"But it's a dry heat". Nowadays with crash testing and what not, having AC, power windows and what not could push the vehicle in a different weight category resulting in needing separate gov. tests. I think here in the US the now 31 year old Porsche RS America came with things standard on it the rest of the world did not. Making for a slightly heavier car. I remember reading that was the reason. The vast majority of the 911s in the US had the stuff, and leaving it out would be an issue for the gov. testing.
My mom didn’t have a car with AC until two years ago. At least as recently as 7 years ago you could buy new cars without it. But then I live in Sweden where heating is more important and stuff like heated seats has been common for decades. I still wouldn’t want to be without AC in the summer. I’ve made sure my cars have had it.
Awesome video mate. Old cars like this really highlight how far vehicle tech has come, but at the expense of repairability. Can you imagine only having to remove like 3 bolts for a valve cover gasket in 2024? Or change a headlight in 2 minutes? People like you that are saving these old survivors and showing how easy they could be repaired are doing a favor for all of us!
the 90s corolla is such a well designed car it would fit right in with that era Japan. cruising in it with the windows down and letting the air hit your face is truly amazing
I love the way cars from the early 90s look, probably my favourite era of cars in terms of appearance. You should hang on to that Toyota, she is a keeper!
@@CommodoreFan64 One car payment or so. Then "Free" until the next issue. It kind of depends how much you need to trust it when you need it. Reliability is key.
@@dlewis9760 That is true, but in the case of this one, 90's Toyotas were overall fairly reliable, & still can be if regular maintenance was done on them, & there's no major rust/damage. My neighbor's granddaughter has a 99 Corolla 4 door automatic , and it's got over 600K miles on it with almost no issues that's her daily, and I know the history of the car because my late aunt sold it too them a few years before she died, and had bought it new, so with regular maintenance, care, and replacement of wear parts as needed, 90's Toyotas can indeed last a very long time.
@@mattyb33ts Car prices in the US are not as high as Canada. I think it's because of the higher population and few other factors. You see videos like Scotty Kilmer where people are getting cars for cheap that he reviews / fixes. But in Canada everyone is overpaying right now it's ridiculous
Same in Europe. Toyotas are overpriced in general, and it's crazy how little you get for your money, especially with these older Corollas. It can be the most base model, no options, high mileage rust bucket you've ever seen and they still be selling it for like 1500€
@@ajaloy4010 yeahhh dude I mean I live here and I frequently see older cars like these selling for crazy prices. For instance, I saw a 99 Oldsmobile sell for $7k, as a 'modern classic'. Lol it had 101k miles on it too. Not denying Canada has an issue, but we are all in this boat together
Thanks for helping these cars stay on the road. I got a Camry for free that was going to the junkyard. It needed a lot of work cosmetically and some work mechanically so I've used to learn how to work on cars. I fixed it up on the cheap and I've been driving it for over a year. It doesn't look the best and is by no means fast, but it's reliable and good on gas. I love it!
GOOD for You. Over a lifetime, can you imagine just how much money people could save compared to purchasing a new unit every couple of years. It could make the difference between having a million dollars in the bank compared to living hand-to-mouth. Greetings from Ontario, Canada.
i bought an 89 LE in April for $900, 186k miles carbeurated and it is still running and driving great with a new battery, alternator, and timing belt. i lived in it for a month when i got it though because i was homeless. i love this car and just today replaced all the speakers. edit: should mention no AC so im glad it was cold when i lived in it
My 1990 Corolla has only needed a Starter, Alternator and Muffler in 35 years of Service as of last month . It was $8300 New and still looks and drives Like New too.
