- We review a 5th generation Corolla of the E80 series, the AE82. It is carbureted, it make seventy-ish horsepower and it's not quite as nice as a Honda Ef Hatch.

"It's like the car is trying to give you blue balls, but forgets that it actually has to get you hard first"
That's just fucking genius.
Yuri Corrêa you saw the video too?
No, just read the transcript and then came here to comment on the actual video for the giggles and funny replies!
Trying to play hard to get but you already hard to want.
Yuri Corrêa yep
I read this as soon as he said it
"it's like the car is trying to give you blueballs, but forgets that it actually has to get you hard first"
The best yet lol!
Funny, but inaccurate. When I was first getting to know my current girlfriend (and now my baby-mama), I used to get blueballs just from sitting next to her on the couch, not even thinking about sex. She was very good at making me feel appreciated, and apparently oxytocin ("the love hormone") is also used by men's bodies to get your nuts ready to do their job. So I'd drive a couple hours to visit her for the weekend, we'd get take-out and watch a movie, she'd go to bed, and I'd stand up from the couch and...oh god, my balls hurt so much I could barely walk. Never happened with any other woman.
I had a 93 Corolla..
@Shawn Elliott
Ok
The Corolla IS the Definition of Regular Car
Doktor Hachi Roku Agreed. But my 2000 4runner is regular in an awesome way.
***** Petrol. Limited, leather, sunroof, electronic rear diff lock, etc. 185k miles and runs like a sewing machine....I DID have to fix the notorious right rear frame rust issue lol.
Corolla was the most sold car in Finland 15 Years straight. You can not look out side an not see at least one Corolla.
nah Camry IS the Definition of Regular Car
***** yeah, here in France there's mostly 2005 auris, yaris, aygo, verso (frogs loves mpv) and rare camry and starlet..
But I guess throughout the world, Camry is one of their bestsellers
I had an 88 FX that I picked from a dealership for $5. No joke. I still have the dealer invoice. Red Rocket was a great car.
Zack Lance I had a towtruck and was just given one it was an 87 fx with single barrel carb, I'm a very guy so I let my gf have it as her first car it's name was George it was red and had 3spd auto... Great little shitbox I enjoyed it, drove it 100miles with the oil cap off shit blew everywhere but still ran fine
@Nathan Brown against the £1 Volvo that Clarkson got for the £100 car challenge
Red Rocket is the name of my 87 AW11.
CAN YOU GUYS DO A REGULAR HORSE REVIEW PLEASE , it would be really funny
upvote this guy lol
How much horsepower does a horse have
1
I heard Mr Regular loves "Pony Cars"...
Actually, horses can put out around 15 peak horsepower.
This has to be the most regular car i've ever seen.
tryhardnoob so regular when you pass by it you be like it never was there.
That's because you've never seen a Fiat Duna, that's the pinnacle of regular cars
Have you see the "Dacia logan" i dare you.
Clearly you've never seen a Subaru Justy. 😉
@@rolon-ew5kl: Or if you're my first college girlfriend, you keep getting rear-ended by other cars because they literally don't notice a champagne-colored Corolla on the road because it's the most common car in the industrialized world painted the most forgettable color of all time. Even a plain white car is more noticeable because it's brighter in sunlight.
The AE82 and 86 came out in the same year... and both were optioned with 4age..
chipchip Yeah! it because this was stil in the E80 generation, the replacement was a FWD coupe from E90 gen
only in 87 and the ones with the 4ag were extremely rare.
Not in Japan/NZ/maybe others. 1983 with 4age.
chipchip In america where this review takes place.
Thought so. Wasn't that what the FX16 version was all about?
"I have no idea how this carburetor works!"
Said every person ever about any carburetor.
I don't think "magic" is a fair explanation in today's scientific world. ;)
Carburetors are pretty straightforward to me. I've rebuilt plenty of OPE and motorcycle carbs in my day. If a carb ain't running right--it's pretty intuitive as to why.
carburetors are fucking easy
No a Holley or even a Q jet is pretty easy to understand just a straightforward application of Bernoulli's principle but some of these late 80s computer controlled carburetors were Rube Goldberg devices.
Start with a side-draught SU carburettor off an MG or a Triumph or something. Those things have about three moving parts and a design going back to the 1920s. They're as simple as a carburettor gets. They work exactly like a perfume atomizer. It'll get you started on the basic concept. Then later on you can move on to studying more complex carbs (ha!) that have things like secondaries and accelerator pumps and idle circuits.

