Hi From Kent

I really hope I found the right place, I have just brought a car and I am looking to modify it and do stuff too it. Not sure what yet and tbh I am having mega problems in finding out what or where I should go for parts.

I pick it up tommorow and was woundering if you could all tell me if im right by saying this is a E10 or AE101 or what im confused and I have seen some GT's on this forum are they the same?



I only paid £425 for it with a years mot and 111k on the clock. few bumps and scraps but nowt major. What do you think? good buy?

Oh and hello to everyone sorry i a bit excited haha lol havent had a car for a few years lol

hello and welcome mate,

thats the gxi, came with a 7afe engine, its actually an ae102. thats the code for it.

its cheap for £425

what parts would you be after?

Ishaq

yes the engine is very good, its about 120bhp, 1800cc

theres afew kits out there for these..

holy crap 120hp? damn i didnt expect that lol

any decent vids u can link me?

yeah they go alright..

not many videos, but they did come with afew nice optional extras, like fog lights, rear brake discs, comfy 20v seats (had them in mine, very comfy) and afew other bits,

but heres a video of a 1.6 corolla vs golf gti about 2:20 (top gear)

and yours is a 1.8

Welcome knite! Nice car, and good luck fixing it up. It looks to be in good shape from the picture, except the front bumper could use a paint!

thx gold yeh i think the bumpers might get changed once I learn what will fit and what wont

and thx miib that video is awesome haha didnt expect it to be that quick tbh the missus said it felt pokey when she took it for test drive

cant wait to get this car tommorow and im loving this forum and looking at all the pics of others looks like a great forum and you guys are much more welcoming the other forum i joined to c if i could find some more info dont seem interested in old rollas just the new style ones

cant wait to chat with u guys and thanks for all the help allready no doubt there will be more questions lol

Welcome dude! The more Hatch's and liftbacks I see overseas, the more I wish North America went with them instead.

Any help you need with parts, or even adding Mazda, Subaru and Nissan bumpers and other bits, we have guys here who can tell you most, if not all, of what you want to know.

awesome mirroreyes and thankyou

are they popular in canada then?

would this fit easily? ebay item number : 221041307850 sorry im new so i cant post links

They're rare here. We only got the Wagons and Sedans (saloons). You see them sometimes, but it's extremely rare.

happy to help mate , nice to hear that you like the forum. our members are the BEST

Congratulations on the purchase and welcome. You'll not regret a single peny!

Well, most people think you already have the best bumper! I would not change it. Just get the paint fixed up, add some good 15-16" wheels, and lower it on coilovers! And, a muffler/intake, sound system. And, some black housing head lights would look very good as well. I suppose you could do many things to the car

yeah! what chris said!

Welcome to the site, looks like you got a bargain for £425, the GXI was the top of the range hatchback of the E10 Corolla's 1.8, 118bhp, disc brakes all round, body kit and front fogs.

sounds like a plan i like the bumper i got but i done like those huge indicators in it and are the necessary? im sure if i changed headlights for some black ones that would mean i could take them out maybe? or do they at least do clear lenses fro them?

thx

yeah there are clear lense black headlights available..

like these



you can get the oem ones (bz touring ones) or you can get the cheaper copies

and as far as i know, you need the front indicators to pass MOT

i see that the car also has a rare headlight protectors on it tooo

Clear indicators are available, but hard to find.

not all cars have the bumper lights though mib so surely it would be fine without them

and where can I get those lights from they are perefect I like the angel eyes of ebay but I prefer those now i seen em

and yes mine has got the light covers but they seem to be attracting the mould and the water behind them ging a bit green are they rare? i thought they are just light protectors lol

yeah i understand where you are coming from, most have them next the headlight.
You can pm our traders on the site kiwi corolla for an oem set or pm jdm hunter for the cheaper copies
also the light protectors are something iv never seen thats why say its rare. But they must have been available only to the euro marketcas our side lights are different to the jdm or usdm ones
