Here’s a great DIY ground-up build of a neat little JDM styled KE70 Corolla, complete with 4AGE power. I admire people who do ground-up builds at home without any major help from workshops. I’d love to do this one day to a 2-door USDM 510 shell, making everything clean and as-new from top to bottom.
Thanks to Sebatian for the submit.

whoa that’s an intense rebuild! love the paint…
quick ? .. what’s the difference between a ke70 and a te72? i’ve always known them as a te72 and searching just states engine and suspension differences. is that it?
I’m not too sure dude, hopefully one of our Toyota obsessed readers can chime in with an answer?
as you said, the only diferences are engine and suspension
Toyota uses this scheme for codenaming
first leter: engine type
second leter: chassis type
first number: car generation
second number: body type
with that you have: KE70, “K” toyota K engine, “E” is the letter for the corolla, “7” seventh generation, “0” sedan. And TE72, “T” toyota T engine, “E” corolla, “7” seventh gen, “2” also for sedan.
And also you decode the migthy AE86, “A” toyota A engine (4AGE), “E” corolla body, “8” eigth gen, “2” coupe body.
In fact Teddy’s car should be a AE70 😉
as they say, the *E7* is the grandfather of the AE86
Did you do the bolts that hold the wheels centres up to tension, or just did them ‘tight’?
Just curious as I wanna find out the proper tension when I pull my Professor’s apart 😀
not too sure Nick, you’ll have to follow the link and ask the owner 🙂