If you still have the old Cressida, please review it. 80's Toyotas are my A E S T H E T I C.
i have a 86 celica and its awesome to ride tbh :)
Yeah please.
I believe he did review a Cressida at some point.
AirCooledGaming no he didn't
Close, he did indeed do a video featuring a Cressida, but it wasn't a feature program. It was a "Car Stories" or similar. Cressidas are cool; a luxury car with the heart of a Cellica Supra. If I get lucky, I'll find one in good order with leather seats & a stick-shift. Stick-shift luxury cars are so goddamn hard to lay hands on.
Me: can i get an ae86?
Mom: we have an ae86 at home
Ae86 at home:
My friend's first car was an '87 Camry. He got it for free from a family friend, it had around 420,000kms at the time he got it. The car was absolutely falling apart. It had been sitting for a few years, and the first day he got it running we went camping in it about 2 hours out of town. The car ran so well. The only issue was the wheel bearings were dead so it ate through tires quicker than a professional pie eater. But man, was that car ever fun. Because it didn't matter, it was crap, we could do whatever.
Nope, talking 'bout a guy named Max in BC, Canada.
TheS2Guy I'm driving an '86 Camry right now. I got it for $400, and it's my first car. I fucking love it. It runs like a dream. Even at 280k miles, it's a joy to drive. These things are magic, man.
Jeremy Bess Good for you man. I used to have an 86 camry for a short time. They handle pretty nice huh? Way better than the second gens. The slushbox even kicks down pretty quick and the car always had plenty of low end power. We must preserve at least a few of these old japanese tin boxes as the herd is getting quite thin now.
I have an ‘03 camry that was my uncle’s drivers car that had 350k km, i’m now @ 410k km & I really dc what anyone says about how boring they are, i thrash it around all the time & the thing never breaks, i fucking love it :D
I had one of these with the 4age motor when it first came out. It was called the FX16, and was a blast to drive. It was as fast as a Civic Si or Rabbit GTi from the same time period.
my buddies got an fx16 gt-s, definitely the funnest car ive been in, handles like a go kart
i love these super regular car reviews! classic stuff!
I miss this kind of review, all are great though
I can safely say the corolla has never been in my life. I don't think I've even been a passenger in one.
Andrew Hillhouse Same. Closest I got was test driving an '09 XRS. Damn nearly put me to sleep.
I sat in one in a showroom once. Didn't even start it before i decided to buy a Civic instead.
My first car was a '90 Corolla, and I'm pretty sure that makes me a basic bitch of the car world...
My history with the Corolla is bad because some dipshit almost hit me doing I say 50 on a 35 road and that dipshit smash into a 1987 GMC Topkick Shit tanker also he's not dead but close to getting his ribs crushed in by the dash and filled his inside with shit.
Andrew Hillhouse me neither instead my life has been full of Nissan Sentras
my first car was a 1987 Toyota Corolla FX16 GTS. great first car. loved it.
my uncle gave me a 2002 hyundai accent 5spd 1.5l and this car is pretty much the last of the simple cheap cars. everything is manual and it has about 90hp. I love this damn car, it's everything you want in a daily driver. cheap, slow, good mpg, 4 seats, quiet on the road, and no modding capabilities
I live in Canada, none of the Hondas or Toyotas of the 80's even lasted through the 90's here. Sure they were reliable cars mechanically, but with the winters here and salt on the roads, those cars with their inferior gauge and quality of steel in the body panels literally dissolved here.
I do remember working on that 4-AC when I was young. Changed the oil/filter/air filter, recharged the A/C, replaced the spark plugs, replaced the factory tape deck with an aftermarket one. Man were those good times.
I bought a used '88 Corolla FX (8-valve) back in 1996. It was sliver with a blue interior with the 5-speed and a sunroof. The AC was ice cold and it sipped fuel. It was one of the most reliable used cars I've ever owned. That thing ran forever.
I owned this exact car, except it was blue with blue interior and it looked cooler...wheels had black centers. Mine was a 5 speed with A/C and a cassette deck. The hatch held a full size mattress and box spring with the seat down, super handy. My friends could all pile in for trips. Got great mileage and was very comfortable, easiest stick shift i ever drove. Used up break pads often and the muffler rusted out 3 times... but besides a bit of carb adjustment it was extremely reliable. They weren't selling well so i got it new at the end of the year for $7500 new i believe. Great car, miss it.
Good song at the end!
Underrated car. Functional, gas sipper, strong motor (GTFX model) & soon to be a classic car. I need one of these in my life. Finally glad you got to review one of these.
