you have grasped why people still love cars like this perfectly. Slow car Fast is more fun than Fast car Slow. The manual steering on these is super direct, and the sound of the 4AGE (even tho it's not a massively powerful engine) is fantastic. Coupled with a body that weighs around 900kg (1984lbs) makes for a fun cheap car. Sadly parts are becoming harder to find
Legotruck82 I've definitely experienced that slow car fast is more fun than fast car slow. You could bang through 4 gears at full throttle and still go under the speed limit in my Volvo 740 GL ;D. You go full throttle in my Saab and you're going over the speed limit in half a second.
I have a 87' fx16 gts also with 4age and OMG PARTS ARE IMPOSSIBLE UNLESS YOU COME ACROSS ONE AT A JUNK YARD EVERY 6-8 MONTHS ... LOL KEEP THE AE82 GOING #NEWAGEFORTHE4AGE #SWEET16
you're so right about slow cars being more fun to drive hard. Being able to utilize more of the power, and it definitively takes more skill if it's a manual considering chances are you'll be shifting a hell of a lot more to stay in the power band.
4:07 Wow that was an eye opener. So you're saying is, that I don't need to spend over 20k in a car,and I don't need over 400 horsepower to be a fun having automotive enthusiast ? I'm considering now buying an similar momentum car and spend as little as possible,people will probably laugh at me and my choice,but I don't seem to care anymore, I just want to have fun.
Lachezar Lazarov As others have mentioned, there’s plenty of inexpensive great fun cars. Personally I’m a huge fan of the Mitsubishi gto / 3000gt vr4, you can pick up super clean ones for around 10k
I'd love to get one of these and put a blacktop and a six speed into it. This car seems like a stupid amount of fun... Just something about low power 80-90s cars with amazing induction noise, and hammering it feels so fun.
Proud AE82 owner myself, white Australian model SECA. 4AGE cold air intake and coilovers really all you need for a touge nugget. Loving these 82 vids dude
This is awesome. Everybody is doing drift builds and they're forgetting the fun that can be had on the roads crusing!!! Hats off to you Riley!!! I'm glad you didn't part that thing out
Awesome video, New Zealand where I am from have quite a few fans of the ae82. We had a nzdm model with the unrestricted 4age engine, leather interiors, tuned suspension for NZ roads and a 240kmh speedo😎😎!
Nice. The 4AGE is a great little engine. Loves to rev and, while not a lot of power, sounds great. It works well in these small cars (I have an AW11). You need to put this engine in perspective for it's time: it was one of the first mass market 16V overhead cam engines with.EFI and electronically controlled ignition (Accord's were still using carburetors). Toyota continued to refine and improve it for almost another decade (supercharged, 7 rib, smallport, 20V silvertop and blacktops, iTB's, and VVT). The biggest issue with these old Toyota's: rust. Engines and drive trains outlast the cars many times over (prior to zinc dipping sheet metal).
You always do great builds loved watching how in depth you get on some of these cars is such a nice change from other youtubers respect man keep doing what you do man!
You should make this car your “unofficial “ , not serious, project car. Keep it fun, cheap and tasteful. Only seen one of these cars in real life. Same color and all an old friend owned it.
Awesome video man, I have a ae101 fx-gt corolla with the 20v silvertop motor and 5 speed.... starting to show its age with the oil light flashing on at start up (not sure whats causing it, goes away after a few seconds and only on cold start) and a crunchy 2nd gear but shes still a lot of fun to drive, nimble wee thing and good fun! :D love your corolla, sounds super healthy. Hope you keep it for a wee while longer and do a few more vids on it :)
At this point my go-to way to put my self in a good mood before bed is to just take a couple dabs and binge your vids and thefellasnetwork. If you cant think of anything to upload, just do a random driving vid like this. It can be any of your cars, i could watch this shit for hours
If you want to repair your 4th gear the car takes the C50 or C52 trans most C series transmissions are compatible and can easily be found in Corollas from 88-97 both ae92 and ae100 cars probably lots available as you are in the PNW. The syncros are the weak point of the C transmission. Keep up the videos from this car. Performance corollas are a riot to drive I used to have an ae92 GTS now I have the Corolla XRS both are excellent.
