Hello from your rival, a corolla driver.

[Rolla_Kid]

Hey ozhonda!

Thought id join up here, hopefully try and steal some tricks and get some tips off of you Honda boys (and girls)... particularly the civic drivers.

I drive an AE82 Corolla Twin Cam with a 4AGE which is being neatened up at the moment so it can become my daily drive aswell as see the track a few times a year.

So Im obviously looking forward to being the odd one out :p

[Chriskoss]

yeh nah no corolla is a fit enough rival for a honda ahhaha no offence
jkss but. welcome

[MikeyG]

no your right its not a rival... not sure why would put Toyota and Honda together, please take your POS out of this site

[vtecing]

Welcome. I also had an ae92 sx (4age small port) just to give you an idea, it drives almost identical to the eg5 (ive had both varients, sohc vtec and twin cam non vtec) they both make the same power as small port 4age.

[EG52NV]

I reckon the D16Y1 uses less petrol.. Plus its a newer engine.

[DNY*BOY]

+1 for the SX'z great little cars i really liked the ae92s and obviously the hatchiroku ae86!!! Very similar drving experience also to the ol EG. welcome mate =) bring the diversity on i say should make for some interesting convo's!!! And to the arrogant comment made by the OH member calm down get a life mate.

[Rolla_Kid]

Thanks everyone...

well almost everyone...

Please take your POS out of this site

I like this place already!! :P


4AGE's hold their own, Ill leave it at that to save me from more flaming hahaha

[impossi13le]

hey mate, post up some pics of your car, im sure a lot of us would like to see :D
i particularly love the sound of the 4age at high revs when mated with ITBs...sound just like a vtec :P

[trism]

Im a fan. Had an sx with a 20v black top.

Factory ITB ftw

[Troy]

AE86 Drift Pigs for the win!!! Such a classic car shape.

[Rolla_Kid]

Been a while since ive looked through this site.

Sounds like Vtec??! Nevarr!! :P LOL

The 20V Blacktop has that vtec kick in sound, they have vvti which is a similar concept. But alas, my Bigport 4AGE just sounds like ol skool cool high revving race car :P

Man, I'd love to have some ITB's but... someday...

Anyway, pics of said car below...

How it looked when the previous owner bought it (dont have a photo of when i did. looked the same though)

Car still needs alot of work to get it to be how i want it to, but that all takes time.

Bit of a POS... I know, but i love it :P lol

[EKVTIR-T]

Welcome mate.

Ex ae92sx silvertop 20v owner here too

They sound sweet but pound for pound cant match vtecs imo
The 20v are a nicer looking motor though

[jeremydawg]

I love the rollas! used to have a ke70, loved it. i wanna get another one down the track

[Rolla_Kid]

The corollas definitely are fun, whether FWD or RWD :)



Btw, pics of said rivalry :P

AE82, AE86 and the Civic went all out in the 85 season, with the civic just edging out in the last race to win by a handful of points.

Thanks guys!

[EKVTIR-T]

Oh nice find!

[jeremydawg]

thats what im talkin bout!!

[vtecing]

that mugen civic is a freak car though. In its day it would demolish all others in its class and keep up with most in the 6cyl class

[marquee]

I've got that nuts civic in gt5 it's amazing

[Rolla_Kid]

Agreed.

Mugen just continued developing it and making it quicker and quicker and in 1987 nothing could touch it!

I believe it had roughly 165KW from the ZC motor where as the 4AGE only had about 140KW

[vtecing]

honda also used slightly more sophisticated wishbone suspension.

[Adjacent]

AE92 SX was my first car, and I still think its a better drive than my EP3R.

[son of eevil]

Cleary you missed to Initital D ep where the AE86 destroyed the EG9.

ha ha, welcome!

would have been a different story if ayrton senna was behind the wheel of the honda.

with his foot gumtaped to the steering wheel.

[RPS.13]

Welcome mate!!!

I too am an ex AE82 twincam hatchback owner. The 4AGE big port burst into flames one night, upgraded it to the 100kw small port. I beat many 6cyl cars in it.
Even beat a AE92 blacktop 20v and also beat a AE86 4AGZE. Was even with a few vtec civics out there, but I don't recall ever beating one!

Haha, if you can't beat em. Join em!
