Vehicle Detail
1987 Corolla FX16 - 10.4:1 compression ratio - 40mpg This car is 95%. It really just has minor scratches and needs to be vacuumed out and washed well. There is no rust and the car is solid. The interior is in very good shape. This chassis has about 227,000miles on it. The engine has 30,000miles on it with a fresh rebuild. The head was milled 0.035" and the block was milled 0.005" for a total of 0.040" which brings the dynamic compression ratio to around 10.4:1. I was working as an engineer at Honda even though I am a Toyota guy at heart. While I was working there I wanted to build a fuel efficient version of the 4AGE. The car has adjustable cam gears and has been tuned to give great drivability and good fuel economy. Driving medium I get around 34mpg everytime. Driving hard, the lowest I have gotten is 30mpg. Driving conservatively I have gotten 41mpg. It has custom built coilovers made by the same company that manufacturers Selex suspension. Very high quality. I paid almost $1600 just for the suspension. The springs are 8/6 kg which is what TRD specifies. This car handles like a race car. Very incredible. The dampening is two way adjustable. The height is adjustable from what is in the pictures about 3inches up or down. I wanted to slam the car a bit more than it is in the pictures, but have not had time to work on it. Camber plates front and rear with a fresh computer alignment done just last week. The clutch is fresh upon install of engine 30,000miles ago. O2 sensor is new, distributor o-ring needs to be replaced. Transmission is in great health. Shifts well. Drives very well. Fresh Redline gear lube. The grill that is on the car is not the original. I have the original which is not broken. Winning bidder will get it. I have just been saving it to make sure it stays in good shape. The car has a CD player installed, but I also have the stock radio for it. Winner can have both. I have driven this car back and forth between Alabama, South Carolina, Georgia, and Massachusetts several times since the rebuild. It drives phenomenal. I got this car from Washington state and have taken very good care of it since it has entered my possession. I also have an extra hatch, complete driver's side and passenger side doors, basically a complete extra 4AGE longblock that was run with low oil and needs a rebuild. I also have tons of parts like intake and exhaust manifold, AFM, extra front stock front seats in pretty good shape, timing covers, cam gears, etc. Winner can have any/all of this stuff they want at time of pick of car. I don't remember exactly what I have, but there is a lot. It must be taken at time of pick up of car. I also have the original shocks for this car in good shape and the car can be converted 100% back to stock anytime. This is a great car. I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere. This car is being sold as is. No warranty. Please ask questions before bidding. Bidders with zero feedback must contact me prior to bidding or their bids will be cancelled. $500 deposit is due at the time of the end of the auction via PayPal. I will be happy to get $3400 for this car, but I think it is worth $4000. No reserve. Happy bidding. Full payment is due within 7 days of end of auction unless prior arrangements are made with me prior to the end of the auction.

Need more interior pictures. Does it overheat? Is the title okay for transfer ? Hear from you soon. have a great day ! Renato - 7---g Dear 7---g, Hi. Thank you for your question. Attached are more pictures of the interior. There are no surprises. The interior is in good shape. The car does not overheat at all. I have been driving it for about year with no problems. The coolant system is in good health with fresh coolant in it. The title is clean and clear in my name. Any other questions, please let me know. I drove this car 6 hours from school today back to MA and felt very sad along the way.. knowing I am letting go of it. These cars are really amazing machines which is why I think so many people go crazy over them. Thank you. Good luck. - phazzoo----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
