Toyota Rookie First Mods

[jay_rolla]

Hey I'm jay, proud owner of a 1990 AE92 corolla se running on a stock 4afc. What would be the most basic/easiest/cheap/effective mods be for a rookie such as myself? I'm thinking about working a bit on both interior and exterior a bit just to start off but mainly a few basic mods under the bonnet. Any advice/pointers on this model?

welcome to rollaclub

extractors and good air intake makes a little differance and a good exhaust all the way threw.

4age 16v, 4agze, 4age 20v conversion whatever floats ya boat.

you might not have this problem but i did with my 4afc.it wouldnt turn over for very long and on really cold mornings the battery went flat very quick, i upgrated my battery don't have a problem now.

welcome aboard rollaclub

 

sorry to burst ur bubble but the se had a 6afc not a 4afc (unless of course the 6a was replaced at some stage)

 

oh and yes i'll agree with to quick on the other mods. but i will add to do ur suspension and make it handle. :y:

Some Super Lows wouldn't go astray...

what's the difference between 6afc and 4afc?

my bad.. still trying to figure out everything about the car.

And what size rims would be suitable for this car?

np jay. the 4afc is a 1.6 and, the 6afc is a 1.4

 

rims well u have a large selection from 14's up to 17's (although there are rollas out there with 18's :y:)

Welcome to Rolla club.... arent all Corolla owners proud? :D My understanding of the rules in SA at least says that you can go up to 2 sizes bigger than stock. Stock AE92's only came out stock with 13's and 14's from memory so the 17's I thought would be out! Do you know something I don't MYSTIK ( In relation to wheel sizes anyway :y: ). It will probably vary from state to state so depending on where you are the rules change. It might be worth adding location to your profile so people can answer accordingly.

 

As for a 6afc...were they a bit of a rarity over here in the AE92? I can't remember ever seeing a 1.4 AE92.

ahh i see.. I'm situated in melbourne, vic. Does anyone know the whereabouts of finding 4age engines?

They don't make superlows anymore

 

Kings lows are fine...

 

Big rims and low springs don't match, especially on FWD rollas..

oh boohoo u made me cry... :y: .

 

a new engine is prob the right way to go, but remember it's more than just the engine you'll have to change! I've put in a bit so far with the 4afc and it's ok but it's gonna take longer again to get the results that i want... doesn't help when i've got a rattly cat :D .

i didnt say the 17's would be legal but they are an option and they can be made to fit as there are a many ae92's in qld with 17's :jamie:

 

and yes the ae92 se are a rare find although i did find one that was in u pull it elizabeth while i was last there :( was almost all complete, only problem was front end decided that it wanted to meet another vehicle :D

G'day Jay, welcome to rollaclub.

 

I've got an AE90 SE running a 6AF carby engine.

 

Because i didn't have a budget for a conversion, so all i did was replaced the standard carby with a weber 32/36 and a 2" straight Through exhaust. As for future plans power wise, none, unless i go for a conversion. I've got low king springs added, superlow wouldn't be recommended if you hate the sound of scraping over speed bumps.

 

As for my interior, is mainly stock, but added my own 2 12's and front 6" splits.

 

All that i need is some new wheels, currently still running stock 13s which is kinda sad, but you get that.

 

You can find my ride in the projects section.

 

Cheers,

 

Daven
