First project car question (AE92 with AE86 parts)
Posted: Mon Feb 17, 2014 4:33 am
I'm getting my hands on an 1989 corolla GTS for free, working condition and decent condition not counting paint, bone stock.
I'm wanting to teach myself a skill, so I've decided to use this as a project car. I'm tired of daily driving an automatic solara, and I'd like to enjoy something with my work and time invested too, plus manual transmission c:.
I've been spending the last week reading alot of the old threads about ae92 tuning, so I kind of have an idea of where I should be going in with it, after I do a clean up of all bushings and battery check/airfilter/basic stuff.
My real and only question right now;
from what I can gather on the internet, there's a far larger ae86 community, and thus far more parts.
However, Aren't the pre-91 corolla gts's the same engine as the ae86?
If so, would I be able to use ae86 parts in an AE92 engine?
