im sorry but my AE92 takes the cake

Sorry to go off topic, but whatever, my Sister was considering an AE92 as her first car, which I am all for, I cant count the amount of ppl who praise the name of these corolla's.

The only thing that I wasn't overly thrilled about was the fact that it has a carby.... is it worth spending a bit more for the AE93 to get fuel injection??

Any advice appreciated :)

haha no i didnt mean it as a bad thing... well.. i dunno :)

i bought my AE92 off a female owner who had it involved in several minor crashes.. she had owned it for 5 years and NEVER serviced it... I paid $300 for it with rego, and i changed the oil.. which was like sludge, changed the plugs and various other things.

Ive owned it for over a year now and its never let me down apart from a front brake line splitting and causing me to hit a tree and unable to stop.

all in all ive spent 200 on it. and it is THE most reliable car. its got fantastic air con, heating, power steer, and its efi.

however it looks like the biggest heap of shit on the fact of earth :)

I thought the AE92's were all carby.. and the AE93 had the EFI ?

nah. the Diff between a AE92 and 93 is trim spec mainly.

theres the base model, carby with drum rears, then mid spec, which is 4afe efi with drum rears, and then ae92 seca which is 4age and 4 wheel disk

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