I had one of these! it was really fun to drive. There was something really mechanical feeling about the gear lever that I loved, which was odd cos it was cable operated
outro song from black mirror? my nigga roman
Zappah he our nigga
Fuck that's what it is! Huge. One of their better covers too.
Loved the commentary about fall. so true.
im gonna listen to all your new vids while at work thats a good idea
My uncle had one of these in the 90s. I hadn't seen one up close since then... until now. Thanks for doing this!
had an ae82. the twincam 4age version was the one to have
Legotruck82 I have a fx-16 gts as my daily and it rips for a little corolla
This is one of my all time favorite cars. Especially in the 3 door hatch. I'm NZ we were lucky enough to get AE82 GT/FX-GT with a 4A-GE in 3 door hatch, sedan, and 5 door liftback, they're pretty common to the point where people often use the engines from these cars to make AE86 clones out of AE85s.
This is the BEST car show in the world! Each video a jewel!
This was the first car I had after getting my driver's license! It was my mom's old car... It used to shake so much on the highway when I got it close to 70 that I thought it would fall apart!
Solid review, but also top notch Roman!
The only FWD corolla I like that was available in the states is an AE-92 GTS. "almost as good as the tofu car, 1/4th the price... no drifting."
dafiltafish ahhh the discount 86 I call it
dafiltafish I used to powerslide my 88 FX 16 ALLL Over the place
I agree with Zack Lance, seems like people forgot about the FX16
I stand by what I said, I am a whore for pop-up lights and the whole "sport coupe" aesthetic. Hatches can be cool too, but there isnt much distinguishing the FX-16 from its contemporary competition.
***** Oh for sure AE-92 looked great, just figured as for fun factor.
Is there a chance we'll get 60fps video in the future?
cptnoremac I used to export the videos at 60 frames a second but some people complained they got motion sick
I wish I had something to play videos in 60fps without wanting to end it own life from the torture of just loading the video.
RegularCars Motion sick from more fps? Isnt it supposed to be the other way around???
RegularCars
srsly? I'm pretty sure real life is more than 60fps. These must be some really sick people.
Those people can stick it then.
You can always play the video in 30fps if you really want to
Wow, that analogy with the fall anxiety..... that was spot on. I came here for a car review and laughs, and I am now sitting here, having a flashback to childhood memories. Great.
hahaha! your "blue-ball" closing statement killed me! (^^;)
ae82 gti corolla's do have the 4age stock though
Gerrit-Jan Bergwerf yup, some SR5's too, no mods needed.
Almost bought one with I think a 20v swap. xD

Yes, even the supercharged 4AGZE .
You, sirs, always put a smile on my face.
Truly, I don't give a steaming dog pile about the cars. I'm here for the content, delivery, and music. RGR and Roman, this was a good one.
He's a muf*kin carboy
Awesome Starboy remix Roman.
holy crap I learnt to drive in an '88 corolla. That interior shot at 6:10 brought back so many memories!
Okay, I need a full version of the intro song. Favorite cover yet.
They don't make hot hatchbacks anymore. Not like these. My grandma had a '89 4 door corolla till 2010 I think it had over 300k miles. Old Toyota's have a lot of life in them.
This isn't hot, in any way. It has 80hp. Lol
Mic Krout for the 80s that probably wasn’t terrible. Especially out of a carburetted straight 4. You had v8s producing similar figures that weighed 4 times as much. The FX16 models were more the hot hatch type though
Liking that 15 million merits at the end there
This review reminds me of the older ones toward the beginning, I loved those.
Simply the best video series in existence.
I would love to see the high performance model of this car. I use to see them around all the time. Now I do not see them as much on the road. I would love to own a Starlet that was rear wheel drive. This Corolla kinda of reminds me of my first car a 1988 Sentra with four speed. I hope Mr. Regular gets to review one of those one day. If not that generation then the next generation SE-R.
David Walcott i have an 87 corolla fx16gts. its too much fun.
I've seen one late 80s white Toyota Corolla fx hatchback today in my city from the freeway probably came from a different city, I own a 85 Nissan Sentra little older than late 80s Sentra . Looks the same as Camry of same year .
This is one of the cars United States got that Canada never got. I guess hatchbacks weren't on Canadians shortlist at the time.
yeah I've never seen a single one.
yah i know.. does anyone ever know why? im pretty sure would be popular here
sort of weird. I mean, maybe Toyota thought the Tercel hatch (a car Canada DID get) was enough for their hatchback entry into the market but yeah, not quite sure. Actually now that I think about it. Didn't us Canadians get the 80's Nissan Micra which wasn't sold in the US? So yeah, I would love to hear Toyota's reasoning.
