    Nice explenation about the G6R !!
    Yes the best way this car was with a 20v blacktop had it for 2 years and it was fun but not fast enought for me so that burnout was with a 3sgte with 279 hp
    Had it for 12 years and its a fun chassis

    Have it for 24 years, and powered with the 20v black top and the c160 trans. Such a great car with great suspension system. You can enjoy an aggressive ride with twisty turns.

      Amazing, congrats on a lovely 20v build. The C160 is a lovely ratio gearbox. I put one into my E11 vvti years ago. Your 20v build is how this car should have come from the showroom. 158hp is perfect for a hatchback like this. Are you based in the UK?

      I remember when these cars were new. Everyone was so excited about the 6 speed gearbox.
      I had a 1.4vvti with a 6 speed gearbox. The ratios were:
      1st: 2.929 2nd: 2.176 3rd: 1.700 4th: 1.364 5th: 1.167 6th: 0.916 Final: 4.550

    So, wrong about unique features ! Front lip and honeycomb grill are on ALL G6 versions ! G6R are ONLY aluminium hood, side skirt and red belts for unique features. Nothing else !
    Oh, and not sport springs TTE.. standard suspensions.
    The sport springs TTE are only put from Factory on the G6S TTE version and G6 TTE-edition version. ;)

    • @HobTecCars
      @HobTecCars  8 месяцев назад +4

      It's hard to keep everyone happy. There are so many E11 variations across the Europe. In the UK the 1.3 G6 didn't come with with the enhanced lip. Only this small one.
      i.redd.it/munprrk4mks61.jpg
      But you are right that some 1.6 G6 came with what we call a "G6R lip". But in the interests of not boring everyone to death I trimmed the details. 😂
      You are correct about the honeycomb grill. It's just the G6R badge, again didn't want to bore the poor audience to death.
      There is ambiguity about the TTE springs. Some blogs and brochures claim them. Others say they are a 15mm and 20mm Spring from an AE111 Levin. I'd love to see the part numbers to understand the FULL truth.

      ​@SashaEremit The Corolla G6S by TTE was tuned by Toyota Team Europe. It was only available in Germany, and featured a TTE bumper, roof spoiler, exhaust, rims, and badge. The only source I saw online was that only 250 Corolla G6S by TTE were ever made. That makes it a very rare and special car.

      G6S was not built by TTE in Cologne it was developed there.
      There were two different TTE Workshops back in the Day in Cologne.
      One for the Road Cars an the one for Motorsport.
      The G6S Corolla are normal G6 Corollas with the TTE Stuff on it.
