I just hope it isnt another one of those kids who watched initial D too much,
so he thinks his 120hp corolla will be every0ne wit teh mAd l337 driving skills


hahahahha

I also like corollas but yeah, them along with 240's got ass fcked by the mainstream, and it is sad because it is now going to move onto fc's

How well would a 3S-GTE fit in that AE86, since it is light weight?

it fits well, and it is a common upgrade (usually just the 3SGE beams motor, but some people go GTE right off the bat) as well as the s2k motor and even those stupid rotaries.

It fits fine, only problem, issss, Its a VERY tecnical and difficult swap.

Adapting a front wheel/allwheel drive motor to rear wheel drive, all custom exhaust.

I don't see why people just stick with 4A-GE, Comes in many flavors, one is right for you.

well i found out that the ST models have trunk lids instead of hatches.

"st" is the entry level celica.

"sr5" was the top of the line in trim on the truck line (p/u, 4runners) which later became the "limited" models, and sr5 became a mid-grade pkg.

 

[ForcedTorque]

It had something to do with upgrading other Toyotas to have similar options to what the Supra had standard

 

[GrimJack]

SR5 originally meant Sport Rally 5-speed.

A few years later, they started putting all kinds of options in the SR5 trim, like automatic transmissions and leather seats.

 

[RazoE]

it means different shit on different models...

In regards to the Corolla, the SR5 is the shittiest trim you could've gotten. It's the economy version, pretty much our equivalent to the Hachi go (AE85 or Levin) since we never officially got one. It had a SOHC 1.6L inline 4 that was carburated. The GT-S is our equivalent of the Hachi Roku (AE86 or Trueno) and had a DOHC 1.6L inline 4 with EFI. This one had the 4AGE, two levels of this engine, the 16 valved one and the 20 valved one.

Interesting fact...chassis code in US for SR5 is AE86 and for GT-S is AE88

Holy crap and misinformation galore.

Levin and Trueno both came in both AE85 and AE86 models and both had the same options.

The SR5 is not the lowest trim level of the AE86 in North America, the DX was.

The chassis code for them in North America is AE86, for EVERY one. AE85 is used in DX VIN's, AE86 is used in SR5 VIN's, and AE88 is used in GT-S VIN's. None of these have anything to do with the chassis code.

All RWD 5th Generation Corollas with a 3A block are AE85, and all RWD 5th Generation Corollas with a 4A block are AE86. Whether they have the 3A-U, 4A, 4A-C, 4A-GE, or 4A-GEC engine, the head doesn't matter for chassis code.

i believe its like their luxury/sports model. SR5 4runners are always the most expensive. Things like sunroof leather interior... etc etc..

SR5 means different things depending on year. For newer models the Limited was the top end model, not the SR5.

try again. sr5's came in 4 cylanders or 6's. (22re, 3vze, 3uzfe, 5uzfe) (i think those last two are right for the '95+ models)

22R, 22R-E, 2TR-FE, 3TR-FE, 3VZ-E, 3VZ-FE, and 5VZ-FE.

SR5 originally meant Sport Rally 5-speed.

A few years later, they started putting all kinds of options in the SR5 trim, like automatic transmissions and leather seats.

Agreed, that is what it originally meant, now it's just a trim level like LE, SE, VE, CE, XLE, blah blah, means different things on different cars.

 

[annoyingrob]

Awww, and I was going to comment on the 5UZ thing, but you did it first. Way to ruin my fun.

 

[bigaaron]

On my 90 4x4 Toyota truck the SR5 was extra cab, automatic disconnecting 4wd front hubs, 31" factory tire option, and a sunroof.
SR5 basically meant something like "limited edition", and I'm sure calling it something extra was just a gimmic to increase sales of the higher end models.