I've been working on what will be my first car for about two months now the 87 Corolla 4 door and it's just now been able to idle again after 2 years. it's having some over heating issues I'm trying to solve but this is a nice look on to what I will have hopefully here soon, I'm so excited
There’s a guy I see at autocross with one of these and his car is crazy quick. His has an engine swap, stand-alone ecu, and a ton of suspension work. These car are pretty sick when given to the right people.
i have a sr5 corolla, didnt have a radio sunroof or painted bumpers but it does have power steering, it was 1100 Canadian and has almost no rust, none you can see and none to the structure and 115k km. still a crazy fun car even with no front sway bar and sad excuse for one in the rear and stupid soft suspension, after a tun up when i got it, its been dead reliable
20 v silver top 4age conversion mate . you can buy this model here in Australia and Japan I’ve got my AE82 with 20v and mr2 aw11 lsd gearbox bolted to it hopefully to turbo it after I finish retro mod it , I’ve got a 16v 4age going into a ford laser KE sometime soon too
The ae82 is indeed a rare find. As an owner of one I can honestly say that I would buy another if I could find one. I can also tell you that if you wait until 6700rpms in 3rd to shift you will have zero power loss going straight to 5th. I can also tell you they will do 150mph without breaking a sweat.
Hey there loved the video I have the ae92 Toyota Corolla with the 4agze engine converted to turbo makes 170 kilowatts at the front wheels absolutely love it
Love for the Corolla! Woot! I would recommend EBC slotted and drilled rotors along with Red pads; personally have used them and would think you'll enjoy the set up. Warning though, might be a good amount of break dust but it stops the car on a dime after warming up from a few turns.
aw shit god damn the sounds it makes :o Totally agree with the whole 'slow car fast' point you made. Love my na6 mx-5 for the same reason. Nothing quite like beating on a car and not getting in trouble.
Have an ae82 twincam myself would highly recommend to order set of Manon Racing Product coilovers, put on 15inch wheel, good quality tyres and it makes it amazing to drive
LOL its just growing on you this is the way I feel it's just fun the tinker with a car like that none of my cars are beautie Queens or fast I just like to drive them thanks for the video keep it up
crutksdub yeah thought about it. Love the mk2. This is my second mk6 Jetta first one was a base 2.slow and this is a GLI it's only had problems since I owned it 22 miles -3800 I have now
Front wheel drive Corollas are so underrated but honestly thats not a bad thing. AE86's are so damn expensive. The Tofu tax makes these FWD Corollas really appealing to me. I disagree with you about the AE92 though. (Maybe because I own one...) But I think the AE92 has plenty of character. Maybe not the same as this car but I still enjoy the hell out of it.
nailed why I love my MR2 so much I beat the shit out of it, but it loves it! It eggs me on! I park it, and it's ready to go again and again. It's incredible how these brother cars (AE86, AE82, AW11) were so well built.
Dude I know what you mean, I had an 2005 1.7L 5 speed base model civic, it was slow as shit but so fun to whip around corners, redline, rev match...so sad the motor blew up. That's the car I really learned to drive manual in
BMW life 203 yeah I wanted to but I didn't have the time since it was my daily, I needed a new daily as soon as possible so I bought a 2.3 Volvo 940 and its just as fun despite being automatic, still have the civic so well see what happens to it
Ay that thing sounds good as hell!for 800 bucks, shiiiiit. Jus needs some wheels an she's set. I get what you mean by driving slow cars fast. My 88 vw fox wagon is a good example of that. Haha thing has like 80hp. But is a blast to drive through tight winding canyons.
That night drive sounds just like Initial D :) Btw they do 0-100km/h under 10s, miner mods and you scare a lot of modern cars :D I am fortunate to own an AE82 with a 4EFTE engine. 0-100km/h easy under 7s :D

