The AE86 Lowdown. Models, Types and Grades.
|
Tue, 10 February 2004 00:31

|
All the information here-in is based on the Japanese Domestic Market
1. AE86 came in 2 models types:
> Corolla Levin (Fixed Head Lights) (also known as 'Toyota Sprinter in Australia)
> Sprinter Trueno (Popup Head Lights)
2. now each of these 2 model types came in either:
> coupe (2 doors with a 'boot'. usually called a '2-Door')
> hatchback (2 doors with a lift hatch. usually called a '3-Door')
3. now each model and model type has 3 major model grades. these 3 grades came with 'Lasre' 4A-GE as the standard engine.
> SR - lowest base model, usually with crapy seats and interior trim (same as the ADM 'Toyota Sprinter' Interior). Suspension and differential are lower grade with no LSD as standard. Drum Brake Rear end. Pretty boring model, not as many sold.
> GTV - sports model with weighty items shaved off. comes with the same grade "Lasre Pegasus" suspension, diff and interior trim parts as the GT Apex grade without the 'luxury' components. Bodykit (mentioned below) is also an option as well as Power steering, sunroof and Aircon. All disc brakes as standard, front discs are vented (not slotted or drilled.. VENTED)
> GTAPEX - luxury model with the most options. Comes with everything the GTV does but with lots of optons such as : Power windows, power steering, cruise control, sunroof, power mirrors, climate control, (Aircon is standard), digital gauge cluster, better pioneer stereo, body kit (front lip, sideskits + rear spoiler 'lip')
(there are a few others such as GT, SE, XL and XL Lisse i wont menion these as they are sub grades usually with a 3A-C engine )
4. AE86's were manufactured from early 1983 to mid 1985 and from late 1985 to late 1987 (AE86's were only sold in australia between 1983 to 1985 Under the name 'Toyota Sprinter')
each of these two periods have names:
> cars manufactured between 1983 - mid 1985 are called "Zenki" loosely meaning "first" in japanese
> cars manufactured between late 1985 - 1987 are called "Kouki" loosely meaning "after or 'second'" in japanese
there were many changes in the exterior and interior apprearance (notably the front bars and lights and the rear taillghts) and some in the changes of the differential (larger, stronger axle splines for the 'kouki') and engine specs between "Zenki" and "Kouki" but very minimal changes overall.
Some Information on thse changes badly translated from (http://www.fzr.jp/nii/garage/car/ae86data/)

The SR i think is an ae85 3 door,
the SE is the 2 door.
They also came in RHYME, and LISSIE models.
RHYME is a model specifically aimed at girls!!!! and I am bloody serious .
It's got the plush GT Apex interior including the wheel. It's got power steering and aircon aswell . But obviously chicks dont need the performance of a 4gae and an LSD.
Lissie is similar, as it caters for another niche market .
