 I want to put a 4AGZE into a AE92 corolla hatch (not liftback seca). Besides the motor, gearbox and brakes being different on an SX/GTi model to the CSi Ltd what else is different:?: SX/GTi corollas are few and far between in Darwin so I want to know what I will miss out on if I don't get a SX/GTi. At the moment I drive a CSi Ltd corolla.
Don't be shy  tell me what u think.

great car mate 
i have asked a similar question here. basically there are alot of costs involved with the conversion if u are not willing/able to do the work yourself. i had quotes for the full conversion ranging from 4000-6000 dollars.
are there many jap performance wreckers in ur area??

Try to start with a car that has EFI. Otherwise you will need to re-work the fuel system. (An EFI car will need a bigger pump for a gze but at least the lines and tank will be OK).
Apart from that the SX/GTi has a nicer dash with oil pressure, battery voltage and a whizzy tacho. Its pretty well laid out. You might want to install one of these.
Depending on if you care about looks or not then the SX/GTi has a few minor add-ons. rear hatch spoiler, front splitter bar and nice painted bumpers. I'm not sure if the suspension is any different. I've got a '90 SX and I've never compared it to a standard rolla.
cheers,

The SX/GTi also come with different suspension, bigger brakes and better interior than the CSi Ltd,

GTI16V how different is the suspension on the SX models?
Besides those things it is basically the same. I will be doing most of the work myself as my mate said it is pretty straight forward if you have a front cut (he and a mate converted a GTi in brisbane in a few days with a front cut}.
Most of the things mentioned above will be swapped for aftermarket items ie brakes, suspension and spoilers. Interior will also get a make over like import dash and seats or something.
So depeding on how different suspension is then?
