Goodness gracious would you look at the time, we almost forgot to make a corolla thread
>>15366004
>the worse civic
>>15366010
Why would you not get a civic
Civics are more fun to drive and more competitive, and can be great tuners.
>>15366010
>imblying the E100 wasn't the greatest car ever built
I'll just invite myself because the Auris is Toyota's official hatchback successor to the Corolla becoming a sedan-only model.

Nope, you're wrong
>>15366091
Good man
Why can't America have fun Corollas? The only ones we get are boring econoboxes
>>15366298
There are okay corollas here you just gotta look
>>15366014
Because doyotas can be good, but only if you're an actual mechanic and not a bolt on turbo kit tuner.
It's like a badge of pride to have a modified corolla
Or a show of inferior self control to buy a car you can't ebay rice the fuck out of
>>15366384
>you should be proud of not having an aftermarket
You dont have one because it's worse than a civic in terms of performance
>>15366298
>>15366416
Yes, because then you can make fun of civic kids for accomplishing the same task with more difficulty to get inferior results. It makes you manly.
>>15366418
What model?

No idea why the USDM Corollas are so much worse looking compared to what it looks like in Australia. Something about the bigger headlights and orange markers at the front really trigger me. Also the Auris is simply branded as the Corolla in Australia.
An AE92 liftback that was poorly maintained by the owner was the best of the worst cars I have ever driven. The shock absorbers were so tired that flicking the wheel would cause the rear to slide and drift out at a low speeds.
Obligatory

is that Orido?

get out of here Solara
>>15366004
Used to have one at 415km unfortunatly it rusted through and the clutch was prettt much gone and none of the windows rolled, i eventually scrapped it but it was the goat first car
>>15367222
The pigfat XRS

>>15370428
It's more of a Celica, but okay.
>>15370703
Actually, it's more of an avensis.
>All of that corolla vs civic bullshit
>not getting a obviously superior Mazda 323F
Enjoy your lack of pop up headlights
>>15370447
2700 lbs it's not too bad.
>>15370787
Actually, its more of a Rav4
I like corollas, and toyotas in general. They are good normie bait and serve as a warning to stay away someone crazy bought this toyota

There was one with a blown head gasket for cheap near me but I could never pull the trigger on it...
>>15372721
there's this ae92 coupe for sale near me but it's so old. I should go with a base model ek civic hatch or something.
I have bad luck I should fucking kill myself

Lol it's a picture of a picture on an old digital point and shoot camera (I think a 2006 camera)
>>15366298
Fun Corollas are no longer made. That stopped around early 2000's.
I'm in the air as to whether I should get a tercel or E100 corolla. The tercel is a bit lighter but the corolla looks like it's easier to live with not to mention more comfortable
>>15374732
Get the corolla, they're both underpowered stock, but at least the Corolla can get out of its own way and the gas mileage is still good
Family rented a beaten to death courier spec 100 series wagon (vinyl interior, 4spd, 4AFE, leaf spring rear beam axle) in Siberia back in 2004 to take out to the mountains/steppe near Mongolia. Put that little thing through real hell. Took some water crossings that had water coming over the hood a bit. Finally the ignition cylinder just got shook apart on the dirt roads. Hot wired it and made it home in one piece. Not my pic here, but absolutely identical (this picture was likewise taken in Russia, unsurprisingly). Toyotas are regarded as the best-fit imports out there. They're durable, have comfortable suspensions compared to most other imports, and are easy to work on. Parts are easily available for Toyotas in Siberia as well.

