I would like to buy Toyota corolla AE86 i choose levin kouki but I have some questions about this car.

1.) I would like to buy car with auto-locking (LSD) differential how I recognize if car have it or no. ( Only some types= which, only some production years which...etc)

2.) Which emission norm AE86 have= registration authorities

3.) Are there any traps or weaknesess which used or badly mainteined AE86 can have...

4.) which version is best ? ( some GT...etc) - only kouki version

Thanks a lot for ansvers- my english isnt very good so some technical term please write simply

THANKS

1.) All EU spec AE86´s should have an LSD, but to be sure jack the rear axle up, turn one wheel by hand, if the other wheel turns in the same direction=LSD if it turns the other way= open

2.)might be better to ask someone from your country, try them?

3.) rust and everything else you whould expect from a almost 30year old car...

4.) very difficult to stay ahead of all the different models, also depends where your car was sold, in Germany the AE86 was sold as 2dr only, named Corolla GT, but as far as I´m aware they´ve never had a Kouki model.... Swiss Ae86´s were 3dr and had an uprated LSD, iirc and so on...
And it get a lot more confusing with japanese modells...
