7th gen Corolla help/guidence/info
Trying to find some information about the 1993-97 Corollas. Well, a 1997 to be exact.
Stuff like,
How much of a pain is it to do a 5 speed swap in a 1997 Corolla? and what's the deal with this 6 speed tranny I keep hearing referenced?
Basic builds, costs and expected/actual gains?
What parts to swap from other cars/engines to increase performance?
I'm not trying to build a race car by any means.
If anything, I'm just looking to make it a decent thing to drive back and forth to work. Shooting for awesome gas mileage while not getting ran over by traffic getting on the interstate.
I've tried to search around on some of the toyota and corolla forums, but the information on there is either a decade old, or it is just flat retarded crap, worst than digging around some of the honda forums.
I'm hoping I just haven't found the right place for information yet.
I looked into some engine swaps, but I can't justify the money, work, effort, blood, tears, and sweat for the minimal gains that most of the swaps give you.
Is this just that uncommon of a platform that the information just isn't out there?
I see kids with fart cannons on these things all of the time trying to race around like they have something. I figured at least a few of them have actually built cars worth talking about.
Really appreciate the help and guidance.
