Post by **180sxblack** » Tue Jun 23, 2009 8:05 pm

so my buddy forgot to put oil in his '89 corolla and the engine seized. its gunna go to the junker unless i want to save it. is it a worthy car for a swap? what are some worthy motors?

RWD right? i'd say yes... you can make it something like this

i know its not the exact same (this is an 87) but they have lots of potential

we're talking 89. nothing special by any means

Post by **180sxblack** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 7:21 pm

its a coupe. with pop up lights. i do believe it came with the 4AGE or something like that. front wheel drive. no rust at all. seems like dropping the money into my 180 seems more worth it.

Yeah, I dunno why everyone keeps posting AE86s. They have nothing to do with 1989 aside form not existing then.

We're talking AE92:

Great looking cars. Can be fun, especially with a 5 speed.

Post by **93coupe** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 8:46 pm

I've always like the look of these cars. They look similar to first gen Preludes IMO.

Did anyone read this? Guy starts off at $2500 gets not interest and bumps it like 4 times.

He then lowers the price after 9 days all the way down to...to $2450

Another 9 days and he lowers the price again, to a staggering $2400.

Wheelin & Dealin...

Funny you bring that up, I've thought about buying that guys car for a while. I need a FWD car for when I go back to Germany and I had a deal with a guy for a FX16 but it fell though =/

According to a friend who used to own one. They are megafun beaters. Some even came with factory itbs, he said.

Post by **HashiriyaS14** » Wed Jul 01, 2009 10:30 am

^^93coupe is thinking of 3rd Gen Preludes: (BA5)

This is a 1st gen Prelude: (AB1? I think?)

Anyway, AE92's are super cool! Don't let that car go to the junker. These are all Levin fronts, of course, since they're Japanese, but you get the idea.

I've NEVER seen anyone build a truly nice AE92 in the United States. Be the first!

Post by **VMP** » Wed Jul 01, 2009 10:32 am

not worth it if you want a drift car. it's front wheel drive. however, if it's a free car.. you can just put in the supercharged jdm engine and use it as a daily.

Post by **180sxblack** » Wed Jul 01, 2009 5:26 pm

yeah screw that idea. my 180SX wants a set of fresh z32's

Post by **hbpignosePA** » Thu Jul 02, 2009 4:14 am

yup cuz everyone wants to be a drifter yo

hype

Post by **BOOM_STICK** » Thu Jul 02, 2009 3:28 pm

you can get the supercharged 4age for under 1000 bucks or drop in a 20 valve 4age, that would be nasty

sorry for bringing a dead thread back. i built this ae92 back in 2008.

sure its not the fastest, but at the local autocross where it was more technical i had alot of seeing guys with evo's not even being able to touch my times.

Post by **rdyzz** » Tue Nov 09, 2010 7:49 pm

here's a corolla with a levin front conversion im currently working on.

nothing special planned for it. just gonna drive it the way it is, so that means gonna make it light and keep it simple.

Says less about your car, more about how crappy the Evo drivers must be. Any Evo on A6's should skunk your and my car.

thats to be expected, sadly that wasn't the case. maybe the day when cars drive themselves instead of people driving them. to bad so many people are so willing to hoop into one of these fast cars and expect to be fast instead of learning how to drive with slower cars first.
