To Coupe, Or Not To Coupe, That Is The Question

[nerfbat]

so, I'm hoping to have certain member's '35 soon, with the plans of either it or my pano to go in the shed, for my ground up rebuild,

doing properly, like a lot of the secksee beasts, on our site here.

which one you think?

the '35 would be clean, like chesti's, with a rotor, methinks.

pano would be clean, like crowie's, sorta, with a SC5K or even a rotor..

NFI..

the pano runs out of rego soon, so i eitehr renew it and use it like i have been, or de rego it and shed her, ground up rebuild..

suggestions on which or even engine choice, appreciated.

want ease of install RE engine swap too :-)

you know my thoughts on this topic zow :wink:

[go baby go]

Depends on what you want the final result to be? Do you want a daily cruzer to get the groceries in or do you want a weekend warrior for the street and strip? I say go the coupe.

Does it matter what use of the car, I drive mine everywhere and everytime?

 

I say chop the pano into a ute, and you buy an ally crossmembers for rotors for around $300

And put a roll cage in it

Nooo :o

 

haha yes it does depend on what you want to do i guess. My little coupe was a sweet ride but not enough room for my liking :)

 

The coupe has a lower centre of gravity :y:

From when I last looked they were about that price

 

BTR Performance make crossmembers you mount the engine on, using a 12A Turbo timing cover,

Yes i know it says gemini on the site, but measure up a corolla chassis rails and send it to them, and engineered also

 

To mount the gearbox i have seen HG holden bracket under some conversions

Coupe it up, Nerf. '35 coupe's and '30 2 doors have to be my favourite Corolla's

[oh what a nissan feeling!]

panno all the way, coupes are slightly ugly!

I have to say pano, its really the only 30-55 model corolla I really like. Though the only other I really like is a 35, but def the pano first.
