Meet the JDM Corolla FX-GT - Quick intro & pure sound

[@alistermccallum]

Those AE82s are rarer than rare in Japan now from what I've been told. You could probably count good condition cars on your fingers and toes. Pretty sure 90% of them ended up in New Zealand in the 1990s and early 2000s.

[@imachamp68]

5 years ago these were $2000-$3000 in NZ. Now they’re worth $15000

[@renz1013]

I knew that syndrome isnt just affecting the 5th gen gt alone but the rest of the corollas that came before it

@@imachamp68 I bought my first one in Thames for $2000 in 2001

[@toast-w1d]

@@imachamp68 can still pick up the odd one for under 5k. 92s and 101s still going fairly cheap but 82s always listed pretty high these days.

[@schizofennec]

yea we have probably a few tens of them in NZ, most people abused them tho so they're scrap, can get a project for under 5k deregistered, or a road legal rough shape one for over 10k

[@blackroseruby]

NO WAY! what a gem you’ve gotten your hands on, I’d argue these are rarer than the RWD Sprinters and Corollas from the same era. A great stalemate for the GT-S.

[@rickjames3034]

I love how you can hear the T-VIS whistle up to 4500 rpm.. Love this car I had one as a teenager..

[@wannabecarguy]

No way you could convince me that you hear or feel the tvis. I've tried with it fully functional and deleted. I don't think it does anything.

[@rickjames3034]

@@wannabecarguy 3:05 you can hear the tvis whistle up until 4000 rpm when the butterflies open and the engine note changes.. you wouldnt feel it on the but dyno but you would see some effect on a dyno chart..

Ive been waiting for your new videos! Glad to have you back! More videos please.. Specially your 20v

Thank you! The 20v is getting some maintenance love but will be ripping soon enough.

All i heard was Takumi's AE86 with 4AGEU 😁

[@toast-w1d]

Love these videos man, and love those AE82s. Being from NZ, the parts you've added from MRP to your 20v have been an especially helpful guide for planning my AE101 FX-GT upgrades.

[@ngametuawilliam5152]

Damn where has the fx been it's been a while good to see it back.

[@sushpants]

Everything was on pause for a beat. The FX was moving to a new home.

[@DanhPhan]

love how simple the 16v 4age sounds. really enjoyed the driving pov and audio!

[@gabe_gl7958]

Nice to meet you and the car last weekend! Cool car and it was fun driving together

[@carlcoolamon7146]

I own a trailer load of discarded 4AGE parts with the hope of putting an engine together one day. Meanwhile you now have a second car! Thanks for the inspiration Mr Pants, even if the envy is burning me right now.

[@ToreDL87]

Guilty as charged here too, had to get the stuff before people blew up so many of them that it got too expensive for hobby-use.

[@jae_879]

It was nice meeting you and talking to you at the 8/6 meet man! And thanks for the sticker! Also glad you get to see my FX16!

[@patpatpat3]

I thought this was your first vid. on your ae82 with 16v still on it but man when I read the description.. Congrats on your second one and we missed your vids. man. Glad to see you back PS. that speed chime at the end tho

[@minkodima]

On RHD car in LHD country it's kinda hard to overtake in traffic, coz you don't see upcoming cars, but in city environment it's amazing)) when you park somewhere you step of the car like a boss straight to sidewalk)

[@essb00]

Being RHD, it is almost like being a mirror image of your first FX! Great find. :)

[@catfish_lude]

good to see you back

[@schizofennec]

God.. even stock the 4AGE sounds so heavenly

[@always_trust_all_scientists]

I go first saw these many years ago when I'd visit family in Jamaica. Theyre so cool.

[@thebutleryxt9259]

I have the AE82 still, I did an engine swap about a month ago. I have the car for about 5 years now.

[@dooglemaples1914]

I suppose they’re cousins to my Australian 4 door ae82 twin cam with the same 4age set up

[@619roca]

Beautiful timepiece

[@touavlogs]

very cool man. can't wait to drive AE92 out to the next meet as well

[@sushpants]

We’ll have to park them them together :)

[@Randymountaine]

Hey, I'm from New Zealand, I own a 1997 Toyota Trueno BZ-R (Don't think you got those in the US). Just wanted to say you provide amazing content which has helped me with my own engine and I appreciate how much you care about the older Toyota JDM cars, That 4AGE sound is totally unique. I Look forward to your future content!

[@Rtryanp]

Starting to really love this little corolla, i just found your channel, i been watching your videos from 3 years ago, i have so much love for these cars, i bought my first new car last year a corolla apex 6 speed, 1 of 120 made, it currently has 800 miles but im hoping 30 years from now it will be as cool as this

[@saltysweatyhands]

Beautiful and pure sound I love it

[@anthonywendt5834]

Wow good for you man! That soo rad dude. Car looks sick

[@technocurry]

Love these nuggets. Really wanting a 100 series fx gt rn.

