Hey guys, I'm about to modify my AE80 Corolla. It's been neglected for quite some time due to lack of capital. Kindly point out the issues with my to-do list, list is as follows:

1. Full body work.

2. Paint Java Black pearl (Subaru's 18L).

3. Engine 2ZZGE or 3SGTE, they are costing same. (Kindly point out issues).

4. Tires 195/55R15 or 205/50R15, which one is going to be better.

5. Bucker seats and other interior work.

6. Lowering springs.

*Both engines are available at $1000, will swapping 3sgte ruin it's handling/braking or driving dynamics because it's heavier?

Can 2zzge 6-speed be swapped in AE80 without any alteration?

Currently 3SGTE has been swapped by some guy but I haven't been able to reach him somehow.

So I ended up putting 2zzge considering it's light weight and NA reliability. Installed parts include:

1. 2" inch downpipe with 1.2" stock headers

2. By-pass FPR to account for returnless fuel rail (Pressure set at 50PSI)

3. 255lph walbro fuel pump

4. 195/55R15 BBS RS 8j Yokohama DBs

5. Foha GT spoiler

6. AE101 DISCs & brake drums

7. Tein AE101 coilovers

8. Java Black Pearl Paint

Yes, of course gear ratios are very short on top of that having 190hp in 950kg chassis it has decent performance overall. But if it's shear power you are looking for; 3sgte with LSD is a way to go. Some people say it's heavy for FF layout but so is all time favourite k20. A friend has killed so many Hondas (including built k20) from his 3sgte KE70 with almost zero mods. 

2zzge - 115kg

3sgte - 205kg

k20 - 185kg

Thanks mate.

Oh, I know...

My Camry has a 5S-GTE(3S/5S franken engine) in a 1280kg chassis(inc. engine), with LSD.

Nice sleeper build though.

That is awesome, how much hp it's putting down? Any pictures or videos. Thanks.
