a list, some thoughts, some questions to check.

Suspension
ajps rear spring perches which are made for E7/ 86 rear springs. http://www.ajps.com.au/
Front sway bar
Replace control arm and tie rod bushes
bc golds (ae86) are $1300,last over a year
RA65 struts, cut-down tubes, AGX dampers, 7kg springs, and S13 camber-tops work after modification.
MRP Coilovers 1550 custom spring rates, post struts. Message http://www.shockworks.com.au/ and shop around
Will I need ae86 steering knuckles and camber tops ae86 hubs and brakes to suit the corona???
r31 front lower control arms
do ra65 struts in front for better brakes. Bolt straight in.??
Ra65 power steering arms for quicker steering, that’s if it doesn’t already have power steer.
AJPS can help. replace worn steering components such as rack ends, tie rod ends, ball joints in the lower control arms and bushes.
are rt142 ra65 irs identical.??
ma61 camber tops will work too but they become camber and castor. due to ma61's having a different bolt orientation
would the xt130 setup Mean you retain the larger diameter discs and also larger spindles? Will The 86 stuff low offset wheels popping out wheel bearings ???
Driveline
a manual ST141 pedal box. An RT142 pedal box will fit also.
lsd diff an ra60 t series diff will bolt straight in. 150$ maybe. 3:9 ratio. ... G series Lux diff into the back... f series
Rear is a series diff from a YR22 Tarago van here in oz with mounts modified to fit the rona pick up points
Extreme HD Clutch, a w58 alloy sandwich plate box a custom NPC single plate jobbie and chromoly fly.
ENGINE
as far as I'm aware it utilises the original corona x-member with modified welded in new sections betweenLand/Range rover rubber mounts and then jza80 engine mounts to the block, which is the rearward of the two available positions on the block.The jzx100 mounts as I found sit on the forward position on the block, but as is the beauty of these engines all was interchangeable.
Fitment: 15 by 8 – 4 for the front and 15by 10- 12
Brakes
RA65 front brakes project Mu pads
MA61 rear rotors and calipers they will bolt up
R33 4pots and BA falcon rotors
5/8th hydro h brake
Misc
Weld in rear tub-tub brace/front strut
Tacho, set the rear pinion angle to 2.5 degrees
The Corona RT142 sedans only came with the IRS between 08/1985 and 12/1986. That is both manual and auto I believe. RT142 IRS rear ends are the same as MA61 except for the rotors and calipers. RT142 IRS rear ends are the same as RA65 except the RA65 had drums, so it doesn't have mounts for the calipers on the arms. Biggo I hope you haven't payed big dollars for any chassis/rear end parts because, the Carinas have the same chassis & IRS as these ronas (different between IRS and live axle though).’
V6 2000 ish Camry, coil plugs as similar to 2j/1j
remove the throttle body to cut the 'traction control' butterfly from the end which will allow for a nicer radius on the piping
