Trueno is only a AE86 with popups....

Fixed headlights are Levin, popups are Truenos.

I knew this
I just thought that it made some difference among varoius technical names

Trueno parts are kinda cheap if you know where to buy them. Bumpers are getting a bit hard to find....

How I envy you!
Are OEM bumpers the same both on Levin and Trueno? Mmh no, Levin one are "lower", right?
Converting a Levin to Trueno, the body part on the sides of the hood (the plate above front guard welcoming front direction indicators) must be replaced too? Is there a step by step guide or something?

Good deal! I read posts dating back to 2012 where it was spoke about 10k at least for cars in non-good condition

Swapping is simples.

You will need.

Hood, two fenders, Bumper.
Two relays, some wiring and Trueno headlight switch.

[Patrick Ross]

But how about "front wings"? Can you post some photos of your AE86?

When i said fenders, were wings!



Last weekend! FUN FUN FUN

Welcome.

Quote: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 Tongue
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.

AE88 VIN was an 'american' only thing though. Alot of people seem to think that all lhd models are AE88's. I always cringe when i see that, no offence.

I thought they were two distinct parts of the same section

Very nice AE86! And you run on the track!... Did i already tell you that I envy you?! ;p

Thanks for the info

I make use of your willingness to know if it's confortable for everyday use: is it loud from the outside, little soundproof from the inside, unconfortable seats, little room trunk, fuel consumption, etc...?

Thank you Zenki

North America, yes. You're right, I apologize.

Can you lead me to such shops?

[zenki]

“Yahoo auctions” for smaller bits. I bought a complete set of new doorhinges there for the price of one hinge from the dealership.

I use mine as daily driver (stock 16v). Fuel consumption is ok for an old car.

[Patrick Ross]

Thanks, you are really kind.
I'd say you convinced me so I'll edit again the original posts
There's still the matter of finding one at good price. Not just that, I need to lower the price limit due to future swapping

What can you say about the other parameters (noise emission, interior soundproof, etc...)? Maybe you can compare it to other vehicoles you had/drove.

Maybe I missed this but what country you in?
