S2k swap

Wes, as for the rear end it kept me up most of the night looking and from what i've found the stock rear end works perfectly but needs to be slightly upgraded do to the stock power differences in the engines

from what i have found there should be 6 grounds and about 12 power wire left when all said and done, so your pretty frigin close lol

Hmm. So youre going to use the s2000 transmission ? Id use as much of the factory wiring as possible. Its be interesting to see where the shifter ends up in the corolla chassis. Good luck, itll be sweet if it gets finished.

you have to cut back bout 2 or 3 inches and then you have the choice of shortening the e-brake handle or relocating it but from what I've seen its a pretty straight forward swap the wiring is the only thing I'm truly worried bout haven't found an exact diagram or example yet

my other big concern is the spacer that i need to put between the frame and the lower crossmember and how it will affect the alignment and driveabilty of the car

make sure you mount it as low and as far back as you can get it. It will prolly drive like a go cart. I'm pretty sure Josh from fergus was going to do this swap, i'm sure he can give you the in's and out's of it, but i don't know what he is up to these days 1990tsi on here i believe...

[95_gsr_swap]

ya that was his plan and i dont know what happened to it but its in my hands now and i will get it done. he still has a butt load of the parts with him in fergus but i cant seem to get ahold of him so a road trip might be in order

would be nice i just don't like the price tag of the stand alone and from what i've found the harness is supposed to be pretty simple to do i guess that you basically use a stripped s2k dash harness, full engine harness and bits from the corolla

this isn't exactly a new swap idea... it's been done plenty of times and there should be write ups somewhere online

[95_gsr_swap]

this i know bubba, but all the write ups leave out alot of important info and leaves me looking for that info but in time i will have every thing i need to know plan is to start on the dash and wiring tomorrow

I talk to josh all the time. PM me for contact info.
