Dan Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Possibly a Tercell ? Ive got a pic here somewhere.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted January 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 the Tercel (apart from being ubbber ugly) - is AWD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Yup, except to what ive been told, they were 3AC's - and they were Ae80's - slooow things :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted January 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clown Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Offtopic: The early orig aw11's (aw10 to be correct) had 3au's aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st.nick Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 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!!!!!

Dan Posted January 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boost+k Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 (edited) 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, 2006 by Boost+k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted January 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted January 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 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.

Clown Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 chances on an ae85 in oz are about as high as a *e7* coupe but we can hope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted January 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Well, he did say that it was an import though. Hence my optimism :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
