| welcome, the ae101 is a really good cars, reliable, lightweight (around 1050kg for a 4 door saloon isn't that bad), and parts are quite easy to find (stock not aftermarket)
We have members from around the world who are more than happy to share info regarding anything you need to know about them
fast.. yes, they came with a 4age 20v (1.6L, 160bhp) engine, depends where you are to be honest though, as the ae101 with 4age wasn't available everywhere.
however there are countless swaps available for the ae101, i have a 3sge (2.0L, 196bhp after some modding) in mine currently which isn't bad for 20+ yr old toyota that was came out of the factory with 88bhp, but can easily fit a 3sgte (2.0L, 255bhp). | |

| and if you have the standar 1.6l or 1.8 and don`t want to change engine , you can swap the jdm gearbox from a 1.6 4age og 4agze. it have the top speed at 180kmh insted of the 220-240kmh ( 1.6 4afe will go to 220 kmh in 3 minutes with full thottel , takes LOOOOOOOOONG time after 180kmh ) p.s. I tested this in germany on the autoban ( no speed limit road ) edit : i think its the same with 1.3l 4efe, if you get a jdm 4efte ( turbo 1.3l ) the top speed will be 180 kmh . you pick up speed faster with this gearboxes becuse og the gear`s inside are diffrent | |

| basic principle to making it go faster without an engine swap would be to reduce weight | |

| Ok yeah but from what I have been reading stock engine is not very fast so I will have to reduce a lot of weight but also later on I will most likely do a swap with a 4age or a 3sgte | |
