would this be an AE86? or is it too late in production to have one?

i just read on a website that they were 84 to 87? is that right?

if its not, what models came with the ae86 during which years for the UK market? any definitive answers?

[Tenman]

nope its FWD for a start :ghey:

[StuyMac]

I think ae86 refers to the chassis :confused:

[Draven]

ghey, so which ones are the right ones?

[Draven]

so did we get the ae86 with the whatever 1.6 engine?

[dtmpower]

Its obvious you are a AE86' band wagoner , as thats the most lame corolla ever made and its 5 door :) The 86 is a jap icon....

[StuyMac]

The ae86 had a 1.6 16v twin cam motor, I think its the same engine as the corolla GT (or GTi) but these where FWD.

The ae86's where RWD, and look a little like an S12 silvia (Same basic shape)

i honestly dont give a flying fook if i look like a "bandwagoner" i'm interested in this car for a number of reasons, one being that my daughters boyfriend will be needing a car within the next 12 months
another being that i like their retro 80's looks and i would like to know more about them
which is kinda hard when you cant even find out what the hell it was called in this country and if/when it was available here

[PulsatingStar]

Was called a Corolla GT Coupe

[StuyMac]

Think Im getting the wrong end of the stick here, and getting a little confused :confused:

Are you interested in an ae86 Corolla, or the Corolla in the piccy?

Sorry if my past posts have been confusing :(

[Draven]

wasnt you stuy ;)
anyways, trying to find out what the ae86 was here, corolla gt coupe, thanks pulsatingstar :thumbs:
so theyre pretty much rocking horse poop then over here
so is the 84-87 fairly accurate, excluding any late registrations of old stock?
i guess most went the way of 80's jap cars did they, mostly brown piles of metal-oxide left?

I think the majority now reside in Ireland

the last AE86 in this country was in, 1986 afaik - its the twin cam corolla... you can find them quite easily on www.findit.co.uk/cars

EDIT - findit has gone downhill ??

anyway there is a single cam version too, so watch out for that cuz its only about 95hp I think.

EDIT 2 - proper link, find it is once again cool :thumbs: http://www.findit.co.uk/cars.htm (http://www.findit.co.uk/cars/toyota/corolla.htm)

[Draven]

cheers theory :thumbs:

couldnt get findit to work earlier either

[twinturboch]

Ever ad on findit is a wanted, no-one selling GT's :(

My ex had a super cool black one a couple of years ago, but sold it to one of his mates, it has now been sold on again so is probably floating around somewhere.
He has just imported a white one over from japan (i helped him choose it :D ).
Have to say that they are pretty cool cars, and they do wipe the smiles off boy racers faces in their scoobies when it whooops their a*$e!!! :thumbs:

[Sibbers]

There's a nice (expenisve) one or three in the for sale section of this very board!
