I'm located in sunny Sydney, in the Hills District to be exact. After going down the custom paint, stereo, wheels path, I've finally decided its time to invest in the motor and suspension.
Heres a list of mods done so far:
Toyota Corolla AE101 1995 Sedan
Stock Motor - 7AFE
Hurricane Headers - Liverpool Exhaust
Highflow Cat - Liverpool Exhaust
2.25inch Stainless Steel Exhaust through to a relatively generic muffler 4.5 inch tip. - Liverpool Exhaust
Lowered 2.75inches allround on King Springs
18inch Enkei GZeros, with 205/35 R18 Rubber
Respray in Candy Apple Red with marbelising, and, wait for it,
AIR BRUSHING !!!!  Yes, I know, but I like it.
Stereo - This is my true passion:
Clarion VRX925 DVD Player
Audison VRX6.420.2
Dynaudio System 340
Dynaudio Esotar Tweeters
JL Audio 12w7
Xtant X1001 Monoblock
Other than that, shes an auto, which too would need to be changed when I get the engine conversion done.
Thanks for the reply Rob83, I'll try and justify my reasoning for not going down the GZE route, and opting for the 20 valve, again feel free to prove me wrong guys its all a learning curve for myself:
I'm under the impression that the 20valve has VVTI, which in my books means, amongst other things, a much smoother drive, as compared to a regular EFI motor such as the GZE. I could be wrong, but I'm primarily after a smooth and comfortable drive. When speaking to a mechanic, he told me that AE111 Halfcuts with the 6 speed Transmission are extremely rare, and gave me a figure near the $5K mark for the motor and gearbox alone, and another $2.5k for labour. I've rung around 5 or so workshops, and some have even laughed at me when I asked them about the pricing and availability of AE111 halfcuts and gearboxes.
Basically in short, I suppose I'm asking as to which work shops in Sydney would be adept at performing the 3SG Conversion, and what price roughly do you think I'd be looking at. The reason I"m asking is, I wouldn't want to go and say I've got 10k to offer, and the convo could set me back $8k, which would leave me with the other $2k to spend on suspension mods.
As for the 20valve, and GZE options, again, what price do you guys think I'd be looking at for the AE111 and 6 speed half cut and labour. Again, sorry for the generic nature of the questions.
Cheers
Soapy
