I love the weird stuff.
What’s the weirdest build you’ve ever seen?!
Finally the wait was worth it and I finally get to see my friends car in the channel
I know an old dude with an fx with a boosted celica swap
Have a friend that has two, and one is for sale
I'm building a 5 cylinder delta hpe shitbox, will be something similar to this but italian lol
@@mscd9676 I like ur plan seems fun u got an insta?
Having met Richard in person and seen his car at my local cars and coffee, this thing is truly a work of art and something else. A real gem of a car, and an amazing and funny guy himself
It’s a true work of art
We need more cars like this in forza, gran turismo, grand theft auto, need for speed etc.
love those low power cups
Facts
We also need better feeling physics for these types of cars. I promise I can take a turn at 20mph without understearing, but Forza doesn’t think so
The only game i seen it in is TXR3
Play grand turismo 1and 2.
The owner of this FX is a friend of mine and a well known face in the Massachusetts/New England Car community. This thing really did go through a wild transformation. So cool to see him blow up like this
Much love bro
@@trdorbrokejpn903 thank you for recognizing the corollas bro
@@Legend-lc9bv Best believe that, Been into since i was a kid 💕
I'm from rhode island, hope to see this car in person one day
@@The96civicrider almost any Import Face Off or Broke East meets it’ll probably be there
Hopefully this doesn't ruin the value of these. I can hear Doug demuro saying "THIS" already 🤦🏾😂
There's already only like 5 cool cars left for cheap, the cheap fun car market is already dead, at least in North America it is
These are way too uncommon for the market for them to be anything but incredibly niche and subject to random BS for niche cars, sadly.
What value? It's a $700 car.
@@godchi1dvonsteuben770 where is it a 700$ car?!? Certainly not in Canada, all cars older than 1990 by now are considered collectables here and everything is like 5k, even shit like neon rt's are coming up on 5000$ here, I'm sure in the UK and Asia They're still cheap tho
I emailed Doug to review my FX back when he still lived in PA. He acknowledged my email but put it on the back burner
Richard came to my Father's funeral back in August where he let me drive this car.
David speaks the truth! This car is very well sorted and is so damn tossable. Richard did a great job with this thing.
6:50 A way to kinda fix oil starvation on those is to use a 20v oil pump and there’s a few aftermarket oil pan options that have nice baffling
The Latino Community absolutely loves Corollas. If you go into an all Puerto Rican neighborhood, you will see all makes and models Carolla's, from all eras, worked and tuned beautifully.
Yup I’m Puerto Rican n I’m so mad that I sold my 1981 Corolla 1.8 notchback. I had 4 of them n wish I’d a kept all of them.
On the “fast” note,my son has a R32 Skyline. To be honest,it’s not really that fast. It makes all the cool noises and looks AWESOME but his Fiesta ST has WAY more power and is a lot faster than the R32. That being said,the R32 is a ton more fun to drive and breaks necks everywhere he goes! Love what you are doing! Keep up the great content! Peace
Yup! 100%! He was a bit disappointed with the performance until I pointed out the unique driving experience that very few people are able to get.
The r32 has around 280hp stock
Thing is i heard with some minor upgrades it can make 600hp
@@caralho5237 You’re aware that they come with CA18‘s and RB20‘s, right?
@@user-rn7rr1yn6p his has the RB20
Actually the FX16 is already a cool car from the start
One of the few cool Corollas before the upcoming GR Corolla 😎
I love how it has that 80's JDM look. Cars like these look so cool.
It's definitely a look modern cars are starting to pay homage to in this neo retro trend.
A few years back I had an '87 Corolla FX (base model) as my daily. So base model it didn't even come with a radio or door speakers and rode on 155mm tires. That thing was absolutely unstoppable in the snow, despite how low it was to the ground it's lack of weight and tiny tires made it drive like an ice skate in snow. I miss that car.
Dope ride, do ya miss that little beast?
I had an 88 base FX. 0-40 was quick. One of the best cars I owned. Hated every minute of it. Many stories of just how damn good it was. It was like a 2 year Top Gear Hilux test. Still, great as that is, just not for me.
What would I do instead? Mazda 323 with a KLZE v6 swap. Same 80's styling, destroyer of all NA, or turbo, or ITB. Won't have premium pricing on anything, engine is lightweight, fits.
@AlphaReano Okay you say stock but... what if it were twin engined?
