Plans 4 my 91 SV21 "any advice?"

Hi all, Pretty new to TN. Got a Camry 91 SV21. AU version 2L 4pot EFI 5sp Man. So far I have lowered it by 4cm, Put on Stock 80something celica mags, Sports steering wheel, Pod filter, custom manifold shield, all new power steering rack and pinion and some crappy custom interior work.
Future plans include: Engine swap for a (was 4AGZE now) 3SGTTE, Extreme Sinex bodykit + paint job, power windows, Strut brace.

Anyone got any advice/experience to share about any of this? I would be keen to know YOUR thoughts

Nah, ditch the 4AGZE plans (unless you have an AE92 Corolla coupe) and talk to white90dx. He's done the proper swap, got a 3SGTE in his.

Welcome to Camry-land!

And btw: did you mean a 1.4cm drop? To my mind it would be impossible to lower an SV21 chassis by 14cm...

You've obviously never driven a car with a 3s-gte! Daily-driveable power above 2krpm, tons of power from 3.5k+ to redline.

The 3s-gte is pretty much a bolt-in, any A-series block would be custom everything. The 3s-gte makes more power out of the box than a 4a-gze could make without a built motor. There is no comparison.

If you want a difficult (but still do-able!) swap and a blower, put in a 1mz-fe and the TRD supercharger...