[@themademan1867]

I own a basic 1988 Toyota Corolla FX I’d absolutely love to swap the engine for a 4age engine one day. I’ve owned the car for about 6 years now and it’s been such a reliable little car! It still turns heads as slow as it is being carbureted lol

[@jonpippen6998]

I also have an 88 base fx and its my favorite car ive ever owned. Picked it up for 500 bucks all original condition. Now its got a supercharged 2.0L out of an 07 cobalt ss (still a wip).

[@wannabecarguy]

I own 2 fx-16s . Silvertop 20v powered. They get no love anymore once I got hooked on the 2jz.

[@turborocketmedia]

Great work and thanks for the insane sound!!!

finally new vid!

[@ryuzaki7.62]

Looking great man!

[@sekanderkhan5159]

Love toyota corolla Fx

[@alex_k1410]

What fine addition to the collection, congratulations! It is just me or does the FX-GT have a higher factory redline than the FX-16? That little speed chime during bonus audio segment is really neat. 😁👍🏼

[@ToreDL87]

@@doctorunicorn5550 You never hear him rev it to the limit here, but if it's a stock car I guarantee it'll end at 7500rpm regardless what the revgauge says. There were closer to 7-8 variants and that's just the N/A's, if we count the various types of superchargers fitted to all combinations of 16v engine blocks and heads we're at closer to 12-13. 20v Silvertop was the first 20 valve to come out, in 1991, that's 4 years after AE82 production ended. They kept the higher rev-gauges for people modifying their cars for motorsport, basically a gesture by Toyota "here you go, no need to install a revgauge". Motorsport was a key aspect of what the 16v rolla's were about (RWD and FWD). Production of the AE82 ended before a higher reving (supported by Toyota dealerships) stock 4A-GE's could be supplied to road-going factory stock AE82's, but factory engines were certainly modified into screamers for race use, and they probably foresaw enthusiasts swapping in newer engines with time as well, thus, the higher rev-gauges ^^

The JDM spec is really close th the EURO spec, i hope this or next year i can finally work on my grandfather's 82 GT too. She really need some attention after 10 years on a garage 😕 Really happy to see another one to your "collection" 🤩1:27 It's strange, i just notice Euro spec AE82 GT twin cam had the brace from the firewall to the suspension like your US 82 but not the JDM.

[@kennethredondocordero3484]

If you notice at @1:26 this car has the holes on the firewall for that brace so it came with it, it's just that someone swapped it for an aftermarket one

Hey man love the car. I have an ae111 blacktop with a missing plenum cover which I don't mind. I'm gonna install a cold air feed because it can become heat soaked in that area and I see you have an air feed too, where did you route it at the front is it just behind your headlight? Thanks

Buy one if you can! Even the SOHC versions are fun little cars for a fraction of the twincam price.

[@oscarzt1652]

doesnt have the trumpety roar that your FX16 does but doesnt sound bad.

[@MrJapes22]

I had one! But here in SA it was called a corolla conquest RSI. Sold it for peanuts what a mistake.

[@monk3yboy69]

Big big mistake. Loved these and the next model I’m guessing a decent example will set you back a bit in SA if you can find one. I remember them well.

[@tomacatipovic7854]

How does an ae92 compare to these ae82 models? Both hatchbacks. Im looking into buying an ae92 gts and i cant find any information about handling.

[@AsgerLysebjerg]

I have owned a owned 4 Corolla E90's - 2 EE90 1,3 12v (carburettor) hatchback, a CE90 1.8 diesel (non-turbo) station wagon and lastly a AE92 1.6 4A-FE 105 hp. (named GSi in Denmark) In my opinion they are just as glued to the road surface as the AE82 is. Great fun in the corners on a twisting small road.

[@geraldperez7754]

What happened to the FX16 though?

[@sushpants]

The FX16 is still with me. It’s getting a cooling system upgrade.

[@SpacedOdyssey]

Just curious as why you need two,

[@Wakendorf91]

the engine cover looks to be a bit yellowed XD

[@LuckyLukeNZ]

Looks like it's had its engine swapped out for a bigport redtop out of an ae92.

Oh, and it's absolutly the same Car then the AE82 GT in Germany. Only weh have LHD and Bluetop without mass sensor.

[@AsgerLysebjerg]

same in Denmark, and now they are extremely hard to get, because they're all rusted away

[@ToreDL87]

In the list of most regrettable things done to JDM cars by alleged "enthusiasts" is 280Z's and 280ZX's getting stripped for their L28's. ...And the AE82-92-101-111's getting stripped for their 4A-GE's.
