Need help for my project AE101 - Corolla XE w/2e engine

[coricsbaby]

Hi Mga Sirs,

Need your help..I am planning to make my corolla as a project. So far dami ko plano ikabit pero naguguluhan ako, baka kasi bili lang ako ng bili and yet palpak.

Eto mga list ng aking plans, if you have idea's, comments, suggestions,I would really appreciate it:

1. Change my 2E engine to 4AEFTE (eto' po yung may turbo n 16 valve ryt?) Okei po ba itong balak ko ipalit na makina? Musta po hatak and fuel consumption. Goal ko po eh yung may power na tama lang and tipid pa sa gas. If ever mayrun po kayo alam or gusto makipagswap sa 2E, willing po ako mag-add ng cash.

2. Lowering Spring...Anu po maganda lowering spring, yung mura na maganda sa handling and di matagtag? Also, yung size po ng gulong ko eh 195/55/15..ilang inch drop po ba ang maganda sa lowering spring, 1.5" or 2"?

3. Garnish, signal lights & headlights. naghahanap po ako ng garnish. Gusto ko po kasi set-up ng US version. Yoko po ng depot, naninilaw eh.

so far, eto po munang tatlo.

Current AE 101 set-up ko po.. Bali ako lang nag-isip nito..

Color ebony black, extended bmper, gramlite mags with 195/55/15 tires, HID, 2 kicker 12' Subs with two amplifier w/ sound stream na twitter, nagpalagay din ako targa speaker sa harap, Momo prototipo steering wheel na black with momo steering hub, shift knob na silver (balak ko nga din po magpashort-shift na knob, kaya lang la ako idea kung san), muffler po (pre-muf lang)...

Mga sirs & experts, need your suggestions..TNX A LOT PO!!!!

Buy a sports coupe (MR2, Celica, Supra) and make that your project car and use the corolla as a daily beater. That's what it's built for.

Don't get me wrong, I have the exact same car as you do, and I had the same aspirations as you had. Pero at one point magsasawa ka rin, because the Corolla is as bland as feck, and di mo na mababawi yung nagastos mo diyan unless kahuyin mo and sell it off part by part. So I decided na magipon nalang and wait for the right project car than mess up your old reliable and end up with no car.

if you have the moolah magandang project ito.

kung ako sayo ibebenta ko yung ae101 ko with stock 2E engine. tapos bibili ako ng 2nd hand na AE101 na naka 4E-FTE na at registered na sa LTO para walang hasle sa paghanap ng surplus engine at change engine sa LTO.
