1986 toyata corolla

[mark2kay]

the other dayi started intital d(im still in first stage) so i learned a little about trueno and leven?

iwas cruising te board and some1 talked about a corolla in 86, and how that was a great year for corolla. i researched and found out the 86 corolla looks just like the levin. but teh leving is uspposed to be crappy rgiht so why would u want an american version of levin

in d the leve is is also known the 85.

im confused

"peace up, A-town down"

AE86 is the chassis code for 85(4?)-87 GTS corollas

[marshun]

ae85's are just chassis codes. in the USA we never got'em.

but if youre really interested then i suggest http://www.club4ag.com those guys know allot about'em

[BulletToothTony]

In Initial D the 85 is the worse off then the 86 because the 85 has a SOHC engine whereas the 86 has a DOHC engine

The 86's engine was the 4A-GE while the 85's was 4A-C

Both body styles were available with the 4A-GE

[mark2kay]

so is the 86 corolla a levin, with a diff name or actually even worse?

[marshun]

the only difference was the headlights.

the options and such were the same.

the ae85 came in levin and trueno form

as did the ae86

[Scorch]

4ac is also carbed isnt it?

[easymmkay240sx]

Yes.

[chandler]

HATCHI ROKU fever, man , does every one latch on to what I say? jus kiddin, most of the corollas ya find here are either tore up or rusty, a good one is real rare chandler

[DeathBy240SX]

The AE86 Levin is just a Corolla with lights off the USDM spec 4-door Corolla. The Trueno has pop-ups. The JDM AE86 has 127hp as opposed to the 112hp engine we got.

[Duckmeister]

The AE86 chassis ran from 84-87 and the Corolla GTS is the same hatchback as the Trueno. Too my knowledge we never got the AE86 Levin (the one with the stationary lights).

Oh and the AE86 Levin and the AE86 Trueno are the same cars. Just one has stationary lights and the other has sexy pop-ups.

I had a Gt-s Hatch(87) SLOW AS PISS. Fun to drive and whip around the autocross track. Only mods it had was a homemade STB and free mods. I had a run in with the concrete base of a light pole last summer... The light pole won But I dont see why everyone thinks they are so cool IMO I think the hatchs are slow and ugly. Wouldn't mind getting a coupe though(for looks only not very much performance difference other then chassis rigidy).. Perhaps mod it and take care of it this time?? Oh yeah insurance was hella cheap on it

well a stock motor isnt fast. just like a 240. stock it isnt fast.

but even if you do just the suspension on that car, that **** is awesome. seriously. theres no bull**** in how that thing can corner. i had one. hehe. i stripped it and got springs and shocks for it. and i was welding up the unibody some. ugly welds though. i was learning

[rico05]

Hachis are overrated IMHO. A cool car, but not worth what people usually ask for them. Thanks to Initial D, they have gotten outlandish......Kinda like JZA80s post-TFATF...

[Megaseth]

yeah, they're ok cars but not worth the super hype. although, that one 8-6 that circuit racing guy built was pretty badass. i thought the SR5 was the USDM 8-5...maybe not. i do know it was Ghey! 4F motor sucked nuts.

[mark2kay]

goomba:

u said u had an 87, thats diff from an 86, 86 wa the last year of rwd cars, so ur's is fwd.

[Mr1der]

no no no, when people say 86, they refer to the last two digits of the chassis codes. The Corolla changed in 88 and went to the AE101 (I think that was it) and became FWD even in GTS trim.

they're really nothing special, small I4 solid axle lightweight car. It just got a reputation because it became an odd car people liked to mess with, mainly due to the engine choice as the 4a-ge is a very revvy engine. It's 20V cousin even more so (can't remember the code...).

But yeah, an '87 GT-S is still RWD...

240 will own a GT-S if both are driven by competent drivers.

oh, don't post on club4age, they will own your *** for even mentioning Initial D or any just dumb noob questions.

if you can find youself the 4a-gze (supercharged, stock is 6 psi i think), then ull have a quick little car. friend has one sitting in his garage as we speak.

The stock rolla is still slower than a 240sx stock, but that doesnt matter, because you dont buy one to be a fast car, you buy one to be a fun car. In my opinion it has become way overpriced for what you get. I see ae86's listed for $3000, thats rediculous. I still want one, but it needs to be alot more cheap concidering all the work that ususally needs to be done to them.

[Mr1der]

yeah, they are indeed rust buckets and not too cheap to fix.

[Megaseth]

i met one guy who bought an SR5 and he said the money hes putting into it suspension and engine wise getting it to GTS level is enough to get a GT-S and fix it up somewhat well.

[easymmkay240sx]

Only problem with doing that is your have to completely rewire the car for fuel injection...unless you wanna slap some carbs on the 4AGE and run it like that.

[Megaseth]

yeah, that was his other problem. i think the ITB 20vs look good, and a carb'd 16v would look kick ***. the only problem is you would have the lateral Gs pulling the gas away and might make the car run lean.

[Coupe240sx]

dosnt matter suspension wise, which one u get. ur gonna change the susp anyways. the sr5 sucks cuz it has the 4ac sohc engine drum brakes and open differential. unlike the 4 disc brakes lsd and dohc4age powered gts.my brother has one, the carbed 16v's dont have that problem when bein tossed and drifted.not the setups i know of. its a great car nearly exactly 50-50 weight dist, tough *** engine and lighter than a miata.

[cyrus240sx]

my friend has one.... he took the 4agz engine from the supercharged corolla in japan and put it in his gts..... the thing screams and has a 10,000 rpm redline. still only just about as fast my stock 240, but it is really fun to drive and hes only spent about 1500 on the car and all his mods

[[Zero-S]]

Auctions, auctions, auctions. Friend just bought two of them, one for 200, one for 6. Both in awesome shape.

[neokeoki]

i saw one here in Misawa for $3,900 with the Panda Color scheme. GT APEX stock even the rims.

[cys19]

neokeoki I think your J-girl post got deleted or something? I really liked that thread!

[SmithSR]

Yeah too bad you guys can't get along.
