ahaha yer i seen a few of those. They are random, looks like some kind of lancia delta from the back and an old celica front end with a scoop. ahah. Itd be farkd up if u put a ae86 trueno front kit on it. Looks similar to that aswell.

Not the prettiest car, but would be an interesting car to mod. Somone should mod the crap out of one of these. if i won lotto i would, for the3 difference.

I'd probably try it if it wasn't so ugly. The front looks like someone tried to make as many "space age" bolt ons as possible.

Just found out that my FXGT fell off the system 4 days after i bought it :cry: Possibly looking for new (cheap) project! :D

Yeah its a JDM and Australian market car. The actual badging is a "GP Turbo", not that many built :) I love the pop up lights :lol:

Has an 2E-T, pretty much a EP71 Turbo S

Its not mean to be a Corolla, its Toyota's entry level car for the states :roll:

Ewwwww :P

Doesn't the guy want like 3 grand for the aw10 on TM?

"Very rear 1989 Toyta MR2, great car for a collector, or a first car buyer, This car is carborated, not fuel injected, so cheep to insure, Or for the collectors, very low build numbers on these cars, most were injected, supercharged, or turbo. Car goes very well and is cheep to run. Everything on this car was in it, or on it when it came out, apart from the stereo, so very org car."

I thought that collectors generally went for top-spec models? Not bottom of the line suckers...

EDIT: Fark, the guy wants $4000 :lol: :lol:

it is an 89 but its so poverty spec.

Look at the LED rear spoiler compared to a aw11 one.

AW10s are just yuck!

No rear visor, no skirts, no mudflaps, no electrics, manual everything.
Would probably make an excellent shell because of weight.
But has smaller brakes and shit no doubt.

^ oh yea I know heaps of cars are like that just pointing out an odd toyota. seems weird they did it that way when they already had a conventional fwd gearbox etc on the corolla.

Oh right I read wrong.
AW10 falls under this WTF is this thing category.
Also saabs are the worst.
Gearbox hangs off've the front of the motor in N - S config.

My wife had one of those as her first cars.
Gearboxes in them are absolute poo. Dont change nice and are general crap. Go like they have 12hp too.

AL21 Corolla it was.

Its actually a 3E-T, pretty dam rare engine. Would probably be able to get a decent amount of power out of one of them. Shares a few similarites with the 5E, same crank etc.
