September 28, 201016 yr comment_472040 Hey, recently i've been interested in buying a 1980 or so corolla as i'm getting my license soon and the new turbo rule is coming in to play... I have searched everywhere for information on the differences between these models.. Which ones weren't originated in Australia? What model would be the easiest to bolt mods straight onto? What model had the original quad headlights?.. Any information on these models would be very helpful! Thanks! Report
September 28, 201016 yr comment_472053 Which ones weren't originated in Australia? ae70 didnt come to aus (there are a few around, not many) the other two did What model would be the easiest to bolt mods straight onto? depends what you want to bolt in, suspension is all the same, ae70/71 run an A motor, Ke70 run a k motor What model had the original quad headlights?.. none in AUS, its the te71's in overseas countries that have quads. Any information on these models would be very helpful! too broad of a question mate:P Report
September 28, 201016 yr comment_472060 buy an ae71 buy an ae71 if you wanna put a 4age in it buy a ke70 if you wanna make a 4k scream Report
September 28, 201016 yr comment_472063 buy an ae71 if you wanna put a 4age in it buy a ke70 if you wanna make a 4k scream even if you make a 4k scream you'll have about the same power as a 4ac. ae71 is a far smarter buy. Report
September 28, 201016 yr comment_472105 i never said anything about power outputs. just that if you wanna make a 4k scream get a ke70. Report

September 28, 201016 yr comment_472140 a worked 4k will shit all over 4ac. I had an ae71 spirit and rebuilt the 4ac.... poo monkeys.... And do the same amount of work to a 4a :bash: Report
September 28, 201016 yr Author comment_472218 Thanks for all the helpful information... now what would be the difference between an ae70 and ae71? just year? Report
September 29, 201016 yr comment_472248 And probably damned hard to find in Australia too... If you are just getting your licence... exactly how many mods are you allowed to do to your car from a legal perspective? I got the impression these days mods were a no no for a newly licensed driver? Edited September 29, 201016 yr by silverra23 Report
September 29, 201016 yr comment_472356 NSW Vehicle and passenger conditions for P1 and P2 licence holders: "Engine performance modifications that require an engineers' certificate (are prohibited)" That means no 4AG in a corolla if you want to be legal. Most other engine mods should be ok though. Early 80's common Australian corollas are KE70, AE71 or AE82. There's heaps of info around on all but basically all you need to know is -> AE71: RWD 4AC with 87hp Slanty front only Not many bits around to make your engine faster Easier to do 4AG engine swap (4AGE = 120/130hp, 4AGE 20valve = 160hp, 4AGZE = 165hp) KE70: RWD 4KC with 60hp Most are square front, later ones were slanty Lots of bits around to make your engine faster Easy to do 5KC engine swap (70hp?) AE82: FWD 4AC with 87hp OR 4AGE with 120HP Hatchback, liftback or sedan Lots of bits around to make your engine faster Personally I'd say AE71 if you don't want to mod your engine or plan to put a 4AG engine in later. OR KE70 if you want to mod your engine and / or like the square front. OR AE82 if you want power, don't mind FWD and like the hatch or liftback. Please correct any of my mistakes.