I’ve VERY FOND MEMORIES, on this Corolla! The end of the 90s and my life took a wanted turn and I needed to survive my divorced marriage, so a Corolla hatch was what was in the budget I had left… and it ran and ran for 2 more years! Today? After plenty of cars, up to a Merc CL600, I commute in a ATS Coupe… but this little fella had always a special place in my heart! Well presented TDB
FXGT or GT Corolla were super common when I was at highschool. Small cars that could take an absolute beating. Its a shame rust killed most of them in NZ
I had an fx16 gts in 1996 and use to destroy all my friends in it. It met it's demise by being stolen. I loved that big roller-skate. 7.5k redline was ballz
This thing is beautiful! More reviews of lesser known cars please
Currently building my 4th FX16 since my first car in 1988. I love my 20 valve AW11, but given recent prices and condition risks, I would only buy a 20v I could inspect and compression test myself. I also think a heavier engine like the 3SGTE would upset the fun, tossable nature of the FX. Stock 4AGE is great fun in this little chassis. Endurance racing these engines since 2007 and I say the oil starvation issue is a myth. If I needed more fun than 4AGE I'd look to the similarly light 2zz with much better torque and 180 HP.
Damn drove 1000 miles back and forth with a 35 year old 4age that’s modded with no issues? This man has balls.
Driven to florida 5 times in her
Those engines are tanks if you just don't try to mod them. Daily drive for 200000 miles. NP. Endurance race 900 miles in a weekend. NP.
@@trdorbrokejpn903 that’s nuts dude, mad props to you. Sick rolla
its a toyota 1000 miles is no big deal. if you want nightmares try 200 miles in a chevy lol
Put over 1500 miles on my MK1 MR2 going to JCCS in October. The 4AGE even modded is extremely reliable.
This car is cool! Nothing crazy about it, just a nice, simple, tidy Corolla that looks fantastic. Sometimes less is more.
I try to convince my wife of the same thing all the time.
I’ve got an ae92 gts, basically the same car but in a coupe and pop ups and these cars are exceptionally fun. Weight nothing and these 4ages love to be abused. Awesome car and awesome review
Gotta watch the sushpants RUclips channel. That guy has one of the nicest fx16s I’ve ever seen
Gotta put the 4age 20v silvertop or blacktop in it
Here in the Caribbean there's alot of 20v
And 2zz
And 2zz and 3s
Not alot of the 16v
David I'm restoring a Pontiac g5 and supercharging it. Seeing this video and what this owner went through to restore his car is very cool to me. Keeps me motivated with my project. Keep up the great videos brother.
Are you going 3800 Series II?
I have an '87 FX16 that is caged and prepped for SCCA racing. I'm absolutely in love with it, glad to see the platform get some attention!
My cousin had one of these. White stock with dual flow master 40 series piped in front of rear tires. Took really good care of it. Won many of car shows It was such a fun car to drive and they look so cool. I wish he still had it. Slow or not people always looked at it.
I absolutely love this review. It made me learn the aspects of this car. My uncle has one and he is the original owner of the FX16 and it's literally immaculate.
saw this car on my street. never saw one before but its really cool its featured in this video. small world
Well the rear of the aw11 suspension was literally the front suspension of a Corolla but reversed, I'm guessing that's way it works on this chassis.
Pretty much, Toyota was much more willing to do parts bin cars with different chassis.
when I was in highschool (2nd half of the 90s) these things were _super_ in-demand
This was my second car after my awesome first car of an 89 Mazda rx7. Mine was white with the black bumpers and side skirts. Mine wasn’t as clean on the inside but the body was super clean. Crazy thing is that I live in Massachusetts too!
David your videos never disappoint, and always show me new things. Respek
I appreciate that so much!
@@ThatDudeinBlue you're most welcome, and what a cracking little car! Love the sharp boxy lines
The fx16 is dope already though with it’s boxy yet slim and small figure. I can’t call this proof when it’s a car I’ve always thought is cool looking. If you can make a Pontiac Aztec cool then that’ll be PROOF
I love the old unappreciated car reviews! This was awesome!
Funny thing is my first gen CR-V has been the most fun project car I’ve ever had. Love my old Honda performance cars but something about restoring a car that was left for dead in a driveway by previous the owner spoke to me. 3,000 later and she’s a nice cruiser.
I love the first Gen CR-V! I was hunting for one 2 years ago but came across a 2nd Gen with 5 speed manual and AWD for the same price point so I had to pull the trigger on it. Maybe in the future it will be a parts car to k24 AWD swap a first gen 🤷🏾♂️
@@kevinruger8819 they are still out there. Miss my 98 civic coupe but CR-V definitely fun. I almost got a second gen but i waited and found a 01. I saved it from being scrapped.
i actually own an fx16. It is beyond fun I drove it to work today!
Need to see you drive a 20v car! or more 4age powered cars from the '80s. AW11 is a great car for this!
a nice blacktop with techno toy trumpets...sound like magic
Love seeing a car that I see in person all the time in Boston pop up on the channel
So proud of you Richard, been watching you build this car for a year and a half on Facebook and its so good seeing this amazing car get the recognition it deserves. Proud of you man!
Sir of course you can mod any car!
