Corona Wagon

[trueno85]

Hey guys

just picked up my new daily as i've been driving my 86 everywhere for the past 8 months and its not exactly the most comfortable and now i'll be able to do a lot more to it since i wont have to worry about it being drivable the next day!

picked it up for $600 with 2 months rego still. I'm the third owner and its just done over 200,000kms and it still has all the manuals and everything so i didnt think the price was so bad. Only real issue apart from a few spots of rust and a bit of play in the steering is the fact that it is soooooo slow! but later when i have money again i might start looking into the possibilities of a cheap and easy conversion but the goal is isnt to spend much money on this!

here are some photos





first thing i've done is put my dildo gearknob in and it suits perfectly considering its a 4 speed so doesnt come anywhere near the wheel!

next mods will be some front springs and lowering blocks considering the rear is leaf. Then i want fender mirrors as there mad even if they are shit for actually any viewing. Then hopefully some new wheels but cant decide if i would rather new ones for the 86 and put the Hoshino's on the wagon, ill chuck them on sometime and see if it suits.

eventually maybe turn it into something like these but its so damn comfortable compared to the ae86 so i dont want to ruin that too much and the fact i dont have to worry and the cops at all






anyways i'll get some more shots now that i've cleaned it and its in my possesion

any useful knowledge let me know as i'm not too familiar with them

sorry for stealing all your photos john!

202 prob the easiest conversion but u can put a 18r or 22r it will bold straight up aswell as the 202 i love these but wish i kept my old xt130

thanks mate, just had a quick search of 202 corona's seems like thats a good cheap conversion! would the 22r or 18r be more a drop in conversion though

hahaha yeah the starfire motor at the motor is a piece of slow shit but at least its running!

and i would rather get a jap motor than another holden motor.

now looking for some front springs!

come on nick fair go

im not a fan of these motors one bit but he asked and i was just expressing what i had researched and tried in my xt130 u and i both know that camry was a heap of shit it was my first car.

202 is an abomination, and should thus be tied to a boat via a long chain and dropped off the side.


although, they made healthy power when worked hard.

[trueno85]

yeah a quick search for worked 202s found quite a few running some low number but i dont want one at all

the starfire motor is terrible and should burn with fire but as long as its still running as a daily im happy!
