I've got a 1996 Corolla and i'm thinking about converting it from FWD to either RWD or AWD. Just looking for a general price range so I can get a good idea.

I'll guestimate alot more than anyone thinks, dependant on the donor car used

There's a Starlet on the youtubes that used a EVO as a donor car for parts......

Well, being a Corolla, and there existing Caldinas and other 4WD Toyotas both newer and older than 1996, you'd think you could use a Toyota donor.

But there's no point in discussing this as if it was a serious possibility. Dropping an enormous sum of money on a 30 year old Corolla is pure bong smoke.

      R32 Gtst - Track Car

      Awesome effort and result, well done. I understand you wanting to get that 1.30 but the reality is this is a super quick car already with road cars being in the mind 40s, its hard to realise how much is required to go that much faster! The other thing is, having done Targa a few times from NSW, the cost and effort to travel that far to a track and city you don't know, and then deal with things not going to plan, that is a huge extra effort on top of everything. And once you've got all that sorted you need to drive it too! Anyway, well done for taking on such a big adventure, I hope you enjoyed it among all the hectic pace and pressure

      Lifters (solid vs hydro) do not affect VCT. For cams, just contact Kelford in New Zealand and tell them what you want to do with the engine and that it is a solid converted 25. They'll know what to give you. FWIW... you can probably use any cam with either hydro or solids at that power level. By "any cam" I mean, there probably isn't a particular reason for the profile to be much different between the two.

      By TomSky33 · Posted

      Hello from Germany,   i build my RB25DET Series 2 -> Target 600hp i have now ordered solid lifters from Tomei for the cylinder head and will replace the original hydraulic lifters. Which cams can you recommend ? It is only a street car.... Maybe i order a Garrett GTW38 or something like that.   and what is with the VCT ? is it blocked with the solid lifters ?   Attention is a RB25DET with solid lifters!   Thank you for your help

      Rob's S Chassis track cars. Now with more s15 and less 180sx

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      Diff arrived from Japan last week.  Nismo gt pro 1.5way for gtr. Still deciding whether to use 4.11 or 3.9 gears before installing.  Spent some time yesterday going over what's needed to finish engine bay fuel lines. Got a list so will order soon. Played with radiator placement and decided on stock location with bottom spaced a bit for a small amount of angle. So ordered standard mounts and rubbers. Reason for this is the 180sx was a pain to work on any of the coolers and was also going to take longer to fabricate mounts. Today made a bracket to mount the dbw throttle pedal. Factory location wasn't great to work with the pedal box. Luckily there's a rail that pedal box mounts too so did some measuring, drew up a design and got stuck in.  It's made of 3mm aluminium and has a lot of strength just need some bolts, washers and nuts to finish up.   If I get time tomorrow I'll pull the front bar and lights to start intercooler mounting, it will be flipped under the rad support which will require some trimming.
