I went looking for a site I saw years ago with an ae101 fxgt to wrc replica, I couldn't find it, but I did find this.

looks like a pretty good fit for the front panels from the european version of the ae112 series corolla that the Corolla WRC was based on.

Others thoughts?

I emailed this link to my workmate.

Work email spellcheck now has "WTF" added to the dictionary.

is it an ep82? it doesnt look right in the back, or is it a tercel or something silly with an ep82 engine?

did they actually do a run of the corollas of that design as coupes?

Looks very much like Starlet rear hatch and glass. Just not lights.

I'd put money on that being grafter together. The engine bay is very EP82 except for the headlight supports which look like they have been changed.

Yep EP82. Tail lights are standard. They just have a clip on bit on the top to make them look like Corolla lights.

Ive never seen that model Corolla?
Is this a European spec 'rolla'?

Yes, it is. We never had the 3 door hatchback here, nor in Japan. Euro only.

A workmate of mine is from the UK and worked for quite a few years there for Toyota, they were released as the G6 and G6R if im not mistaken.

G6R just had the flash interior and it may have been a 6-speed, pretty sure he said they were all released with 4AFE's

Yeah all 4afe.

There is a 5 door G6R that was floating around Dunedin until recently.

I don't understand why no 3 doors weren't imported into NZ by TNZ or others. 3 doors seemed to be reasonably popular at the time

that 5 door is a GR i think.
the G6 is a 1.3 6 speed and G6R 1.6.
would have got one of those G6R already if not for the damn emissions laws. eyeing now for the zze112, research shows its euro3!

As far as I am aware this was not a decision made at local level.

We looked at importing some from UK purely to produce some rally car mock ups similar to those in the pictures as we had the TTE agency here. But they were like rocking horse poo and very expensive at the time.
