13B Corolla Rotolla?? or RE86

Really thinking about a 13b J bridge in a 85-86 Corolla. I heard the car with 4ag motor is about 2200 lb. I think with some fiber glass panels and some lightening I can get it to weigh 2100s with a 13b in it. With the same motor in my 3 I ran 13.2 et. at 113 mph trap speed. My 3 weighed 2040 lb. so if I can get it to 2100s it would be a smoking Corolla. Just wondering if any one has done it or has heard of some on that has done it. From my undrstanding no one has done it before.

Thanks Mate

The 84-87 Toyota Corolla/Chevy Nova is front wheel drive.

Yes putting a rotary has been done before.. even 20Bs (in Japan certainly) And no the AE86 is not FWD.

i disagree with you. up to 87, the corollas are all rear-wheel drive.. thats the GTS, SR-5 version. Front wheel drive didnt come until 88

Toyota E80

The Toyota Corolla E80 series was a "transition" generation including both FF and FR.

E80: Introduced 05.83 as Corolla (5th generation introducing FF) and Sprinter (in Japan)/Chevrolet Nova. The coupes (FR) came with 2 and 3 doors and were called Corolla Levin/Sprinter Trueno in Japan. In 10.84 came the Corolla Hatchback (Corolla FX in Japan).

E90: Introduced 05.87 with coupes now also FF.
