Mon, 07 June 2004 08:26 can't bolt a vr4 (4G63T) engine (evo engines are no good, they mount from the gearbox, not the engine) up to a starion gearbox but you CAN to an L200 gearbox, just use the internals from the starion box, they go straight in (easily apparently). gearbox and engine mounts are the same. as for the other stuff its no more involved than a fwd to rwd 4age conversion. i'm not a huge fan of the body shape, i like the rear end and side view but imo they went way wrong with the pointy front and popup headlights. a way to get around the ugliness? i am currently bolting in a starion engine (4G63T SOHC, TC05, no intercooler yet but got a big front mount in the pipeline) to an EX lancer (1981 RWD) along with a few rwd gsr lancer bits to make it all come together nicely. this conversion is going to come in under $2K including the cost of the car and should be fairly quick to start with and once i start spending some money (multi point injection, aftermarket computer, TD05, whatever else i come up with) it should be deadly. obviously the users here are biased with this being a Toyota based forum but looking at the facts the starion looks pretty good. that said i'd take a original AE86 (a proper 86, not like the SOHC 85's you Aussies call 86's) any day of the week. held their value a hell of a lot better (in NZ at least), there's a whole lot of spare body's around (AE85's, well they're still fairly common over here but quickly being snapped up for 4age conversions) that aren't too expensive and better looking cars.