Rather have a ae82 out of factory than a Tesla
So glad you decided to save 'the little guy' bro !! All the homies dont understand why i love driving my slow old corona, you explained it perfectly 🤘
Got a ae82 twin cam seca five door hatch 32 years old . And I still love driving it more than my wife's wrx

Best sounding 112hp I have heard
Try sushpants' recordings with his FX-16.

Lachezar Lazarov I got a aw11 mr2 and that shit fun as fuck stock
mx5s are great fun
Lachezar Lazarov old cheap volvos been best choice i ever done, 200euros, +/-100000km driven by me and 2 years has passed.

This is awesome. Everybody is doing drift builds and they're forgetting the fun that can be had on the roads crusing!!! Hats off to you Riley!!! I'm glad you didn't part that thing out
The car is worth it just for that 4AGE sound, glad you changed your mind a bit on it. It's probably quicker than my 4AC...
you can really hear that TVIS!
you mean the VTEC THAT JUST KICKED IN YO
@@kanggoo57
We don't VTEC 4A-GEs
Awesome video, New Zealand where I am from have quite a few fans of the ae82. We had a nzdm model with the unrestricted 4age engine, leather interiors, tuned suspension for NZ roads and a 240kmh speedo😎😎!
The blue nz gt is for sure my favourite colour way they came in. And definitely prefer the nz look over the fx gt
hell yea the shittier the better

Sounds great! Awesome intake sound
This thing suits you. Tall guy with a small car.
I've been hitting refresh all day hoping this would pop up. Stoked for the future of this car.
It revs high, it feels good, it sounds great. Never thought I'd fall in love with an old corolla engine but the aw11 taught me otherwise.
The sound is the best ! #enjoylife
Awesome video man, I have a ae101 fx-gt corolla with the 20v silvertop motor and 5 speed.... starting to show its age with the oil light flashing on at start up (not sure whats causing it, goes away after a few seconds and only on cold start) and a crunchy 2nd gear but shes still a lot of fun to drive, nimble wee thing and good fun! :D love your corolla, sounds super healthy.

Needed something to watch in bed, thanks man

I'd throw you my spare gearbox for cheap if you lived in Australia . Got so many corolla spares in my garage.

Underpowered light cars are really the best. Glad you're enjoying it
Definitely one of my top 3 favorite sounding engines
I spent my highschool years behind of the wheel of a '90 sr5, different motor, but such a great car! 👍 for suction cups and duct tape
This video made me remember why I loved my ae80 with a 20valve

Do you watch sushpants? He also makes some great AE82 content
Love that induction sound on that outside pov
You know this is just going to make you buy another AE86 again, right?
yes
That 4age sounds great when it opens up
Hey there loved the video I have the ae92 Toyota Corolla with the 4agze engine converted to turbo makes 170 kilowatts at the front wheels absolutely love it
Dude, is that your Civic hatch???!!!!
4a always sounds so good!
$800 not bad.. that’s how much I paid for my ae86 way back in the day haha
Love for the Corolla! Woot! I would recommend EBC slotted and drilled rotors along with Red pads; personally have used them and would think you'll enjoy the set up. Warning though, might be a good amount of break dust but it stops the car on a dime after warming up from a few turns.
This corolla is awesome
Could easily see it turning into a track car or boosted sleeper
Get some wider wheels new trans, kyb shocks and you good to go👍
Always good content. Thanks for another one.
This car makes me want to get a w11 mr2
aw shit god damn the sounds it makes :o Totally agree with the whole 'slow car fast' point you made. Love my na6 mx-5 for the same reason. Nothing quite like beating on a car and not getting in trouble.
love the car man please make more videos on this car would love to see how you slowly improve it
its funny because the engine and induction sound is very similar to the K20z3 in my Si. fuckin sick
This little nugget is awesome but if this got some ITB's tho...
i like that outside angle *thumbs up my dude*
Dude nice sound !! , long live to 4age 16v !!
Sounds so good
Would love to see some 20v ITBs on this
Have an ae82 twincam myself would highly recommend to order set of Manon Racing Product coilovers, put on 15inch wheel, good quality tyres and it makes it amazing to drive
needs some ITB's now! I love the sound even stock.
This is what Honda engines make me feel like, Reving fun.
LOL its just growing on you this is the way I feel it's just fun the tinker with a car like that none of my cars are beautie Queens or fast I just like to drive them thanks for the video keep it up
Dang this was sick. If VW doesn't buy me out I plan to buy a car like this
crutksdub yeah thought about it. Love the mk2. This is my second mk6 Jetta first one was a base 2.slow and this is a GLI it's only had problems since I owned it 22 miles -3800 I have now

