Ive searched for the 1983 corolla rear drum to disc brakes swap, can't find a thing. Anyone got a lead?? I dislike very much those huge drum brakes

The most pragmatic solution is a complete rear axle swap

There is a conversion that I performed on my Rotary project...it should be an eye opening article in the 3rd issue of 86 garage magazine though. :) Sorry.

No it isn't a waste. The 3rd issue will be out in no time and someone who gets the issue will post up the how to.

You don't have to wait around if you really want to move forward. Staying with your current rear end isn't going to hinder you from getting on the road though until you settle on which path to take.

I saw this magazine you speak of at NST I think, it was pretty awesome.
