Toyota Corolla 1993

 Review of the car owner Toyota Corolla 1993

Hello dear Japanese car lovers. I would like to tell you about the history of owning the now former 1993 Toyota Corolla.

Part one "Acquaintance"

Back in 2001, a miracle was purchased by the VAZ 2121 "Niva" 1988 onwards. in a somewhat crumpled state, the engine showed a "brotherly fist" well, and naturally kotsak dents in automotive body are not measured. In general, they drove in for repairs on an acquaintance, they did it themselves with an older brother. Corolla was driven there, beaten in the ass and drowned in a local river. The owner of the service bought it for nothing, it was less than a year in the Russian Federation. In general, after sitting in such a beauty, although in a somewhat ushatan state at the age of 15, I realized the backwardness of our car industry.

Part two "Acquisition"

After the above events, 6 years have passed and I am selling my 08 VAZ product (the car is very convenient, but explosive and fragile) in 1991. in very good condition, but required constant care, although not when she did not get up tightly, they again offered an acquaintance for a cheap exchange, (you will not believe) the 1993 Corolla by my surcharge. I naturally agreed and she became mine on March 14, 2008.

Part three "repair"

So what did the body get without rust, but broken in several places and poorly painted, the engine that underwent repair of the head, replacement of rings, knocking hodovka, torn anthers of both grenades, a slightly burned-out muffler, a salon with a dirty ceiling, burned-out seats, torn covers, on Russian winter tires. What was repaired: firstly, replacing the anthers of grenades, I want to note the simplicity of changing both the anthers and the grenades themselves, in contrast to the domestic one, where at 08 they changed for 3 hours on the Corolla, it was usually controlled in 40 minutes, but I did not find normal ones that fit from the Niva, but in winter burst although all summer went normally. In general, I changed every year in the spring. Having dug up money in June, I went and bought Kayaba struts, the steering tips were new flight tires and everything was installed for free for the camber of the convergence of both axles, they took 700 rubles. And it all took 10500 also bought anthers for the rear struts, changed houses in the garage. A couple of month Toyota Corolla 1993 s later, floor mats and new covers were bought (the old ones were taken off as bought they looked pathetic). A simple alarm system and tinting of the rear hemisphere were also installed. In February, the parking brake light came on, for a long time I could not understand what was the matter, until in April I changed the front pads, the light went out right there, although there are no sensors there ??? In 2009, Kayaba also changed the rear pillars. The winter of 2009 -2010 turned out to be extremely harsh, the biggest thing that I saw on the -48 thermometer, but the car had to be operated several times in such frosts.

lowered the wheels from such frosts. I let it down only once in the morning I went into the garage and it was -15 the key to start, but it did not start and the starter barely twisted, I connected the charging zero effect and the volt meter showed 10.5 volts, i.e. the battery broke through, a new car was bought and started up. More than 2.5 years of ownership, the car did not cause trouble.

Part four "exploitation"

In 2.5 years, 45 thousand kilometers have been covered. Basically, on the asphalt, it is worth noting the road is daring, but it is not comfortable to drive more than 100 km / h (although it clocked up to 180), because. the mechanics and the motor approach 3000 rpm, but it is pleasant to drive along mountains and winding roads with frequent descents and ascents, as it is even addictive, but it happens that the rear axle was carried away and went into a skid. Landing for me a little small space (height 186 weight 135 kg) but my wife was always comfortable in front and back.

Summarizing all of the above, I want to say it's a pity that such hardy, simple, comfortable cars are no longer produced. Carolla 100 body I think is a car with a soul.

10500 and it is like new)

I completely agree! Sorry !!!!! 5!

The handbrake sensor lights up when the brake level drops.
