New to Corolla's, couple ?'s

[casperolla]

i bought an 81' corolla sr5, i bought it from a local junkyard for $500 running perfectly fine. im pretty sure it has 198000 miles but it still runs strong.

i was wondering, how do i tell if my car is the 2door sedan or 2door coupe'?

i keep reading everywhere on this site that the 3tc engine is amazing, what about it is amazing exactly? i kno its a hemi and it makes good torque, but it has really low hp, what is the expected hp from doing bolt-ons (carb, IM, header, custom header back exhaust, LW flywheel, ignition, etc.)?

what shocked me is i weighed my car today and it weighed 1540 with me ut of it, tese cars are lighter than 1st gen miata's ha ha

are there any decent looking "body kits", i took the rear bumper off and wow it looks, eh, ok i guess but a decent not to ricey bumper would look better.

is BRD pretty much the only company that makes parts for this car, or are there some jdm companies too, any other sites i should check out?

any help is appreciated, TIA guys

wow i am sorry about the spelling its late

[casperolla]

no help???

hello out there???

well my plans for the car is to buy the turbo off a turbo
camry diesel and boost my carb, any advice?

stay away from body kits dude. get a jdm front end, finder flares, and slammed it on nice rims. the engine gots to go if you got the time and know how put the 20v, 16v or the supercharged engine it. dont turbo that engine its not the best engine possible.

well i found out the car scale at the port of entry was off the car weighs 2160 with me out

i know a 20v would be the way to go for reliability and power, but i dont know much about
wiring engine swaps.

on a side note, i found a super clean 81 sr5 liftback i might buy for 400, and that car might
be project 1uz corolla, my dream car ha ha
