squid Posted February 6, 2008 Report Posted February 6, 2008 Hi I'm new to this forum and am pleased to find such a great following of corollas. :sob: I recently bought a 1992 Ae 95 Wagon, since I'm new to Australia I was a bit unknowing in regards to these cars. I love toyota and trust corollas so I happily snapped the car up when I came across it. :( Heres the thing. Fisrt of all I imediately love these cars (Weve had ours for a few months now) but the one we have is very plain and although I like not having power windows etc I do want other items extreamely bad. ;) So I'm on the hunt I want the best AE 95 that you can get. So what is it? I saw the black top conversion going on this site and noticed it looked to have the Gt interior. Did they make an AE 95 with the sport seats full instrument cluster strut cross supports rear roof storage front roof console etc etc? :y: Any out of Japan with turbos/superchargers etc? :bash: Basically I want to know which AE95 was the highest speced car made and was it available in Australia? :hail: Thanks Quote
phife Posted February 6, 2008 Report Posted February 6, 2008 In Australia, the AE95 Corolla wagon was offered in two specifications. The base model XL and the slightly better SR5. Mechanically they were identical, differences were mainly cosmetic (SR5 had alloy wheels, better seats, tacho etc) There are no factory spec supercharged/turboed AE95. The top of the line model would most likely be a fully optioned JDM Toyota Carib which had full electrics including air suspension, abs etc. These are very rare to find in Australia as they were never sold here and the ones you do see were imported privately. There have been a couple of modified wagons done with either turbo or supercharge. My brother (kebin on this forum) has one with a supercharged 4AGZE engine installed, he has a worklog if interested on the toymods forum. Quote
Corolla_Gurl Posted February 7, 2008 Report Posted February 7, 2008 (edited) i also have a ae95 wagon... i have a blacktop 20v in mine soon to be supercharged, getting anything is aftermarket can be a pain but damn its worth it :) not many of them around with stuff done to em so you will deff stand out :) oh and btw the rear end has bombawhore struts....trust me its good to know when lowering your ae95. post some pics of yours :( You can find mine in the Rides & Projects section of this site. i picked mine up for $355 as it had a over heating problem no one could find/fix one thermostat later and we are running like a dream..... but decided to put a 20v in for some fun Edited February 7, 2008 by Corolla_Gurl Quote
squid Posted February 7, 2008 Author Report Posted February 7, 2008 Thanks for the info. The guy that sold it to me said it was an SR5. Since I was unfamiliar whith these I thought it just didnt have a few options on it. live and learn I guess. Corolla Girl love your car BTW. :) Did you guys then put in the 7 guage cluster? Are your seats factory? they look like the ones in the GT rollas. Also do you have some stuff off yours you are looking to sell as you upgrade? Now I'm thinking I may either Mod this one or get another one good for a project and do it up........mmmmmm decisions. :( I will try to send pictures once I take care of this Trogen Horse Generic 9.AVXE that I got a couple days ago while downloading the latest drivers for my puter after doing a reformat. sheesh :) Quote

squid Posted February 8, 2008 Author Report Posted February 8, 2008 Thanks again. Ill have to suss out the wiring schematic for the cluster and see if I can get my hands on one. looks like I will have to start a wanted thread of all the parts Ill be looking for. cheers :) Quote

Let me know if your chasing any diagrams etc. etc. As for AE95's in general...... We need more modified ones!!! Quote
squid Posted February 11, 2008 Author Report Posted February 11, 2008 Thanks. Well Ill definitely be modding her. Ive done many projects in the past but that was in Canada. I find it much harder here to get what you need and suppliers willing to help. |blink| I know exactly how I want it to be when I'm done but getting it to that stage will be a nightmare and I will be told over and over that it can't be done I'm sure. I will no doubt have to make compromises but I'm hopeful that this forum will be my savior. ;) Shawn Quote
