Howieau Posted May 2, 2009 Report Posted May 2, 2009 Hey I'm trying to chase down an AE82 Twincam workshop manual but am having no luck. All the manuals I am finding 'exclude Twincam' models. Could anybody point me in the right direction as to where I can purchase an AE82 Twincam workshop manual, or if you have one you wish to sell? More specifically my corolla is a 1986 bluetop 4age AE82 Thanks in advance. Quote
towe001 Posted May 2, 2009 Report Posted May 2, 2009 As far as i know about the only way to get one is the toyota factory manuals - One for the motor, one for the body and one for the chassis. But as their a little hard to get, my suggestion is for a Haynes manual and a Gergorys manual - the Haynes covers the motor and most of the twincam stuff (but its for both the ae82 and ae92) and whereas the Gergorys covers what the Haynes misses over. But still be on the look out for the factory manual on the motor cause it covers what the Haynes does and doesn't cover. Quote
Hiro Protagonist Posted May 3, 2009 Report Posted May 3, 2009 Best two books are the following: Toyota 4AGE engine manual ("blue book") Toyota Corolla FF chassis manual ("yellow book", doesn't cover rear disc brakes though) Quote
parrot Posted May 3, 2009 Report Posted May 3, 2009 4AGE manual (blue book) is here and comes up on ebay often enough. Can probably still get it from Toyota. The Haynes manual isn't too bad, and is also easily available. Quote
Hiro Protagonist Posted May 3, 2009 Report Posted May 3, 2009 Where as the Haynes does The Haynes manual (same with the Ellerys one) is a compromise, it covers so many models that you often seem unsure whether it is actually accurate or not. Especially when they seem to ignore a particular model for an entire section. Quote
