5 years ago these were $2000-$3000 in NZ. Now they’re worth $15000

I knew that syndrome isnt just affecting the 5th gen gt alone but the rest of the corollas that came before it

@@imachamp68 I bought my first one in Thames for $2000 in 2001

@@imachamp68 can still pick up the odd one for under 5k. 92s and 101s still going fairly cheap but 82s always listed pretty high these days.

yea we have probably a few tens of them in NZ, most people abused them tho so they're scrap, can get a project for under 5k deregistered, or a road legal rough shape one for over 10k

No way you could convince me that you hear or feel the tvis. I've tried with it fully functional and deleted. I don't think it does anything.

@@wannabecarguy 3:05 you can hear the tvis whistle up until 4000 rpm when the butterflies open and the engine note changes.. you wouldnt feel it on the but dyno but you would see some effect on a dyno chart..

@@rickjames3034 110%

@@wannabecarguy Garage 4age has a bigport dyno video showing dyno runs with tvis on and off; keeping it on with the oem switchrange produced the best curve area for non ITB setups on the bigport.

You got a 7th gen lift back?

@@bryan10444 Yer, suppose it is a liftback.

@@kaceyfortune9828 nice! I got a usdm sedan with a 20v swap and FXGT front bumper

AE101 are very nice cars you got yourself a treat

Everything was on pause for a beat. The FX was moving to a new home.

Guilty as charged here too, had to get the stuff before people blew up so many of them that it got too expensive for hobby-use.

We’ll have to park them them together :)

Thank you! The 20v is getting some maintenance love but will be ripping soon enough.

@@sushpants i cant wait!

@@doctorunicorn5550 You never hear him rev it to the limit here, but if it's a stock car I guarantee it'll end at 7500rpm regardless what the revgauge says. There were closer to 7-8 variants and that's just the N/A's, if we count the various types of superchargers fitted to all combinations of 16v engine blocks and heads we're at closer to 12-13. 20v Silvertop was the first 20 valve to come out, in 1991, that's 4 years after AE82 production ended. They kept the higher rev-gauges for people modifying their cars for motorsport, basically a gesture by Toyota "here you go, no need to install a revgauge". Motorsport was a key aspect of what the 16v rolla's were about (RWD and FWD). Production of the AE82 ended before a higher reving (supported by Toyota dealerships) stock 4A-GE's could be supplied to road-going factory stock AE82's, but factory engines were certainly modified into screamers for race use, and they probably foresaw enthusiasts swapping in newer engines with time as well, thus, the higher rev-gauges ^^

I also have an 88 base fx and its my favorite car ive ever owned. Picked it up for 500 bucks all original condition. Now its got a supercharged 2.0L out of an 07 cobalt ss (still a wip).

Buy one if you can! Even the SOHC versions are fun little cars for a fraction of the twincam price.

@@blackroseruby i want to, but im kinda underage, and we dont have a space for another car

If you notice at @1:26 this car has the holes on the firewall for that brace so it came with it, it's just that someone swapped it for an aftermarket one

That’s going to be super fun!

I have owned a owned 4 Corolla E90's - 2 EE90 1,3 12v (carburettor) hatchback, a CE90 1.8 diesel (non-turbo) station wagon and lastly a AE92 1.6 4A-FE 105 hp. (named GSi in Denmark) In my opinion they are just as glued to the road surface as the AE82 is. Great fun in the corners on a twisting small road.

The FX16 is still with me. It’s getting a cooling system upgrade.

Big big mistake. Loved these and the next model I’m guessing a decent example will set you back a bit in SA if you can find one. I remember them well.

same in Denmark, and now they are extremely hard to get, because they're all rusted away

no way

He said right

@The Wanderer fair point
