    IMHO id go with the corolla because it has a better chassis. ive talked to some mechanics (correct me not true) and they told me the problem with the lancer singkit (89-91) model is that the front engine mount or was it chassis gives way to the weight of a swap engine like 4g63. what they do is put another form of support/brace underneath the chassis to fix these.

    the st 4age on the other hand, peeps from grupotoyota are happy with it. and they like the ae92 body. oh and the st engine is ITB. sings well on high rpms. the st is also a 1.6ltr engine compared to a 2.0ltr 4g63 engine so mas matipid.

    by the way. its a toyota. its known for reliabilty. lotsa parts sa suking auto shops so cheaper prices. this are 15year old cars so repairs are expected.

    go with toyota.

    AE92 has IRS compared to the torsion bar rear suspension of the singkit.

    pero mas pogi GTi for me lalo na kung JDM tapos may headlamp washer & rear wiper.

    yung sinasabi mong support/brace is really required sa singkit either stock engine or not.

    and i think mas madaling i source out ang parts ng singkit 4g63 since ang 4g63 naman supported pa ng kahit anong shops because of the galant gti.

    power department naman halos pareho lang coz may variant ang 4g63 and 4age ng 140+hp, 160+ hp, and 170+hp. sa torque lamang ang 4g63 because of the displacement.

    its your call kung ano piliin mo. I own a singkit with 4g63. good luck!

    Out of the box i'd probably look at the Corolla... but maybe you would prefer buying a bone stock one for lets say, 100K-120K then do the mods on your own.

    bakit di na lang singkit then fit the 1.6L MIVEC 172hp from JDM Cyborg 4g92MIVEC ata(not sure)?

    parang may nakita akong nagbebenta sa MMph...

    para sakin OK yung engine na yun.

    hehe parang kilala ko rin nagbebenta niyan.

    di hamak na mas tipid ang 4AGE jan. 16G ata turbo niyan, 450cc injectors and MAF sensor. expect around 5-6 km/liter on city driving conditions with the 63T. happy boosting!

    advertised fuel consumption daw (per seller's info):

    4g63 or 4g63T = 7kms/L city; 8kms/L HW
    4AGE ST = 9~10kms/L city; 12kms/L HW

    could u agree with this?

    thanks!

    those figures are a little too optimistic, just keep in mind they come from someone who wants you to buy their vehicle.

    is the 4g63 with a turbo.. a 4g63 na kinabitan ng turbo? or a 4g63T - may kasama nang turbo. alam ko magkaiba tong 2 na to e. experts correct me nalang if im wrong.