But i rather get a corolla than a tercel but whatever we always wonder
Geo4242 true. who knows.
Very nice music as usual Roman. Badass intro and lovely outro.
Tfw you're absolutely drop dead tired but you can't sleep no matter what you try. and then your phone buzzes and there's a new episode of RCR
Couldn't you get the ae82 with a 4age from factory? Because people use the twin cams as donors all the time to swap into the ae71/ke70.
Corollas aren't that common in Spain, I feel either the SEAT Ibiza or the French compacts (Renault Megane, Peugeot 306/307/308 or Citroen Xsara/C4) are the cars we've seen a million times
BTW, I love throwing around my dad's 65hp SEAT Inca (courier van based after the SEAT Ibiza). The rigidity of the back is fairly good and it's lots of fun to make it skid around and all that. Cheap old "slow" cars are the most fun to push to the limit, both accessible and fun and most seem to be able to take the beating. You will not overheat an Inca in 15 minutes like I've seen pro drivers do with a Lamborghini Gallardo or a Honda S2000. Weird, right?
as SEAT is Spanish it is normal I suppose to have a lot of SEATs
Γιώργος Βαρδ The top seller is usually a French company, I think Renault tends to win
Γιώργος Βαρδ Seat used to make Fiat rebadged models until it was sold to Wolkswagen (late 80's I think).
renault tends to win where???? no chance because its a group even the volkswagen polo or golf outsell renault by far
Now they make rebadged vw-s.. xd
First car was an '88 Corolla FX with the 3-speed automatic...though I wished it was standard and though it was riddled with issues due to previous owner's apathy for maintenance, I loved this thing so damn much. This car gave birth to my love of cars and taught me so much about them...They only had this body style for 1987 and 1988. If I ever saw one of these again, particularly the FX16 w/ 5 speed, I'd take every effort to ensure that it stands in my driveway.
These 'Rollas are pretty sick, they remind me of kp62 starlets which I absolutely love 👍 awesome review guys!
Anyone else notice the blue Echo around the 3 minute mark? Rip
The truth about these old small cars being fun has been spoken!
I love rewatching all of these. You have such a grasp on nostalgia. Commented to say that gravity falls captures that feeling painfully well.
My first car was a sedan version of the AE82. Loved that car. It still survives to this day.
How about a Mazda 323 BG hatchback. With the 1.6 engine.
It's 3:08 am and I should be doing math and I just snuck downstairs to lay down some BROWN in the toilet because I can't use mine because people are sleeping and this one is far away from everything....
Lil Baby Boy strike a match and FIRE UP THE AFTERBURNER
it's funny too because Mr. Regular posts his videos at 4:00 AM in his time zone
My cousin bought a new FX16 hatch 5 speed.....let me drive...fun car and inspired me to purchase a 85 MR2.....now I'm proud Owner of a 85 and 86 MR2...
I used to have the sedan AE83. This episode gives me the feels. And I replaced it with a 90 Cressida. That's why I love this series. They know me.❤️
I think the "electronically controlled" carb just might mean it has a throttle position sensor in it. My DRZ has one on the carb, but you can disconnect it from the computer and it does absolutely nothing. It just satisfies some emissions regulation somewhere.
Comiefornia?
I always felt this looked too much like an AMC Gremlin.
Radical AM I was literally thinking of the same thing!
But without the fun and weirdness of a Gremlin.
But the gremlin fits a V8
It's really the USDM look alike of a Toyota starlet. But a starlet is better in every way at least by times 2.
your words really hit home especially as an ae80 owner who modded his, you are right in saying how much money do you wanna dump into one of these cars
Best RCR closing song ever! The harmonies got me exited.
Wait...was that Ol' Heller at 3:03?
dont forget the ae82 chevy nova
I bet when that came out a lot of people were disappointed it was just a rebadged Corolla vs a muscle car.
Wow, dude, a AE82 sedan was one of my first cars and the first car I nodded. You hit the nail on the head with EVERYTHING you said. The 4AC is FUN and the carb is responsive, just never try to work on that carb because like you said its a clusterfuck. I SO want another...
Dude, the closing line was legendary!
I was really hoping it would be an FX16 (FWD 4A-GE Goodness) in the same pedestrian hatchback body
SSC3034 rcr needs to review my car
the st162 celica.
