1984 Toyota Corona (rona) CS sedan - need mod ideas?


Rona CS 84

Recommended Posts

Hey, iv just purchased a 1984 Corona CS 4cylinder 5speed 2L 4 door sedan, loving this car, im the 3rd owner since new, its only done 175,000km in excellent condition nothing wrong with her so far, im interested in seeing what others have done with these cars, im not sure if its worth doing anything with the cs 84 Rona, but i would mind knowing what i could do, what engines would fit, or some easy mods like coil-overs, should i rebuild the stock engine, extractors? cannon?.

Just needing some ideas and input, ive attached some pics of her.

cheers wouldn't mind some help

To start with I would swap out those wheels and hit it on the head with a hammer. You could also hit it up with some bosozoku styles! Here's a bit of food for thought. Not all the exact same model as yours, but pretty close. The wagon is a 1980 model, but I included it because the wheels look killer as does the stance. B)

Howdy fella's, I've got me one of these for my daily (83 ST140 1.8Lt but basically the same).

I think you have a 2S engine but I could be wrong... If it is a 2S you can go for the same thing I'm going to do to mine, swap for a beams 3SGE engine.

Better value than trying to get any performance out of the stock engine.

Will cost you about $2k for the engine, efi and ecu package (you will need to use your existing box because the beams 3sge is a fwd engine)but it's a strait bolt in swap. Will be about double the power :)

Only thing I'm not 100% sure about yet is how you get the ecu to work with your old gearbox... but the box will bolt strait on (if you have an S engine in your car now).

Oh and MA61 Supra rims ;)

cheers all for the ideas, heaps of food for thought there.. Chobis: I really like the look of the orange rona and the spoked style rims from the wagon, and yes the engine in mine is a 2S - might have a look at the 3SGE, my engine has lots of life left in her, but would be good to see what to put in her. Going to go and search for some proper rims, and demolish the old plastic caps. Cheers all, feel free to post any other ideas you have, ill upload more pictures as im adding stuff to it, also what colour would people prefer for this car due to i can get it resprayed at work.

Cheers Rona CS 84

Ummmmmmm...... this is the first I've heard of this car Ken. What other goodies have you got hidden away over there? ;)

RONA CS 84 - Shoot the Rona with a Lime Green like the old XU1 Torana's.
