Toyota corolla GTI

[Dale SR]

Anyone ever had one of these little cars,or know if there any good, they seem to be quite rare, i could only find a few for sale, first one seems to be very over priced.

Only like 150 left on our roads I think. Brother had 1 on the road and I stole the engine Out his other one.

Rust is a massive issue, starts under the skirts.

4age engines are pretty much solid. Suspension parts are easy to come by as they are interchangeable between ae92 upto the 2000 model ae111/zze111

The facelift 90-91 has Different patterned seats and a non tvis "hi-torque" 4age smallport engine which has much better mid range and produces 128hp rather than the tvis which is 122hp.

Alot of guys here in ireland take the engines out of these and put them in their ae86 corollas because these wee cars are fwd and tend to have had much less abuse! Lovely car all the same!

my bro's engine with 185k on it went into an ae86. revvy little things!

can 3sgte swap them fairly easily, 20v swaps bolt in but need wiring. etc etc

revvy little things!

Too right! Sound amazing too! Ae86 - janspeed - sex.

cheers for the comments guys,

Ye 125 that's nuts hardly any left! thought the SR's were rare!

am about to turn 21 so thinking of going for one of these instead of a Glanza or GT, however trying to find a decent one for a good price will be a challenge, they already have quite a bit of age on them. plus as you say rust is a massive issue! so maybe stick to the Glanza.

ye never seen a red one would be really cool, most av seen are white, although i seen a two tone color, grey one for sale few months back was really cool, not sure if that was standard color or not though.

[kavan-k]

Yeah two tone is a standard colour as far as I know, you will get red over black, silver over graphite, all white, white over black, and all black! All sexy lol

A mate runs ae92ownersclub.co.UK, you should find all you need on there

[morgey]

I've only seen blue over black in the UK.

white, red, black, silver or grey.

the older ae82's and the import gtz levin supercharged versions have more of a mixed scheme i think