Swap the head and quit bitching
>>15375444
I'm a student at a university on the other side of the country (On res, no garage). Also broke as fuck and no one's selling 4age for under a grand and i'm not even sure if i'm going to get the 16v or 20v head because i've heard conflicting opinions on the internet
>>15375474
Honestly the 20V Silvertop is the way to go, you can find the engines by themselves for under a grand on ebay
>>15375482
>shipping
>literally having to buy all of the tools since i don't have any in this state
>nowhere to ship the engine to
I would if i could senpai
>>15375482
Also why the 20V silvertop over all the alternatives?
>>15375512
>stronger con-rods
>Bigger combustion chambers than blacktop
>head can actually be port and polished unlike blacktop
>revs only slightly lower than blacktop
>cheaper
The Blacktop is overhyped
My buddy's silvertop swapped AE92 that we're fixing up. Dat 7700 rpm redline. It just has a downpipe at this point, the exhaust exits right below the seat. It's stupid loud.
>>15376657
What the fuck why not get an MR2
>>15376657
So far we've done the timing belt and tensioners, water pump, cooling system flush with new Toyota coolant, oil, valve cover gasket, spark plug wires, cap and rotor, spark plugs, heater core delete, a few other things. But ya. He got a parts car for cheap so we're going to replace the hood and trunk, he wants to go wingless
>>15376666
He actually plans on putting the silvertop in an AW11 eventually. The car was like $1000 with the motor already swapped in so yeah. The engine alone is almost worth that much.
Does anyone know if a 1993 US corolla bumper would fit on a Canada version Corolla
>>15376705
So you agree? FWD is inferior?
>>15377117
Hi Corey, and I agree your argument is inferior and juvenile, just like Miami
>>15377167
nice argument. there is a reason why all actually fast motorsport is awd and rwd
>>15377177
Not an argument
>>15377183
not being argumentive unlike you, just stating facts. keep on with the fwd butthurt though.
Thinking about many new possible options on what to buy when I come back home after 8 years away in euroland without one.
Corolla of course crossed my mind.
Would you pay $5-6k for:
E120 2008 CE model with 60k miles only, apparently babysat with autistic care. All panels/gaps look lined up too.
Other options:
F150 6cil from the 90s, also super clean and never roughed, $3.5k
Civic FA5, stock and clean, $8.5k
Cavalier Z24, stock and clean (well, for an used shitbox chebby), $2k.
>>15377318
>I don't know what thread I'm in
>>15377410
A corolla thread, and I'm looking for opinions on the E120 Corolla.
Unless it's reserved for E100 and older.
>>15377429
Honestly, the Corolla is the one you want, that's a pretty decent price for the mileage, the only reason I suggested it over the F150 is due to the gas mileage cause that truck engine will run forever
>>15377470
Thanks, yeah I'm honestly between those two.
We'll see once I'm back home, maybe someone buys one of those and I'll just buy the one that hasn't been sold.
>>15366014
Corolla always comes out on top
>>15370817
I love mazda. But we didnt get the 323f in murrica.
Plus we have popup corollas
>>15378132
I wonder if that front end would work on an All-Trac E95 Wagon
>>15378266
Yes.
>>15376401
Which ECU? 4AG right?
>>15378902
Yep
>>15379009
On a scale of 1/10 how hard is this to do in a university carpark over a weekend
>>15370817
I miss my BA. Having pillarless doors and a power antenna in a mid 90s shitbox is what all true warriors strive for.
What's the biggest displacement or hp engine I can put in a Toyota corolla from 2012
A pushrod v6?
>>15381707
Anything really depending on the amount of metal work you're able to do
>>15381167
Easier than a weekend LS swap/10
>>15381707
Probably a Toyota V6 from the Camry. The engine code is 2GR-FE. 3.5 liter 268 hp.
>>15372777
It's a damn good car anon I bought a red 88 with 120k miles for my first car. Do it or tell me where you are so I can buy it
>>15374732
Only tercel that is worth getting over a corolla is the 4wd one. Even then it's only nice if you drive on unpaved land more often than the average bloke
>>15376705
Makes me happy to see someone put time and love into the underappreciated ae92
>>15382206
Yeah man! Itll turn heads when it's done, people don't really think about these cars, at least in America. People only know the 86
Pic related is the goal
>>15373183
im moving there soon and the shitbox selection is glorious
>>15382755
If pic related is your goal I hope you got at least 20g's laying around, that dude put serious .one and work into it
It's running a twin scroll 7A-GTE 20V for fuck sake
>>15383171
It's the aesthetic goal haha dw
Ayy Corolla bros. I'm assuming the alternator in my 94 DX is going out? Buddy was driving home in it and said the headlights stopped working entirely.
>>15385479
I mean it could be a blown fuse, could be a lot of things. Usually a dying alternator will make your lights flicker or dim, and your battery to die
>>15385491
Well the battery light has been on a bit according to him. Also car has been stuttering.
>>15385491
Just did some voltage tests.
>12.5 car off
>12.2 car running
>12 car running with headlights on
Also heard some whistling in the engine bay so it must be the alternator. Never changed one before but at least it's easy to reach unlike the starter in these cars.
>>15381947
I don't know if that's impossible or not
>>15387859
I wouldn't recommend doing it in a college parking lot, not saying it can't be done that way
>>15385549
Those sound like good voltage readings to me man
>>15370787
>>15370910
>>15372808
The tC does share its basic platform with the Corolla. However, it's more closely related to the Avensis. The Corolla has a torsion beam rear axle. The Avensis/tC had a multi-link IRS. And the Avensis was based on the last generation Toyota Celica, which also shared its platform with the Corolla while hacing the IRS vs twist beam rear suspension differences.
I vote the tC be allowed in Corolla threads on the basis that the entire rear suspension could, theoretically, bolt right into a Corolla as a proper upgrade.
>>15388411
Been looking around and it should be higher with the car running. The engine does respond better with the air and accessories off too.
Gonna try to hit up a junkyard soon for a replacement alternator.
