I have an AE111 Levin, it was my first car and since then 3 years ago I smile every day that I drive it. Such a nice car, both for daily driving and for mountain passes, it just eats corners. It's a blast to drive and i would buy it again. Here in Peru its quite a popular car for begginers in motorsports like rally or circuit races.
Recently acquired an AE111 Trueno with a 4A-FE. It's surely not as powerful as the BZ-G or the BZ-R but it still is a joy to drive. The 111 really seems as the forgotten child of the Trueno/Levin line.

Great review. I am EK9 owner but as daily i drive a starlet ep90 4A-FE. Amazing midrange of 4A engines, smooth powerdelivery, reliable, very useful cars with some sports soul in there. Heel n toe sound on Toyota 4A engines is special ;)
If you can, you probably can try to do a history and review on the 4AGZE. Slightly less popular 4AGE engine nowadays. Who knows, you might be lucky enough to find a 4AGZTE (4AGE equipped with the HKS Twincharging upgrade or equivalent to it) equipped Levin / Trueno . That would probably a blast for you to drive and also for the viewers.

Corolla is not a Spanish word. It means "small garland" in Latin. Toyota named it after this because of the Toyota Crown, which was the flagship model at the time.
Hello I am from Ireland my one was stolen loved it it was white and had lovely advan rims on her and she was the proper blacktop 20v pity the locks were rubbish and i hadn't fitted an aftermarket lock on her
Minus the Initial D / Drift tax on the AE86. I will def get the AE86 Liftback and Coupe to pay homage to Initial D. The AE111 will be a great track car if you do tons of upgrades to the 4A-GE 20V Blacktop. But given that the 4A-GE engine is really old now. Parts for the engine is getting a lot more expensive and it prob not worth the time and money to upgrade. the Toyota 3S-GE Beams engine swap will be the more modern engine swap for the AE86 and the AE111
Yea, the 3S-GE Beams is basically the equivalent of doing a K20 swap into a CRX or Civic coupe. It makes a little over 200hp at the crank and a nice amount of torque. A good swap if you really want your Corolla to be competitive, especially the 86 being how light it is.
There’s one car that’s hardly ever reviewed, the rarest of the JDM machines that uses the 20v black top 4age the 1999-2001 AT210 Toyota Carina GT, came with short throw shifter, lsd six speed box, please review this hidden gem, I’m a proud owner of one of these underrated gems.. (p.s the left rear trailing arm adjuster knuckle or barrel lock nut is loose.. )
Restyle version AE111 awesome looking coupe. The main issue with the car is a superstrut suspension, it a little bit heavy for ae111 chassis, and it is complicated to find parts for maintaining and repair due to Toyota doesn't manufacture cars with superstrut.
The superstruts on my gt4 Celica st205 cost me and arm and a leg to replace. I’d love to import an ae111 but the risk to source parts not available are too great 🙁
Honestly I would actually buy the 111. That car looks really good and its fine that it's FWD. I'm really surprised this car isn't more popular! No wonder I've never heard of this model (or the 101). I would totally buy that car as my first car if I had the chance. Seems really fun to drive and work on.
Me neither, but it's like this. 5S is the 2.2 of the 3S for example. 5m is 2.8, 7m 3.0 And the have been in production next to each other so it's not a different generation
I remember seeing a TRD 280kph cluster for this and a video on RUclips of it actually making it pass 250kph. Amazing machine. Gotta love those rimless doors.
This video... The jaw opening views, cicadas' making their iconic call, amazing cars casually cruising by is just like a dream. I want to visit one day.
I might have one of the first AE111s in The States. I have completely fallen in love with this car. I live in a rural area and cutting those winding mountain roads in the thing is just incredible.
Dude, I had no idea this existed, I just thought that after the 86, it just kinda ended. Edit: you can barely find these things dude wth, what should I search? Edit 2: I found one, in very clean state, for 8000 euros
They where never built lhd so I rare in Europe. There's quite a few in Ireland. But otherwise yeah they are pretty common in nz and Australia. There are a lot of the nana spec ones anyway. I had one for my first car, equiped with a 5afe.

The AE111 will be a great track car if you do tons of upgrades to the 4A-GE 20V Blacktop.
But given that the 4A-GE engine is really old now. Parts for the engine is getting a lot more expensive and it prob not worth the time and money to upgrade.
the Toyota 3S-GE Beams engine swap will be the more modern engine swap for the AE86 and the AE111
Yea, the 3S-GE Beams is basically the equivalent of doing a K20 swap into a CRX or Civic coupe. It makes a little over 200hp at the crank and a nice amount of torque. A good swap if you really want your Corolla to be competitive, especially the 86 being how light it is.
Hey again, lol
Even without the Initial D bias I guess I'd still pick the AE86. 80's styling + pop-up headlights + RWD = cool
Same
Please do make a review about the 4-door AE111 & AE101. Thank you!