When the TVIS kick is yOOOO
The ae82, is actually a really great autox car. Theres a couple in my area that are complete monsters
hell yea. made in the 80s loved by the ladies!
nailed why I love my MR2 so much
I beat the shit out of it, but it loves it! It eggs me on!
I park it, and it's ready to go again and again.
It's incredible how these brother cars (AE86, AE82, AW11) were so well built.
less is more!
Dude I know what you mean, I had an 2005 1.7L 5 speed base model civic, it was slow as shit but so fun to whip around corners, redline, rev match...so sad the motor blew up. That's the car I really learned to drive manual in
Mitchell Thibeault could have swapped the motor for 600$
BMW life 203 yeah I wanted to but I didn't have the time since it was my daily, I needed a new daily as soon as possible so I bought a 2.3 Volvo 940 and its just as fun despite being automatic, still have the civic so well see what happens to it
Notif squad, not really. Just checking this channel on the daily.
Nice I have a gts love it more please
yooo that third gen civic in the background tho!
Send it haha, the jump in beat it cars are the best :)
Main reason I daily an E36 compact lol
I recommend some ultra racing braces. Really tightens up an old chassis.
Finally!!! Thanks for this!
I grew up being driven around in one of these. It was never driven hard though.... I always thought it was a bit dainty until now
Driving slow cars fast is my favorite past time.
Ever thought about getting an AE92 Alltrac Sedan? Those are pretty rare from what I've heard.
Everytime I see one for sale, they want $3k+
They are considered an AE95 when they are AWD the sedans are really rare only offered for like 88 or 89 the wagons are a bit more common.
I think the wagos are super ugly, would be cool to own a manual 4age / 3SGTE one. Would be a strange car.
My boy Riley with the sick ass upload.
a fun little car that's good on gas? hell yeah.
LETS SEE A VIDEO ON THE CIVIC! also in the uk these cars are rare as hens teeth. look after it for us brits.
I have a feeling you would highly enjoy a midship 4age layout *wink*wink*
You should get a na miata, you'd love driving it.
THE CIVIC THO.
A video on that would be cool, my first car was an E-AT(86 SI). Shweet
It just makes all the right and all the wrong noises at the same time
Arey ou planning on fixing the transmission and maybe replacing the bumpers and stuff? I kinda fell in love with that car. :D
Oh, fuk ya. This is gonna be good.
Ay that thing sounds good as hell!for 800 bucks, shiiiiit. Jus needs some wheels an she's set. I get what you mean by driving slow cars fast. My 88 vw fox wagon is a good example of that. Haha thing has like 80hp. But is a blast to drive through tight winding canyons.
That night drive sounds just like Initial D :)
Btw they do 0-100km/h under 10s, miner mods and you scare a lot of modern cars :D
I am fortunate to own an AE82 with a 4EFTE engine. 0-100km/h easy under 7s :D
Fuck Yeah!
blacktop or silvertop swap it. Then you can get parts easier and it will be even more fun!
Peep that 3rd gen civic 👀
In Japan it’s called a FX gt
Nice!!
Ive got a rwd ke70 and am putting a turbo 16v 4age into it :) Hopefully it goes like shit haha
I have a 1997 celica with same transmission and same problem 4th gear pops out please tell me when u fix it i would love to know whats the issue
Hey man, could you locate a roller or shell 85'? We can communicate and discuss further. Thank you.
I been looking to find a car with a 4age!
Im hering a whine or spool up at a 6:03 its n/a but it sounded like I had a force induction or the gear box whine lol
BOOSTED 1327 :D thats just the gearbox/diff
