how many of these are around?

[GT101]

just a bit curious on the numbers of ae101 corolla/sprinter gt sedans in nz as i havent seen many around.

seen a few gt corollas over the years but only one other gt sprinter before on trademe that just happened to be in the same small town as i live.

any people on toyspeed have one?

[Mr. Mainstream]

few down here, my older brother had a manual ae101 sprinter gt sedan

[andrewgreen1000]

Yeah seen a few Gt sprinters down here, was going to get one if i could for the right price. there one thats always parked outside uni, pitty its auto tho.

[Loudtoy]

There was two around down here, haven't seen either for a while tho, one was real mint genuine one and for some reason i had a suspicion that the other was an engine transplant with badges added, something about it didn't quite add up

[strx7]

yeah I've seen a few around in random places so there must be a fair number of them around.

[Rick]

Theres one at pick a part

[GT101]

ah sweet so there are more around

saw this on trademe a while ago , never heard of a ae101 gt-r corolla? is there such a thing?

[Leon]

that's a Corolla rather than a Sprinter. But no, there's no such thing as a Corolla GTR. Celica GTR yes.

[GT101]

anyone know if the corolla and sprinter front panels, bonnet ,lights etc are interchangeable?

[strx7]

ahhh HELLO, do a search

pretty much the WHOLE car is different enough that you cant interchange things without having something not fit properly along the lines. (panel wise) from memory the rear bumper is the same, and that is it.


Corolla doors fit under the roof & A Pillar.
Sprinter Doors fit onto the Roof and A Pillar

If you bolt a corolla onto a sprinter/corolla liftback, you will have a wider than normal gap from about half way to the bottom, and as it gets higher up, the gap gets less and less until you need to cut part of the guard off to clear the door, then you'll be left with a small triangular piece at the top where you have nothing at all.

lights, corner lights, bumpers, bonnets etc cann all be BOLTED into the other vehicle but you need to swap the corrosponding parts. On a sprinter, you COULD put corolla headlights, grill and bonnet and leave on the sprinter corner lights and guards and you shouldn't have any fitment issues.

sweet thats all i needed to know.

sorry should have mentioned i had done a search already but came up with nothing both on google and toyspeed.

[soopachargen]

i have a white ae101 gt corolla sedan, there is a blue one up here as well, and a couple of sprinters

[Mr. Mainstream]

whats the deal with that "gt-r" corolla? with the toms plate etc

[fuel]

must have been done while still in Japan as it seems to have been registered as a GT-R.

[Mr Revhead]

Its (probably) a GT with some aftermarket bits stuck on it.
The Toms Levin-015 badge is most likely taken from another car and stuck on maybe with the entire engine.
Those GT-R decals look awful!

[GT101]

i want the tom's carbon fibre plenum chamber, if i lived close i would have hit the dealer up for a swap with a standard silvertop item plus a little cash.

[Quirky]

Car dealers only swap cars, not parts.

Not sure what the carbon fibre does, because the original unit uses plastic, which would probably be lighter than the carbon fibre anyways.
Although its always mint to have carbon fibre around in the car.

That used to be a Dunedin car, from memory all that we could find that was diffrent was the plate and the intake.

surprised what a cash offer can get you, not like it makes the car worth any more to them.

saying that it sold for 3500 and had done over 200kms
