Just bought a 90 corolla from a friend. It's a GTS model so that means it has a 4age!! Lol. I paid $500 for it. It needs the valve seals replaced and it has a little bit of rust on the left front fender. No big deal, Im an autobody tech so I can handle it.

It's so JDM that it even has window tints that faded to dark pink! I like it lol. I have a 12" Alpine sub and a Kenwood amp I'm putting in. No pics yet because I'm too lazy but it's white with some chrome steelie style wheels.

My plans are to straight pipe it in January when it's legal here and lower it. Probably some nice 16s and a fresh paint job.

Also it's stick! With a brand new clutch, a nice stainless header, and a cold air intake. Idk what I wanna do besides straight pipe and slam it with wheels lmao.

sounds mint bro, is it a trueno?

Posted by: Kevin Jul 22 2014, 04:43 AM

My first car was a DX and I love the GTS
AE92s are cool welcome to the 4a club
is it a blue top or red top?
post pics. Also maybe you should stick with 15s 4x114.3 rims that are 16 are gonna be expensive.

Posted by: nhra1625 Jul 22 2014, 07:58 AM

It has flippies bruh. Lol.

Kevin, I'm pretty sure it's a blue top. How do I know for sure?

Posted by: Ryuu Jul 22 2014, 08:37 AM

cOOL, need pictures

Posted by: Kevin Jul 22 2014, 04:10 PM

Do a Levin convert with a chargespeed lip

Blue tops for the ae92 come with TVIS and have blue lettering on the valve cover
Red tops are obviously red lettered but don't have TVIS for their highcompression
you could see all this on the engine or look in your manual

Congrats on da whip, Peter.

Post somethin on instagram I wanna see

Posted by: Kevin Jul 22 2014, 10:37 PM

Agree'd Toyota kept their s**t together, they made the 20v
I plan to get another 92 cause they are bitchin cars
who cares if its fwd

Posted by: MeGustav Jul 23 2014, 12:24 AM

i was being sarcastic
i personally love the ae92, my mom used to have the trueno, which is crazy to me since my mom drove something with a 4age lulz
but many people think it was the worst thing to make it fwd

Posted by: nhra1625 Jul 23 2014, 02:12 AM

And I haven't been around in a while...who are you?

If you're Malik I hate you too buddy

Posted by: nhra1625 Jul 23 2014, 02:15 AM

I have only seen one other 92 and it was a trueno. Not the biggest fan of the trueno honestly. Plus that one was a rolling shell and it was beat to hell :/

Posted by: MeGustav Jul 23 2014, 02:34 AM

yes, it is malik

but is top secret so shush Petre

Posted by: nhra1625 Jul 23 2014, 06:54 AM

is it like this?

Posted by: Kevin Jul 23 2014, 05:06 PM

I think the 92 trueno is a little awkward up front. It should have had the boxy front like the original trueno not the weird roundish one. Also the indicators under the pop ups are huge lol
But Levin AE92s are just perfect. When I get my next 92 I will do a Levin convert


and this is my all time fav

Posted by: JoviBlue Jul 23 2014, 06:37 PM

I think theyre cool, just dont feel the FWD is right in it :/ Reminds me a lot of the early soarers

Posted by: nhra1625 Jul 23 2014, 06:48 PM

Yea I'm not a fan of FWD but for 500 bucks I any complain at all. I need a car for when I go off to college in September and this will do just fine.

Posted by: JoviBlue Jul 23 2014, 08:16 PM

Yeah for that money its amazing, pictures soon please

Posted by: MeGustav Jul 23 2014, 08:35 PM

thats exactly how i feel, its part of the demise of the affordable rwd sports car

Posted by: Illest. Jul 24 2014, 02:02 AM

needs more pictures

Posted by: nhra1625 Aug 26 2014, 06:22 AM

pictures are for people with too much time on their hands.

Posted by: nhra1625 Sep 20 2014, 04:51 PM

this car is a money pit! But i will not give up.

I still have to get the damn valve keeper tool and do the valve seals. But the best part is that i went to the hospital for a week and came home to see that my top tank on my radiator had dried out enough to crack 6 inches... f**k.

Posted by: Noodles Sep 20 2014, 11:23 PM

ls1 swap it you noob

Posted by: nhra1625 Sep 21 2014, 03:42 AM

Im gonna 20v 4age swap it. Only 4 more valves then what i have now

I just need to buy a damn radiator before the crack gets worse and i overheat...

Posted by: Kevin Sep 21 2014, 04:19 AM

lol good luck with a 20v swap the water cooling system is a nightmare

also you never followed me back on instagram >:(

Posted by: nhra1625 Sep 27 2014, 04:28 PM

Ok guys, finally some pics!!!


Exhaust is finally done. Still blowing oil though but it looks cool #justaintcare


Tow strap because no factory tow hook since no reinforcement.


Took me about 2 hours to get the damn cam gear cover off.


Honestly the best purchase ive made since I bought the car. I feel confident that the wheel is solid and not gonna fall apart in my hands like my old one was doing

Posted by: nhra1625 Dec 14 2014, 03:12 AM

Anyone wanna buy a piece of s**t?? Make an offer.

Posted by: Noodles Dec 17 2014, 02:44 AM

lol dont give up man

Posted by: Thor Dec 17 2014, 09:10 AM

lol.

Posted by: nhra1625 Dec 20 2014, 03:08 PM

The engine mount is in the way. There's a post that goes through the center of the cover that was in the way...

Posted by: Illest. Dec 20 2014, 05:01 PM

i want that wheel nice GT92

Posted by: nhra1625 Dec 23 2014, 04:21 AM

ae92. and its not for sale now. It finally runs and its never run better!!!

Posted by: Oggy May 12 2015, 05:33 PM

Sweet dude. Def 20v it. A friend here has a ST 92. Super easy swap since it stays horizontally mounted. Problems (and money) come when you turn to the side and bolt a T50 to it.

Posted by: MeGustav May 18 2015, 02:04 PM

i've been trying to convince my dad to put a wheel like that on his mazda tribute lmao
