AE86 For Sale?
 
I'm not entirely keen on these things. But this seems like a pretty cool ride for the price no?

It says 1985 corolla. Would that make it an 85 or an 86?

"86 noob" sounds like an appropriate title for you right now.

From Wikipedia:
Quote:

Toyota code, the "A" represents the engine that came in the car (4A series), "E" represents the Corolla, "8" represents the fifth generation (E80 series) and "6" represents the variation within this generation.
So 86 is just part of the identifier for the car. Much like you'll hear FD3S, or EG. There is indeed an "'85 86".

It's an AE88 according to the VIN...

AE86 doesn't refer to the year it was manufactured, it refers to the generation of the E chassis (which is corolla). In Japan its called the AE8-6, or AE hachi-roku. The cars just happened to be manufactured during the same years that appear on the chassis code.


As for the Vin #, thats the U.S. VIN, and it has basically nothing to do with where the term AE86 comes from. It never refered to the car's VIN; that refers to the cars chassis code which is stamped on the firewall, much like any other Japanese car (MA70, JZA80, SW20, etc.).

In the U.S., a JT2AE88 VIN just shows that the car came as a GT-S trim, which is the one you'd really want to get (4A-GE, possible factory LSD, 4-wheel disc). The lower trim model SR-5 came with the VIN JT2AE86.

That's actually pretty clean for an 86 interior. Now go put your panties on for your girls night out.

This looks like it's in better shape than most ae86s. Still, unless you're gutting or willing to spend some time on the interior, I'd pass.
