January 18, 200620 yr comment_96544 Well I got chatting to a towie that collects the old cars for scrap metal. He reckons that at the moment he has two corollas in his front yard, one ae82 shitbox and an "import RWD corolla with a 3a-u engine in it". I've tried googling it and the only corolla I can find, through foriegn Toyota engine lists, is the 'AE60' model corolla. Except for the fact that I can't find any AE60s that exist on google, or rollaclub. I presume that it must be an AE50 or KE50, and it was simply a typo on the engine list. Can anyone help me with this? Cheers, Dan. Report
January 18, 200620 yr Author comment_96549 Tercel being one of those rolla wagons? I know the 3a-u is a 1497cc (close to that anyway :cool:) engine. I thought that any after late 80's corolla was front wheel drive, or AWD.... Cheers, Dan. Report
January 18, 200620 yr comment_96592 Yup, except to what ive been told, they were 3AC's - and they were Ae80's - slooow things :cool: Report
January 18, 200620 yr Author comment_96594 Thought the Tercell would be both AWD and too new for scrap metal.... Wonder what it is, I'll get him to get some more info.... Dan. Report
January 18, 200620 yr comment_96612 Offtopic: The early orig aw11's (aw10 to be correct) had 3au's aswell. Report
January 18, 200620 yr comment_96614 Not all "tercels" were the 4wd wagons.... I had a pic of a tercel that looked like a down-syndrome love child of a KE70 2dr and a mitsubishi nimbus!! UUUUUUUUUUGGGGLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! Report
January 18, 200620 yr Author comment_96631 Hehe I hope its the downsyndromes love child of a corolla, cos that sort of thing appeals to me... Lol. He is going to send me some pictures anyway, so I'll soon work out what it is... Dan. Report
January 19, 200620 yr comment_96691 it might be a toyota corolla II, i had one its the model after the rwd but before the ae82 fxgt and it had a 3a-u mounted north-south BUT the diff is sorta under the motor making it fwd.. i brought mine at a auction thinking it was rwd, got home did a skid.. was rather confused, crawed under and wow theres driveshafts under the front :cool: or its a AE86 levin/tureno :) Edited January 19, 200620 yr by Boost+k Report
January 19, 200620 yr Author comment_96693 ae86 Yeah I wish; i think everyone knows how good they are :cool: Maybe its the corollaII, soon i'll have a pic anyway. Dan. Report
January 19, 200620 yr Author comment_96733 Well, by the end of the night, I should have a photo of the car. According to him, its had a small bingle in the front, is RWD and has a 3A-U engine, and is an import. Gee I hope it is an AE85... somehow, for $100, i doubt it :cool: but I can get my hopes up.

January 19, 200620 yr comment_96734 chances on an ae85 in oz are about as high as a *e7* coupe but we can hope! Report
January 19, 200620 yr Author comment_96735 Well, he did say that it was an import though. Hence my optimism :cool: Report