Plastidip is a build! (Sarcasm)
But that Toyota is pretty sweet. Love some odd weird cars.
This is such a cool vid to see, I own a the 85 fx-gt model and it’s so cool seeing these get a bit more recognition! Such a good little project car and I want mine to be a clean oem/oem+ build like this one :)
I love that the owner is from my home state ☺❤ Also love the emphasis on the Corolla being a universal car.
“ Proof you can modify any car!”
This Corolla is well known in the Toyota community. Why is this treated as if nobody ever modified one of these before?
They don’t have much of an aftermarket cause most of the suspension gets swapped from standard fwd stuff. There is some but not a lot. There’s better chassis to modify out there too. I personally own one and while you can take parts off a lot of cars. It does require a lot of modification to make it work
Because most people only understand super hyped Toyotas
Because the US rarely got fun rollas but they make these a hidden gem so people like me can afford a badass rare build
@@bryan10444 only cool Corollas we didn’t get were the 90s Truenos/Levins and that’s the main reason why people think the AE86 was a one off model and even a model name. Lmao
@@MaddNomad1015 I agree. They other Corollas are great. People just like to cry about how good the 86 is
My Uncle bought this Corolla FX16 brand new back in the late 80's...I still remember it!
man I love this old boxy Japanese cars, it's like the Honda Civic EF, man, those cars are beautiful, Ive have a sedan and a hatch, they're just timeless for me
THIS IS MY BOY RICHARD'S CAR YOOO
FX 16 was my first car in high school in the 90s. I’ve actually met Richard before cool cat I am currently working on a FX GTS project as we speak. Very hard parts to find unfortunately today as the model was only made for 2 years
HAHAH how you been my man?? Hows your fx and business?
Usually if your the first one to do something, its not because no one thought of it- its because its a bad idea and they decided against it. Not here.. this guy was definitely onto something.
I’ve got a 1983 civic and something this good is what my ultimate goal for her is. So inspiring to see something this rad
Been waiting months to see this video! I remember when Richard drove down and I didn't believe him he was getting a that dude in blue review
I've always loved the FX16 GTS and I so wanted one back in the 80's. I was ready to buy one when I got wind about the 88 MR2 being supercharged that I waited and bout one of those. This FX16 still looks great today. I have the modern version of it in the 2017 Corolla iM 6MT hatchback. You can tell it's a newer version and I love that car. Modifying Corollas has always been a part of me. I have a 2009 Corolla S 5MT that I've turbocharged with 230bhp and done all kinds of work to the chassis and suspension while it goes like mySupercharged MR2 now, yes I still own one, a 1989 5MT. Even my 2017 Corolla iM has more power with 180bhp up from the 137bhp that is stock. I also like to keep much of the stock looks with subtle upgrades and put the money into the engine, chassis, and suspension. Keep modifying those Corollas! I love seeing them.
That Mooneyes sticker says it all.As strange as it sounds,2-door hatches chassis from the corolla line are really sought-after here over at south east asia for it's compatibility with the 4A-GE 20v,if you feel a little adventurous you could even shoehorn in a 4th Gen Redtop Beams from the late 90's Toyota performance platforms(Caldina,Celica,MR2 G-limited)making it equivalent to a K20A2.
So glad to finally see this video. Richard is an awesome guy, and his build is truly amazing and super unique!
I mean it shouldn't a surprise that it's something you can mod, this was Toyota's answer to the Civic Si hatch of the same era. Similar power, form, weight.
There's nothing quite like driving an old toyota. 80s-90s toyotas in good condition are my FAVORITE cars and trucks.
There's something amazing about driving a car that you can use 100% of the power all the time, honestly it's more fun than a 2000whp monster that will kill you just because you used 1oz too much throttle pressure lol
I graduated in 2000 and there were only a handful of car guys at the school. I had a buddy that had one of these that was highly modified... I absolutely loved that car.
My Mom bought a Black FX16 GT-S new in '85. That thing was a freakin rocket!
This with 200hp N/A would be a chef's kiss
There’s one of these local to me that does auto cross and will consistently put down similar times to camaros and mustangs
My dad had one of these when I was 5, and he had it modified. Still miss that car😢 he gave it to one of my relatives and it’s still in our family somewhere, so.. sometime when I can, I’ll bring it back
those old FX16s were super rad awesome cars
I bought an '88 as my first car for $1500. Had no idea what I had, just LOVED the car. All I have left of it is the key.
My friend boosted one of those FX16's. Was fun as hell to drive.
Honestly the mentality you have on this car is like the early 90s accords. Pretty light pretty low power under appreciated but if done right they can looks fantastic
no no that car is no joke, the FX16 is a real deal unmodified! that car is fast as F!
I used to drive one when they were new in real life in they are wicked...
