How does oppo feel about a 4AGE silvertop swap into an old corolla?

Get an aw11 and do a silver top swap. Much more worthwhile

Can’t. Need the extra doors and interior space.

I say the Corolla doesn’t deserve it.

As awesome as it is, I meant an early 2000s one.

But Japanese corollas already have it...

There’s nothing wrong with that :)

Toyota gave up on having a hot export Corolla a loooong time ago.

Well just because Toyota gave up DOESN’T MEAN I HAVE TO!

Uh, can’t you get an old Corolla with the old 4A motor? I thought they hung around for a long time, Wiki says until 2002.

Otherwise, dunno. The newer engines have VVTi, more power and better fuel economy. If, of course, harder to work on, more computerized, and less reliable. So I guess it depends which tradeoff you would prefer.

4AGE 2000 Corolla with suspension mods... That could be fun. Even with the stock 1zz-fe, a 5-speed corolla of that vintage can be surprisingly entertaining... At least at 8-10ths or below... Ah, who am I kidding, the engine was the best part of that car.

/used to own a 2000 5-speed CE.

I know the 1/2ZZ mounts are similar with the 4AGE mounts, but it wouldn’t be worthwhile as a 2ZZ (180 hp/130 torques). The early 2000s Corolla went all the way t0 2006, and came in a rare form with the 2ZZ motor, abeit in detuned form at 170 ish HP. And they weigh a bit too much at 2800. Get a Early 90s corolla that weighs at 2000 lb. Stuff 2zz. HOLY SHIT LIFT

You must have missed the ‘old corolla’ part. Mine doesn’t have any version of the ZZ.
