hello everyone
i was given a 1981 corona from a mate whose gone back to china.
its a 4dr sedan with a 3sp auto. i believe its the xt130
seeing as i have a daily driver i've never had to use it so its
been sitting there unregistered for the last 3 years, plus the
clutch is slipping so i couldn't be bothered to get it fixed
when i have a perfectly good car to drive
long story short, ive found out that a 1jz would fit in, albeit
a bit of a tight fit
anyways i been thinking about this for a while as stripped and
properly prepared it would make a nice, fun car (i beleive its
only around 1100kg standard), until i read somewhere here that
the steering is pathetic
is this the actual steering or the suspension geometry?
would it still be worth it to convert to a drift/circuit/drag
play thing?
i notice chris davey has a xt130 with a 1jz, but its used for
drags i believe, and id like to concentrate more on circuit and
maybe try out drifting, where (would you believe it or not)
steering is kinda important
i know its gonna cost quite a bit (upwards of $15k) but i'm in
no hurry and id like to do as much of it myself (with help from
family/mates) as possible
would it really be better to go for an sr20?
alot of rules allow for engine conversions for raceing as long
as its within the family, so id like to keep away from that
sorry for the long post