If you'd like more power out of the 4AFE engine advance the ignition timing from factory 10 degrees before top dead centre to 16 degrees before top dead centre. This doesn't harm the engine at all. Toyota actually retarded the timing. It's stated in one of their Australian press releases back when these cars were first released.. Begin by highlighting the timing mark on on the crank pulley with a yellow or white paint marking pen. (old oil & dirt may need to be cleaned from the adjacent timing degree marks on the plastic timing belt cover.) Get the engine up to temp (when the radiator fan comes on) then switch the engine off and bridge terminals E1 & Te1 in the diagnostic port, using a paper clip. Hook up a timing light to the battery and ignition lead number one. (cylinder closest to timing belt) Loosen the two distributor bolts just enough so the distributor can be rotated. (Avoid rotating far from it's original position) Make sure all the timing light wires are clear of any hot or moving parts. Start the engine again and point the timing light at the timing marks on the timing belt cover. (located just above crank pulley) All being well, the factory setting should show the timing mark on the crank pulley aligned with number ten on the timing belt cover. Carefully rotate the distributor until the timing mark on the crankshaft pulley is just past the 15 degree mark. Tighten the distributor bolts, being careful not to rotate the distributor while tightening. Check with the timing light, that the crank pulley is still in the desired position. Turn the engine OFF, remove the timing light and the paper clip from the terminals in the diagnostic port. Go for a drive and enjoy more power. Lots of first generation 4AFE owners have done this modification.
That's such a sick Corolla. I almost got a Geo Prizm GSI just like it when I was car shopping 8 years ago, alas, the seller never replied to me so I didn't get the chance. 600 bucks is way cheaper than what I was about to pay, too!
It's absolutely wild what a decent condition old nugget can go for these days. I saw a Geo Metro on a truck with other vehicles destined for a dealer or auction the other day. Given the condition of the Geo, I don't feel confident enough to say it was going to an auction instead of a dealer lot!
One of the best cheap everyday cars you can still find today. The AE92 corolla is a gem with its toyota reliability and looks. The SX seca is the best you can get as well.
I’ve got a 1986 AE82 corolla seca with the twin cam sports motor, I love the seca body with the large rear window and lift back, great cars and good job restoring it!
back in the 90s i passed my drivers license test in the geo prizm GSi version of this corolla . it was a reliable and really simple vehicle to drive , even at -40f temperatures it kept on going
If you want to protect the interior plastic on these cars (notorious for cracking and deteriorating A very affordable option is sunscreen - Not even joking saw it on a car show once where they were comparing household products with expensive autocare products. The sunscreen actually performed better. Blocks UV rays and restores oils that off-gas out of the plastics.
Just a couple tips for the trim: use an eraser wheel on a drill, it’ll come right off. Be gentle, as it will eat into the paint with too much pressure. 3M also makes a double sided tape meant for trim that’ll never come off. Had to do this on my 04 Corolla. Cheers mate, beautiful car!
There's something about these 90s Toyota's that I just love. From the more angular designs in the early 90s, to the much more rounded and fluent designs of the late 90s, they all have this warm charm to them that really makes you feel like they're an old friend of yours (I say knowing I've never owned one, let alone been in one)
This was a great video. I owned a red one of these for nearly 7 years. They were marketed in the Uk as a Corolla mines was the 1.3 GL. Probably one of the best cars I ever owned. Did need to do a lot to it over the time I had it because it was a Toyota. But when you did need parts they weren’t cheap. Fortunately didn’t need to many parts. Probably the best car I ever owned.
I have had my four door 1992 Toyota Corolla for 32 years. It is ridiculously reliable. My auto mechanic tells me it may last the rest of my life. Since I live next to the ocean and park it outside, the one problem is that the top of the Corolla rusts out. The rest of the car doesn't have a rust issue. I just had the top of the Corolla rebuilt so it won't rust out again. I also had it repainted its beautiful ice blue color. It cost me $8,000.00, but I love this car and it's worth it. Not only does it have air conditioning and is an automatic, it has features no modern car can give you. First, it can't be stopped or controlled by someone taking over its computer system from outside (as many modern cars can). The car also has no GPS.
Just having a reliable daily for running errands is nice to have especially at that price. Enjoy the car content as much as the computer stuff. Keep it coming!
Invest in a caramel wheel man, they come in clutch for when you need to remove old adhesive/sticker residue etc. its basically a round wheel that’s your attack not a drill to remove the glue/adhesive.
I also have a particular affinity for this shape. I was only a teenager back then. Dad bought a CSi Limited model from 1994 - the last of this shape before it was replaced. I really liked the styling back then, and you're right, it has aged gracefully.
the bluetooth combo thingy is pretty cool for cars with old radios, I got one too, it's a FM Transmitter, you connect your phone to it via bluetooth and then it transmits your audio via FM frequencies, for example you tune it to 105.00 station (it has to be unused) and you tune your radio to that ''station'' too, it'll work better than a tape to 3'5mm jack and has ok audio quality
Everyone has that "first car", I had one like this, an AE92 seca. It just ran, no matter what. It's a good find! And glad to see someone take care of it! It'll probably take care of you too.