I remember my brother use to daily a FX16 back when I was 8-9 years old. He really loves Toyota especially any Corolla. The car was white, completely gutted, roll caged, and short shifter For the 2 years he had it, He loved it and missed it when he sold it to this day. It’s great to see that others know it and love it. My brother use to joke that it’s the closes he’s getting to a Toyota Starlet 😂 I’ll love to drive one.
the FX16 looks sick imo
Having a ep82 starlet myself this was great to see! I need those wheels!
I'm old enough to remember when the Toyota Corolla FX was new. It's cool to see one that's been restored. Those old Japanese commuter cars from the 1980s and 90s especially more obscure models like the FX-16 have become cool time machines. They have a lot more character than the dreary appliance cars of today. Unfortunately many of those less desirable cars like the AE82 Corolla got driven into the ground and thrown away since they were considered disposable.
This video makes me miss my old Corolla e90 3-door which was also red. It had 4A-GZE and BC Racing BR coilovers. Went like a go kart at curvy roads.
That car is a beauty. I’d rate it like a straight up 9.5/10 for looks and sound. Love it
This is a really cool project, nice one to the builder
I got that car brand new in1988 .. my senior year in highschool lol!! I loved that car. I drove the hell out of that little car.
Having cut my automotive teeth in slow '80s s-boxes, this really hits me in the feels. Very cool.
Thanks again David. Can’t wait to try some car washing products
It's nice to see some old school builds without ridiculously high budgets. I had a coworker that had one and it was a fun little car.
Absolutely gorgeous!!! Would love an FX... I have an obsession with ae82 Series 1 sedans lol my 4ag is slowly dying, but just needs to last a little longer til the 4agze swap!!!
Reminds me, unsurprisingly, of my '85 Toyota Pickup I'm working on. Like all similar era Toyotas, a lot of small components are the same. Definitely saw some interior bits I'm familiar with in there
ive actually seen one of these corollas with the trueno ae86 front end swap actually looked pretty cool
AE82 are super rare these days. My uncle had one and I had no idea what it was until I got older.
Thank you Richard awesome ride bro
I've always wanted to do one of those Carollas. Someone down the street from me had one in mint condition, always made me jealous.
There's nothing like the good 70's,80's & 90's jdm times 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
What a cool little car. I have to agree with you David I love these kind of cars
Yo this is crazy I just ran into him in Boston see him all the time
if he can get hold of a jdm 20valve gearbox (4.3 fd) it would be more fun to drive
This is how I feel about my 2008 outback. Has NO business being good in the twisties but, she’s a BEAST after coilovers, updated/upgraded drivetrain bushings, whiteline rear sway bar etc.
I'm in a 4A-GE groupchat with the guy who owns this car, I have an FX too. My coworker actually told me about this video because everyone knows me as the FX girl 😂 just goes to show how small the ae82 community is!
How's your fx 😊
Love seeing any ae82 get love. In the process of gathering parts for a midengine conversion for my fx16.
Finally David give thanks for this video I've been waiting for years for some one to do a build like this it one of my favorite cars growing up as a kid saw one at a few races in my day
Met Richard at a car show. My friends Jeffery & Andrew showed me his Corolla. Thing was absolutely beautiful. wanted to get a pic of his Corolla next to my Red 1g eclipse 😭
Those pop out quarter windows are really cool and functional, i had an 87 Mazda with those and sunroof, 5 speed, sick lil go karts
I had one of these when they were new, (yes, I'm old 🤣). It wasn't fast by any means. It was just fast enough to drive a slow car fast. One of the most fun "squirt and shoot" cars I've ever owned.
True these are fairly cheap if you can find one, but they have been considered disposable so long they are much harder to find than the AE86 and AW11. Today on searchtempest I see only 1 FX16 and 1 (ridiculous price) FX, compared to 11 AW11s. Only 2 AE86 today but those come up far more often. In the US the FX was only sold in 87 and 88. The base FX model you are more likely to find has lesser engine, brakes, and suspension, and even lacks some of the chassis bracing that stiffens up the FX16 models.
A old Car buddy of mine is doing a Honda K24 swap into one of these now. He’s bout 80% Done. Back in my Highschool days another friend had one with a 4age 20 valve silvertop swap. They are actually my favorite Hatch back of all time only Second to the Mk2 VW GTi
Who says you can't ??? With the right amount of $$, the right fabricator, and the will, ANYTHING can be done.
Now the GR is coming out too and I’m so hype to get in one
If you can. It’s going to be a 37k range car and if the GR Yaris launch was any indication it’s going to be hard af to get one on release. Lmao
I'm in love, tastefully modified! I love the sound of that stock engine, BUT it could use the 20v blacktop engine in it, that would really bring it to life.
My 06 base model civic liked this video
shorter gearing, cams and some ITBs? Would be SICK! :)
