car number 2 0.0

[Saucey Corolla]

Alrighty guys =) I bought another 98 Corolla ce but this time it is a manual soooo I was curious that if I should put the 3s-gte I wanted to buy in this car instead and keep my original Corolla with a stock engine and what mods should I put into it o_o

This one?

belly pan
grille block
radiator shield (like the one rincon98 here did)
fuel cut button
tire inflator kit in place of spare and jack
the lightest alloy you can find, preferably for stock size, 15" at most
LED lights all around, LED-compatible flasher relay so you can use LED turn signal bulbs
and a trip to cleanmpg and ecomodder

You're not running a lighter battery?

That Corolla 5-speed is unlikely to hold up to the 3S-GTE for very long. Friction material and pressure plate wise, you have lots of options. But the internal bearings and overall strength of the transaxle case can be easily overwhelmed.

Better to stick with the E-series transaxle with the 3S-GTE. Mate the near bullet-proof engine with the heavier duty transaxle. Drawback is the transaxle is roughly double the weight - but seeing as the 3S-GTE has plenty to spare, should not hamper your driving "fun".

Another option is to build up the 1ZZ-FE in a N/A or boosted app. The 1ZZ-FE have been showing decent promise for good power gains with reliability, given the tune is good.

sell your old automatic corolla...and buy a used miata.
