Hi, I just had a closer look at the VIN Plate (is that what it is) that shows the model of the car, engine code and frame number etc..

mine goes from what i remember

Model No. AE92-AMEC or something then 1442
Engine no. 2E-something

Frame no. EE90-something.
THAMES ASSEMBLY PLANT

The fact that they got the engine model wrong is a bit annoying. It is a 4af, as stated on the front of the engine, just below the rocker cover.

Now, i am curious because I would thought the frame number was AE92 also.

Oh yeh, just to make things maybe a lil, clearer. On the back of the car it is
Toyota Corolla 1.6XL.

So, what is a 2E engine? 1300?

Also picture of my car is in my profile if you would to see.

go have another look and note things down EXACTLY as they are

WTF you said it was made in thames too and that is a jappa badge... somethings weird here.

by **z|gen** » Wed Aug 17, 2005 12:03 am

thats really weird..

as that pic clearly shows ae92 then 2e then ee90

what does the code say thats engraved on the firewall?

by **Mr Revhead** » Wed Aug 17, 2005 12:04 am

looks like a punching cock up to me.
it happens.

the cars are still made in japan, just assembled here (were) so they still have the jap plate, with the nz assembly plant.
some hiluxs were built in chch

by **Alex B** » Wed Aug 17, 2005 12:05 am

Shouldnt he be failing warrents then?

by **EssDub** » Wed Aug 17, 2005 12:37 am

Probably. Looks like whoever has been doing the warrants hasn't noticed that the factory engine is the wrong one! lol

what number is on the block of the engine (ie 4A-something) it would be funny if it matched the number on the plate (apart from 4A bit)...

by **NA Drifter** » Wed Aug 17, 2005 1:17 am

acording to the AE92 chassic number, car built in 1991 Dec or 1992 Jan.
There is nothing on EE90 model. Someone must be drinking/drunk when they stamp the plate!

haha yeh very weird, as the Firewall number, after AE92 is the same as on the lil plate. apart from the EE90 thing.

OMG so shiny! · by **Dell'Orto** » Wed Aug 17, 2005 2:05 pm

Maybe someone cooked the 2E, and transplanted a 4AF?
Odd that the chassis is an AE92 though

So technically you could whack a 4AGE in there and not need a cert.

by **RedMist** » Wed Aug 17, 2005 2:17 pm

The 2E isn't 1587cc as printed on the same plate. So I doubt it's an engine transplant. Looks like the bigest stamping error to date!

by **Mr Revhead** » Wed Aug 17, 2005 2:18 pm

the model number relates to a 4af. the "u" is the engine code "u" = 4af "f" = 4age.

id say its just a wee cock up, all the other numbers etc relate to a 4 door sedan, 4af etc etc

My beast! · by **MrBeef** » Wed Aug 17, 2005 4:31 pm

nah its an original engine, just a cock up by the nippons. All is cool - just a little curious heh. So in future dates, instead of reading the frame no. i will read the number off the firewall yeh?

by **Mr Revhead** » Wed Aug 17, 2005 4:35 pm

nah when looking up parts, all you need is the full model number and the numbers off the frame