I had one of these as my sorta first car (boyfriend got for me not long after we met). It was a manual though and I believe '94 model, with some modifications like cheap coilovers, a nice front bar and sporty wheels. It was $1000 absolute steal, had a new starter motor and much lower Ks around 200K. This was 2017/18, I only had the car about 8 months because it kept having alternator/battery drain issues and some other things I forget so it got sold off to a wrecker. I wish we had kept it, was so much fun to drive. I miss my little Rolly :(

Hey man, just wanted to let you know that you’ve been inspiring me to work on tech and repurpose my old tech products and old gaming laptops, obviously with a healthy dose of eucalyptus oil! Even cleaned out my car and replaced a few parts too!
We had a toyota corolla but ours was specifically the left-handed AE92 and seeing the interior of the car here 0:33 made me miss ours so much. It was a family car and my brother gave it many modifications throughout the years. Had many memories being driven around by my parents here while listening to some 80's new wave playlists they had. At one point my brother totaled the car and he miraculously survived it. Even my parents thing the car took the brunt of the destruction to save my brother, and even inspecting inside it, even my brother himself is left scratching his head how he survived the way it was totaled.
Really enjoyable video Nathan. :-) I love seeing old cars get cared for. Recently got rid of my 2013 Holden cruze (diesel) for $700AU to a wrecker. Had 277,000km and a few issues made me decide it was time…. though I do wish I had the space to keep it as a project like this.
My grandparents had a Toyota Seca of a similar vintage. I drove it for a while when my grandma passed away and when we moved back to the states my mum gave it to a childhood friend and it is still driving around Sydney somewhere.
I always loved repairing the alternator on these as you can easily replace the diode block complete with new brushes. 2 screws plus - clip and you’re done with 5 minutes.
I had the hatchback version... we rebuilt the motor at 300000kms, after the job we all agreed, all it needed were the new oil rings, and maybe valve seals the original honig marks were still visible and the crankshaft bearing were still in great shape. Toyotas of this age were so well designed.
It shows that the previous owners took care of this car, the fact you got it with the owners manual and the original sale papers means that it definitely meant a lot to whoever owned it before.
Your car brings up memories of my 1990 Corolla that I bought slightly used in 1990. I piled 155,000 miles on it, only having to replace a thermostat and the battery and routine tire maintenance. It was a candy apple red metallic, very classy for an economy car.
That's awesome you got a decent little car to fix up for so cheap! I recently had purchased a car here in the US, only paid $1,600 USD for it, perfectly running and in pretty decent shape, the paint is chipping in some spots. Generally you'll spend that much on a car that is completely destroyed honestly around my area that I live in, so this was an awesome deal. It just hit its 355,000 miles mark and she getting around wonderfully. A purchase I am happy about!
Cool video! I always buy older cars, and it's always fun reconditioning them. And it's always interesting seeing how somebody else does this; I never know what new ideas I'll pick up.
Late 90s Corollas were extremely nostalgic for me, the european/australian models looked really cool, and their look has aged quite well, and I can confirm that they have the usual Toyota reliability, most people here use them nonstop and they still work perfectly.
What a beauty! I still miss mine. Bought it with 140.000 Km on the meter, and drove it another 290.000 KM before it simply rustet away under me, still going strong with only maintenance and minor repairs along the way. The best car i ever had!

Agreed. If my car doesn't have an air conditioner, it may as well not have seats, wheels or an engine.
It was 1992. It was the style at the time, much like wearing an onion on one's belt.

Where my geeky nerds/car guys at?!?
We had a toyota corolla but ours was specifically the left-handed AE92 and seeing the interior of the car here 0:33 made me miss ours so much. It was a family car and my brother gave it many modifications throughout the years. Had many memories being driven around by my parents here while listening to some 80's new wave playlists they had. At one point my brother totaled the car and he miraculously survived it. Even my parents thing the car took the brunt of the destruction to save my brother, and even inspecting inside it, even my brother himself is left scratching his head how he survived the way it was totaled.
personally i'm just happy to see you make videos again :D
i love your content, no matter is it's car or computer related !