This video came out 2 days after I bought my AE111. Such a fantastic car to drive.
I remember driving this in GT5, and woah it sounds much better irl
There’s one car that’s hardly ever reviewed, the rarest of the JDM machines that uses the 20v black top 4age the 1999-2001 AT210 Toyota Carina GT, came with short throw shifter, lsd six speed box, please review this hidden gem, I’m a proud owner of one of these underrated gems.. (p.s the left rear trailing arm adjuster knuckle or barrel lock nut is loose.. )
Restyle version AE111 awesome looking coupe. The main issue with the car is a superstrut suspension, it a little bit heavy for ae111 chassis, and it is complicated to find parts for maintaining and repair due to Toyota doesn't manufacture cars with superstrut.
The superstruts on my gt4 Celica st205 cost me and arm and a leg to replace. I’d love to import an ae111 but the risk to source parts not available are too great 🙁
@@superthierry1 You can buy low trim with macpherson suspension.
Honestly I would actually buy the 111. That car looks really good and its fine that it's FWD. I'm really surprised this car isn't more popular! No wonder I've never heard of this model (or the 101). I would totally buy that car as my first car if I had the chance. Seems really fun to drive and work on.
17:08 Also, I thought the first number shows the generation of the engine block. So 4A, shows that it's the 4th iteration of the A series engine.
Not really, it's more an indication of the engine size.
7A is for example a 1.8
kefkeuh I don’t see the correlation
Me neither, but it's like this.
5S is the 2.2 of the 3S for example.
5m is 2.8, 7m 3.0
And the have been in production next to each other so it's not a different generation
I truly appreciate that you reviewed these legends, especially because I can understand everything you are saying.
Love the videos, very informative. This car is definitely a hidden gem. 💎
I remember seeing a TRD 280kph cluster for this and a video on RUclips of it actually making it pass 250kph. Amazing machine. Gotta love those rimless doors.
Wish for the next video doing the interview with Tsuchiya-San himself
This video... The jaw opening views, cicadas' making their iconic call, amazing cars casually cruising by is just like a dream. I want to visit one day.
Would love to see the 4 door ae111 GT
I might have one of the first AE111s in The States. I have completely fallen in love with this car. I live in a rural area and cutting those winding mountain roads in the thing is just incredible.
wtf I didnt notice this was uploaded like 1 second ago
Finally someone featured an E111! And damn i really wanted that catalog and hyper rev one, have been looking for 5 years with no result..
Damn! 1:58
Japonic: Oh my God!
Meeennnn...
This part was awesome 😂
2:32 man that shot is beautiful for the panda and L11 with the bright white clouds
On this channel 45min video feels too short its so interesting
I would listen to him speak for hours. Captain has a soothing voice. Need to do a story time.
i love levin
I currently have an AE101 Levin, the 4age 20v is amazing!
And a boosted 20v building 600+ hp in the levin it’s like a 4 cylinder 2jz
i owned the sedan version of the ae111 as my very first car. 4age 20v was so awesome.
The owner of the Levin is kinda cute *blush
Don't tell me that...
you want his Initial D?!
@@moisesezequielgutierrez
Mate...
That joke got me groaning.
James Mijares groaning in cliché
bruh
lol how funny was that at 22:40 when he moved the throttle body, a bike was starting up !
sounded like the engine was being turned on !
That was awsome! Btw would really like to see a Mitsubishi GTO Review!
The AE111 is loved in my country. The engine is regularly tuned to get speeds of around 270/280km/h. I always loved the BZ-R.
4:31 Camera Man Happy! Whoops my bad 2:29 is were camera man in In a Tofu state of mind. Another edit
one of the best car jdm channels if NOT THE BEST
"INERTIA DRIFT?!?!"
all my intial D fans.
Omg my car is going to raise in price because of you. Thank you
I'm actually first.
To a video on a couple of my favourite cars too!
glad you covered this car, its not usually talked about since the ae86 overshadows it constantly
Dude, I had no idea this existed, I just thought that after the 86, it just kinda ended.
Edit: you can barely find these things dude wth, what should I search?
Edit 2: I found one, in very clean state, for 8000 euros
Where?
Lots here in New zealand
They where never built lhd so I rare in Europe. There's quite a few in Ireland. But otherwise yeah they are pretty common in nz and Australia. There are a lot of the nana spec ones anyway. I had one for my first car, equiped with a 5afe.
Ireland I bet
