Help: Toyota 98 XE or Honda 1996 LXI

[tanatej]

E10 ba kamo? Palitan ang makina! Dami pampalit sa bigbody... you can put the 4A-GE of Initial D fame, 4E-FTE for some turbo fun, 4A-GZE for some SUPERCHARGED fun, and basically any Toyota engine of that era you can shoehorn in. Gusto mo ng DIESEL na corolla? hanap ka 2C na makina. If you trade in the 2E make sure you get a good price kasi daming taxi fleet naghahanap ng piyesa niyan.

It's their flexibility and ease of maintenance that helps maintain the XE's value. If you look at the car ads they almost match the value of a same-year GLi, Honda Accord or a 7G Galant more or less a couple thousand pesos simply because if you buy one, kahit na may sira yan madali lang ayusin sa (relatively) murang halaga.

Hmmm. Medyo mabutingting lang yung A-series. We have a widebody with a silvertop, yes, superfun talaga yung makina ratratin, pero there are small quirks.

1)hirap humanap ng unit na ayos ang compressor
2)to get the best out of it, V-Power or Blaze. ramdam ang diperensya pag regular unleaded lang
3)in addition to #2, synthetic oils pa
4)you need to get better brakes. at the moment disks all around na yung corolla
5)from a 1.3 to a CAST IRON 1.6? hehe. magiging "lowered" ang auto mo ng di sinasadya, so you need to get stiffer shocks for it
6)basta. maarte talaga yung makina. it's best described that way. and I'm not doubting the installation worksmanship and the integrity of the engine block since si Atong yung nag-asikaso nung corolla

if the TS wants a hassle-free driving experience, he's better off with a car that's with a stock EFI motor.

just my opinion
