corolla gts parts?

Post by tercelebr8 »

grabbed the inclinometer out today and went looking around a little more.... found a gts at the junkyard. not rwd (confusing) but def. a 16 valve w tvis.. ideal transplant? (cant stop listening to shaggy moons wagon!) how does one inspect this engine? also found tons of vented tercel rotors. (now to find the mr2 caliper/flex line/mast cyl/booster stash..)

that must be the AE92 fwd corolla gts, 1988 and later. that engine, a 4age, can be installed in a tercel, not ideal (you need a few other parts to make it work), you will also need the wiring harness and ECM. You will need to find the water pump housing, heater hose plumbing and rad outlet from a rwd corolla gts installation to install in the Tercel.

The leather steering wheel used in that model will fit in the Tercel and looks a lot nicer than the stock tercel steering wheel.

The calipers on the '92 and newer Tercels can also be used to up grade the front brakes, with the '92 and newer rotors.
