I've seen a couple of corollas with 13b's in them. My favorite is a 20b in a corolla.

 

the question is WHYYYYYY!

 

Because a car gets upgraded to GOD status when they drop a rotary in it.
Rotary = Godliness

 

Here's my favorite: http://youtube.com/watch?v=jGp3hCK-jRg

 

because old school rollars and sr5's are light as hell.....i seen quite a few myself and they are damn fast

 

WHY NOT?

 

Better a corolla with a rotary than a rotary swapped for a corolla engine.

 

I find it sexy...those lil phuckers are nice for rally...and as stated light weight so why not?

 

Whats wrong with a light RWD car and a rotary?

THis thread is retarded.

 

"CALL ME if u r ready to outrun any civic, accord,VW, jetta, acura,integra...."

i have a friend that had an ae86 coupe with a 12a

Toyotary for the win!

 

I'd love to have an old ae86 with a 13b dropped in. RWD, light weight = tons of fun!

 

...maybe after I'm done with the 8 and the T2 FC, I can finally focus on converting my "one-cam-wonder" AE86 into a "hachirotor" w/ a carbed 13B.

 

Hey this car means business.

 

I will betcha that little sucker flies though. It likely weighs less then 2300lbs. Corolla or not, you wanna quick little fun car, there ya go.

 

that little car means serious business, i dont think its AE86 though

 

Rotary in MY Corolla? It is more likely than you think.

I have seen a few very old school corolla wagons with a 12a but that 20b AE86 takes the cake.

 

if you're talking about the craigslist post, it is an AE86.

 

I'm gonna buy it!!!! I ALWAYS dreamt of outrunning a civic!!

 

Reminds me of my RX-3

 

^I know a guy who put a 12A in a 70s Corolla, at first I thought it was an RX-2

 

in all seriousness, a corolla with a 13B swapped will literally kick our ***

 

There are several answers to this question, for one thing, parts are more readily available and probably cheaper for a 13b, 4ag parts are a pita to find or they're priced like they came off a Bentley if you do happen to find a decent source. These cars weigh nothing, have a good chassis to build off of, and are cheap, so adding a more parts friendly (and more powerful at that) for either less money or close to the same as playing with the stock toyota motor makes perfect sense. I dig cars like this, if I had the funds laying around I'd drop a 13b in a VW beetle and put it in the front to boot lol

light cheap car + more powerful cheaper engine than stock = win so I'd say that's one reason whyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

rip off the stickers and clean it up a lil would make a hella fun car!

sleeper anyone.?
