More With Toyota Corolla GL 2E Engine 1984

Ini kisah tentang Toyota Corolla GL AE80 Tahun 1984...

Saya menemukan tiga komentar dan alasan yang berbeda, kenapa orang mau membeli Toyota Corolla GL tahun 1983-1986.

Alasan dan komentar pertama : "It is cheap to run"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

When I bought the car it had worn brake pads. The exhaust pipe had holes including the muffler.

Also the C.V's were worn. The body had minor rust.
General comments?

I have always wanted an 86 Corolla just because I like the shape. And I bought the car because parts for the model are so cheap.

Alasan dan komentar kedua : "Economical, perfect student car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator needed reconditioning. Idle-compensator not working (but not essential) Rust in door arches, around windscreen and back passenger windows.
General comments?
A very reliable car. Extremely cheap to run (800kms on one tank of petrol on the open road). Reluctantly sold due to rust. Can go just about anywhere!

Alasan dan kometar ketiga : "A low budget performance car!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Since I have owned this car I have had to replace the alternator at a cost of $66. I will also need to buy an alternator belt, replaced the wiper blades, right-hand high/medium globe. For something with so many kms on it, the interior is doing well. Broken window wiper and glove box hinge. Fuel gauge not working properly.

General comments?

The Twin Cam Corolla is a great car and very fuel-efficient. I have placed aftermarket struts in mine so the handling is even better. A sports exhuast system gives it a little more go. Also, a set of king springs improve looks and make it a real buzz to drive. My car already has 350,000 kays on the dial tho' I feel it could do that again.

Di banyak negara, mobil ini masih digunakan orang dan masih diperjualbelikan.

Kelihatannya memang benar kalau mobil ini cheap, economical dan low budget.

Dengan alasan itu pula saya ikut punya yang buatan tahun 1984, sudah tangan ke 3. Then I change it colour with black.

Detailnya sudah saya upload di http://www.cardomain.com

Tetapi sebenarnya yang membuat saya sangat tertarik adalah hasil modifikasi mobil ini yang dilakukan oleh Rollabus di Hobart, Australia. Benar-benar memberikan inspirasi.

Dan sebaliknya, kalau sampai lihat mobil sejenis yang keluyuran di jalan-jalan Kota Batam. Ah, bisa bikin pikiran jadi lain.
