Prepare 15-20k. You can get it cheaper pero at the expense of quality

XL variant more likely, all manual,
IMO, ill leave it that way,

less power amenities == less headache

like you stated, student ka palang, yung conversion will cost you money, if not done right, it will cost you money, if napaayos mo ng maayos, more likely surplus condition, gamble yan, okei kung it will last, but if in a few months time, magleak, it will also cost you money.

weak point ng corolla bigbody ang power steering nya, the ones na nakakabit sa 4afe's, kaya im suggesting as is nalang.

kung may resources ka naman to do the conversion, go ahead, hopefully maayus yung kukuhanin mo and siguraduhin mong OEM, stay away from taiwan rack and pinion assemblies, it will give your more headache kesa sa surplus OEM assembly.

pwede naman lumambot yan, when turning, paandarin mo kotse kahit sobrang bagal, gagaan din yan, pag from a standstill and pipihitin mo, magkaka- muscle ka talaga.

good luck sa decision sir.

btw, i myself own a corolla bigbody GLi before, got it from experience.


OT: mas i-maintain mo nalang ang engine mo, give it a tune up, change oil, everything!
You'll be surprised sa performance ng 2E engine mo, it will go a long long long way, magsasawa ka na sa kotse na yan, buhay na buhay pa makina na yan. If maintained regularly, hindi maselan sa maintenance ang 2E compared sa mga newer engines.

Ay ganun ba? Sige i sstay ko nalang yun as is mas hassle pala pag pina power steering pa. Actually kaka tune up lang at lahat ok naman ang smooth ng takbo ang problema lang ung AirConditioning nung sasakyan sobrang hina na, kaya parati nka baba windows ko. kung papaayos kaya ung aircon sir magkano kaya aabutin? Ung aircon parang nka fan lang eh thanks for the reply sir! Sensya na!

Pa check mo wheel alignment and camber, pag wala sa ayos mabigat talaga manibela, wag ka din magkabit ng masyadong malapad na gulong, nakakadagdag din sa bigat ng manibela

pa check mo muna aircon mo, baka need lang ng cleaning ang freon. will just cost you 1200 - 1500 pag yan lang... sa power steering mo naman, ok yan basta you have enough funds. hit or miss and surplus rack and bawat paayos mo sobrang magastos, labor pa lang ang mahal na... keep it neat and simple but kung may budget ka, get a good set of lowering springs and power windows na rub, ok na ulit hehe!
