2003 Toyota Corolla T-Sport breaking


Recommended Posts

Posted

If you've seen my project* thread you may have seen this fine beast.

Bought by me in July to donate it's engine to a MK3 MR2. It passed an MOT and was pressed into use pending it's fate, that is now upon us.

Everything available apart from the engine, box and driveshafts.

Rolling shell available if you're quick

Pics from when I got it, it still looks the same, just a bit dirty.

Wheels are good but tyres aren't great before anyone asks.

Wonder if those seats would drop straight in a Yaris.

 

I  have no idea, happy to measure shiz up and take some photos though if that helps?

Not the biggest possible purchase, but I need a fuel cap if it’s the original one...

Wheels are 16" T Sport alloys in OK nick, I have 5 of them.

Bum holes I was hoping they were 15 inches.

Hello! Sorry, been away all day today but will have a look tomorrow and see if I can get your bits off.

The project thread covers lots of old rammel, the MR2 appears about 20 pages in.

 

The black one we originally bought was too good to strip apart so we bought another one to do the conversion on with a more broken engine.

 

Conversion is just starting but it's a well documented thing to do. Can't wait to get it on the road!

Hi Dome , thank you for looking at the bits for me , no rush , totally at your convenience. Message me when you like . I will read the project thread mr2 with interest , I really am surprised about a corolla engine being fitted in a mr 2 , sounds great . Hopefully after reading the thread I will understand why you are doing this conversion . If I have any questions I will post up . Thanks Justin .

Corolla has a 190bhp* vvtli engine while the MR2 only ever got the 130 vvti.

I've seen vvtli mr2s but only as prize cars in Gran Turimso 2!

 

*Toyota were generally optimistic here. 170bhp isn't unusual, even when they were fairly new and being developed by the aftermarket.

This I've kept, if you still need it drop me a PM

I did manage to get the fuel flap release but not the A/C button I'm afraid

 

The other bits I've kept if anyone needs them are

 

5x Alloys with legal but not great tyres

4 Calipers

Front and rear lights.

 

If anyone needs anything that went on the shell let me know and I'll pass you my mates details. i'm not sure how long it'll be around though.

Hi Dome , thank you for getting the lever bit . I will send a pm . J .

Wheels are now sold.

 

Any of the above fit an Auris?

 

I don't think anything will I'm afraid

The mats have been claimed for workshop use I'm afraid!
