1990 Toyota Corolla AE92 SX Twin Cam hatchback review from Australia and New Zealand
"A super first car bargin"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Old engine - 4A-GE Alternator after 120,000k. Engine mount squeeking (found to be snapped)
General comments?
After doing a 4A-GZE Supercharged engine transplant the car is comfortable.
Being my first car and first project, I recommend it being worth the transplant as Corolla hatchbacks are great little sports cars for P platers. I have based my car on Dan Rucci's Rolla SX.
