Honestly i would go for anything....
Swapping to a Trueno is like walking on the ice.... I've made it easily.... Two relays and some wires following the OEM schemes.... Done Cheers! |

Already got a Levin and currently barely have time to work on that so not going out of my way to get another one unless it's the bargain of the century

Well... in Portugal no Truenos were sold... But the ones that are imported they don't differ in anything on the papers.... So.....
They are all Corolla GT! They just made it easier for me to swap

So.....Wait, when I say Trueno I mean all Corolla AE86 versions (GT-S, RS5 and other?), as named when exported from Japan, with pop-up headlights Let me explain better: I'm looking for any Corolla AE86 (those exported have AE88 as chassis code in the VIN, right?) with Trueno's body, pop-up headlights and RWD, regardless of the name. Your last phrase send me back to a reply that maybe you missed. (03-28-2018 12:29 PM)pack Wrote: Honestly i would go for anything....I wrote: "Really? But is it more easy to find Trueno's hood? And what about current laws that banned pop-up headlights? Yes, it does not apply to historic cars but what about models not originally provided? Is that legit?" I ask 'cause I'm considering to searching one with fixed headlamps and swap to a Trueno's hood. That if I'll not find a "Trueno". By the way, I'll edit the original posts because I also settle for a "Trueno" with serious mechanical problems Original post edited

Answering....
Trueno is only a AE86 with popups.... Fixed headlights are Levin, popups are Truenos. I have a original Levin, converted to Trueno. Trueno parts are kinda cheap if you know where to buy them. Bumpers are getting a bit hard to find.... In Portugal all Levin and imported Truenos are named "Corolla GT", so doesn't really matter what you have. You're always legal. Cheers |
