1986 Corolla XL 1.3

Recommended Posts

Selling my old Corolla if anyone is looking for a cheap run around, I have had it long enough and would like to buy something a little more respectable with four doors as a daily drive car.

It doesn’t look flash but is mechanically sound, starts on half a turn and idles well, pulls quite enthusiastically for a 1.3 also.

Cheers.

Hmm I have been thinking about getting a cheap daily..

Does it seriously have sports suspension?

It used to plough under steer and body roll to the point the massive 185’s would rub on the guards so I fitted some beefy springs to the front (now lowered just stiffer) and a thicker swaybar at the back and has good shocks all round. It s a lot more neutral when pushing it now, it moves along nicely on a back road believe it or not, has embarrassed a few people.

It’s no racer but is not stupidly slow, easy to live with 800kg/55kw, great for around town.

It’s not mint by any means, has a few shades of white on it.
