corolla big body better than the love life

[darkside_1975]

We have 2 corolla xe's used by my 2 teenaged boys for school, one is a 96 corolla xe bought it from a friend and it is still bone stock only the belts has been replaced and a 2001 lovelife xe and we already replaced the carb twice both were reconditioned surplus from kamuning. My question is considering the age of the lovelife 01 and the big body 96 is the former better built than the latter? thanks in advance

Kita na naman tayo dito

Anyway as I mentioned in your other thread our big body XE's original shocks are still alive after almost 200k mileage. After being stored in the garage for a few years unused it was top overhauled and the wirings were replaced. The clutch slave and master also got repair kits. Suspension is still orig.

We also got a love life GLi MT the year it came out. Replaced na ang shocks and bushings sa likod this year, PS system is leaking, rear bearings are dying and most of the engine gaskets need a replacement. All of the electricals still work though.

In our experience parang mas matibay nga ang big body compared to the love life.

oo nga bro hehe ps of my sons lovelife also leaked ni repair pero nasira din so we ended up in buyng a brandnew major part taiwan 7.5k and nagpalit narin kam ng valve seals kaya pina top overhaul ko na problema nalang is the carb 4.5k daw ang replacement taiwan hayysss mas maganda nga ang quality ng big body bro

Yung big body binenta namin sa secretary nila ermat. Very low price as a reward for 20+ years of service. Tuwang-tuwa.

Kapatid ko naman ang nagmana ng love life. Tumatawag sakin every now and then for repair advise. Natuto tuloy magrefill ng PS reservoir :hysterical:

[darkside_1975]

hehehe oo nga naalala ko sabi ng anak ko due for replacement narin daw ang shocks nya sabi ko hinay hinay lang carb muna unahin natin kaya tuloy pag uwi ko at papasok ng garage pag nakita ko sya na pasalubong di muna ako bumababa baka may bad news nanaman ay 6pm na pala time to go home mamaya uli bro hahaha

ako din, sali..

if your referring to XE/XL models of bigbody and lovelife, parehas lang sila ng 2e engine, 2e engine ng lovelife its still the 2e engine that runs the 2e bigbody.

but for the GLi variants, both have the same engine code 4AFE, pero meh konti silang difference, mas mataas ang compression ratio ng 4AFE ng lovelife,
thus creating a bit more power than 4AFEs of bigbody.

afaik ulit, both (bigbody and lovelife) share the same underchassis, kaya parts para sa dalawa is sobrang abundant. hehe.

My first car is a bigbody GLI 95 model, dont want to sell it away before, pero kasi ang garage slot alloted sakin is 1 lang, so kailangan idispatsa, miss that car.

PS leaks are common sa bigbody and lovelife models, yan ang weakpoint ng corolla of that generations. yan lang nga actually aalagaan mo dyan, the rest wala ka na halos proproblemahin.

Mas malaki ba talaga interior space ng big body? Or feeling lang namin ganun dahil XE lang ang big body kaya manipis ang sidings due to the manual windows.

Feel ko rin mas malaki. Nagkaron din ako bigbody before, tapos pag nasakay ako sa lovelife halata mo yung space difference.

Namimiss ko magka-AE. Gusto ko nga magkaron ulit eh, sayang....

[darkside_1975]

kaso parang mas matibay ang mga kinabit sa big body like the carb and shocks di pa napapalitan di gaya ng lovelife namin 2 times nang napalitan ang carb at nagpapahwatig narin ang shocks nya di kaya galing japan ang nasa small and big body tapos sa ibang bansa naman like thailand ang mga pyesa sa lovelife?

Hi sir ask ko lang din kasi XE 1993 din ako at ang problema ko ang power steering ko..

before may tagas ang hydraulic hose kaya lagi ako nag rerefill ng fluid. lately tumigas ang manibela pag umaandar ang aircon, kaya pag naka park at mag mama niobra ako, pina patay ko ang aircon kase matigas manibela.

ginawa ko pinapalitan ko ng hydraulic hose pero ganun pa rin matigas pa rin pag umaandar ang aircon, ano kaya problema nito?

ano next ko na ipapagawa at magkano gagastusin ko?

thanks.

Gandang ganda ako sa Big body na EUDM look. napaka swabe ng dating.

[cpsolt]

^true that. it never goes out of style.

at first glance. parang mas makapal ang lata ng big body compared sa small body. pero mas durable pa rin ang body metal ng small body.

I bought a Corolla XE bigbody in 1997, brand new, wala ako naging problema sa gamit at maintenance, naaksidente lang noon 2000 kaya napilitan ako sell, sayang nga! In 2010, I bought a 1996 GLi automatic tranny, top of the line, company car, executive ang user kaya maayos ang maintenance, got it at a bargain price from a friend. Paint works lang need, naayos ko na halos lahat ang mga dapat ayusin, suspension, shock absorbers, power steering hose leak, drain and fill auto transmission fluid, power windows, etc. Ngayon, naubos na yata ang mga dapat gawin, mga minor modifications naman sa engine. Ang dami mo maiisip na gawin sa bigbody at hindi ka maubusan ng parts, widely available sa mga auto shops, low priced pa. Kaya ito ulit ang binili ko, magaan maintain talaga.