FX16 GTS......nuff said
I had an FX16 back in the day. Nice little pocket rocket with the 4AG, 4 wheel discs, front strut bars,all stock. Was even able to take a free tour of the NUMMI plant but that was way after the production of this car ended
YES YES YES!!! Finally an AE82 !!!!!
Also OMG BLACK MIRROR REFERENCE.
Holy fuck did Toyota go wrong bringing this out after the amazing 86...
they came out at the same time, this was like the economy corolla although the 4AG was still optional
Typical weeb, the AE86 is an overhyped grocery getter, the AE82 had an optional 4AGE as well.
dontbecutk
if you call the AE86 "overhyped" you obviously havnt driven one.
***** I dont overhype it. Just seeing the drift king win 2x the power turbo cars on touge years ago made me respect the car.
*****
considering i can keep up with 90% of whats around in the backroads and mountains, its not overhyped.
go drive one, then come back.
i got sad when this review ended because i just love these car reviews.
Nice video boys. Especially roman with the intro and outro
All this talk of motor swaps and no mention of the FX16, which came with a 4AGE?
Yeh also the ae82s in Australia came with the 4age lol from 1985 to 1988
this car killed off all the rear wheel drive corollas.
99-05 mk4 Jetta, golf and gti please review one of these!!! I enjoy the videos. Informative and hilarious!!!!!!
I had an AE90 Sprinter with the 4AGE (same as the prizm gsi) when i lived in the caribs and it was an absolute riot.
Can a camry count as a corolla? One totaled my Mustang, and I don't really want to have another Toyota intersect somewhere in my life.
Get a Honda.
Alexander Rahl wait, did you just say a Camry totaled your MUSTANG? you sure its not the other way around?
"Camry's revenge"
Something something Cars & Coffee.
Camrys have been retaliating against all the cars and coffee wrecking mustangs.
That's my problem with slow cars, they give me blue balls. I just can't get off in them. No matter how much I want to like them.
Mike Morris depends a Miata or an ae86 or any of the old English roadsters if they run can be quite fun, but regular ass slow cars are just boring.
Mike Morris I
That closing line, brilliant.
My grandmas mother bought one brand new. My mother and several of her siblings and cousins learned to drive in it. Now it's mine and i love it!
Even though I'm 2 meters tall and hit i my head on the roof and my knees on the steering wheel all the time
What a cockblocking car!
well said.
you absolute waffle, its 2AM and now i have to watch you reveiw some obscure toyota.
NOONTIDE, Corollas are most literally the antonym of "Obscure"
Volodar Ivanov ive never seen the two seater hatch from this era. sure, the corolla in general is anything but obscure, but this model from this time is actually pretty rare. maybe even obscure. i might be too young, though.
NOONTIDE, look up AE101 and AE111 Levin/Trueno. There're also RWD 2-dr Corollas/Sprinters other than AE86
Volodar Ivanov nnnno they're fwd bro. ae92 Levin/trueno is even more obscure (and fwd) than the 101 and 111. wish I still had my 92 Levin GT apex :(
Toyotas from that era are extremely obscure in Europe. A cheap car from that time would usually come from France or Italy. The Italians have all rusted away, but the Peugot 205 are still around, nice little ones, and the GTI variant is just great.
Should've done a review on the FX16, now those corollas are awesome! I have the gts model and that thing is fun as hell
My mother had one of those when i was a kid ! A red 87 1.3 DX ! It was sloooow but endlessly reliable!
Tic Tac down an *OPEN MANHOLE*.
Pshh as if I could afford a carolla. #Tercel
Nathaniel Cushing My dad had Tercel hatches growing up! That's what made me buy this AE82!
Learned how to drive on this car in '95 in 8th grade. Me and my buddy would take this sweet vehicle out on the town when my mom fell asleep (mostly just down the street and back). I remember it being real zippy, but then again I was in 8th grade so I had nothing to compare it to. I"m so happy I learned on a stick because even the millennials I work with can't drive a stick!
Lol love the song parody at the end. Ever since I've watched Black Mirror that song and episode will always stick with me
Man, i saw these going alot in the 90's here in Holland. They were always so beat to hell but somehow still always started. I always thought the design of this thing was funny, i never understood how somebody could ever design such a crap looking car
This was NOT the replacement for the AE86... the AE92 coupe was. Fail...
I learnt to drive in a ae82, instantly fell in love with old car.
i bought the twin cam fx16 gts new and it was very slow around town because you dont get all the 16 valves working until 4200 rpm. most the time i had it floored struggling to keep up with traffic and that was with the electronic transmission in the performance mode. very reliable car for 23 years.