18:18 is that E46 your next project 👀
Liking this before even watching the video because that Corolla is badass! I love little 80s and 90s throwaway cars being kept on the road.
The Corolla has been around for 57 years. In 2017, Toyota celerbrated the 50th anniversary of the Corolla in the United States
Absolute bargain! Just some simple maintenance and repairs and she's good for another few years yet! Great work Mate!
Congratulations.. regards from Athens Greece...😊( Toyota 1600 carina mod.1995)
Love this automotive content mate! Keep churning them out.
Really enjoyable video Nathan. :-)
I love seeing old cars get cared for.
Recently got rid of my 2013 Holden cruze (diesel) for $700AU to a wrecker.
Had 277,000km and a few issues made me decide it was time…. though I do wish I had the space to keep it as a project like this.
1000 SUBSCRIBERS LEFT TO 300K!!!!!! OMG, 300 THOUSAND?! I REMEMBER WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS SINCE 2018 AND YOU HAVE COME SO FAR!
This video gives me hope as a carolla guy. I have a XR matrix now. I can't wait to get an old 90s carolla
My grandparents had a Toyota Seca of a similar vintage. I drove it for a while when my grandma passed away and when we moved back to the states my mum gave it to a childhood friend and it is still driving around Sydney somewhere.
I always loved repairing the alternator on these as you can easily replace the diode block complete with new brushes. 2 screws plus - clip and you’re done with 5 minutes.
I had the hatchback version... we rebuilt the motor at 300000kms, after the job we all agreed, all it needed were the new oil rings, and maybe valve seals the original honig marks were still visible and the crankshaft bearing were still in great shape. Toyotas of this age were so well designed.
Really nice car! Toyotas are really reliable, I hope you can fix the remaining oil leak. Having a reliable beater is the way to go!
Those old Toyotas will last a long time man
It shows that the previous owners took care of this car, the fact you got it with the owners manual and the original sale papers means that it definitely meant a lot to whoever owned it before.
Your car brings up memories of my 1990 Corolla that I bought slightly used in 1990. I piled 155,000 miles on it, only having to replace a thermostat and the battery and routine tire maintenance. It was a candy apple red metallic, very classy for an economy car.
That's awesome you got a decent little car to fix up for so cheap!
I recently had purchased a car here in the US, only paid $1,600 USD for it, perfectly running and in pretty decent shape, the paint is chipping in some spots. Generally you'll spend that much on a car that is completely destroyed honestly around my area that I live in, so this was an awesome deal. It just hit its 355,000 miles mark and she getting around wonderfully. A purchase I am happy about!
Cool video! I always buy older cars, and it's always fun reconditioning them. And it's always interesting seeing how somebody else does this; I never know what new ideas I'll pick up.
missed the grill man! great recover, that car never dies as all the cars from that era.
First time watcher of your channel, very impressed!
Late 90s Corollas were extremely nostalgic for me, the european/australian models looked really cool, and their look has aged quite well, and I can confirm that they have the usual Toyota reliability, most people here use them nonstop and they still work perfectly.
That thing is damn clean for its age. Careful owners and Toyota reliability!
If you manage to run this Toyota on pure eucalyptus oil, I'd be awed. 🤣
Impressed that you able to find an Ike Ades Toyota commercial from last century. I remember seeing their ads back then.
It’s cool seeing UA-camrs who live near me and have similar interests
these car videos are super interesting you make it look more fun than it is😭
What a beauty!
I still miss mine. Bought it with 140.000 Km on the meter, and drove it another 290.000 KM before it simply rustet away under me, still going strong with only maintenance and minor repairs along the way. The best car i ever had!
Thankyou for rescuing this unique and economical Corolla 🙂
Same car as my mom had before here in Norway. Very good and reliable car.
Awesome. You lucky. Keep it.
Will not go wrong with Toyota. Great video
My Mum had one of these and it was a brilliant little car.
Drove one of these for years. Fantastic car. Drove it until it died then upgraded to a 2014 Mazda 3. Fellow Radelaidian here. 😉
Please buy and restore MOAR those old and beautiful cars!
