early ones had a two-stroke engine of some kind (like the one we might be getting used to have), eventually they came with the G13A or G16A motor. The advantage of this is you can swap the G13B head onto the G16A bottom and make a 1.6L Swift GTi motor. Or take go with the 4A-GE option, which also gives heaps of grunt. I have to wonder about a G16B though, as the G13B had 100kW in Jap spec from a 1.3L, so a 1.6L version should make about 123kW - that's 20v or 4A-GZE power!

I don't think there's a big difference between any of the models. I don't know about bolting straight in either. I haven't researched the swap myself, but the info will be out there if you're keen to look.
