1984 Toyota Corolla GT Coupe RWD review from UK and Ireland
"Just ask IAN!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Engine Detonated Thanks to me not checking the oil level and screwing it in first gear to feel its "throttle response".
The brakes pads needed replacing after 5000 miles, but I didn't replace them so I needed new disc's as well.
The drivers seat broke, but I just put a spare tyre behind it so I didn't need to buy a new one.
The rear seats got destroyed off the tyre I used behind the drivers seat and a lot of rot appeared in the drivers side sill, but I fixed it by stuffing crisp packets into the whole and painting them the same color.
The diff started to clank and bang after me trying to to do donuts with 6 people in the car on bone dry tarmac and also because I never changed the oil!
General comments?
My Toyota corolla gt coupe 1.6 16v r.w.d t.r.d 4-age ae86 is awesome! It has a blitz induction kit and a 4-branch manifold with a full janspeed exhaust and a blitz radiator cap.
It can do 0-60mph is less than seven seconds because it ate my friends mk2 golf gti 16v off the lights and all the way up to top speed were I kept going until I limited at 145mph! its quicker than a honda integra b-16a v-tec 0-60 and an impreza wagon wrx sti could'nt pull away from my trd coupe!
The only car that could pull away was a lambo diablo on dame street in dublin and a bmw 330ci.
Otherwise shes unbeaten... Just ask ian!
