About the FX
The Toyota Corolla FX GT (AE92) is a fully imported Japanese model. It differs from the Australian AE92 Corollas because it's a 2 door body.
Toyota only released the AE92 in Australia in 5 door models: The hatch-back, and (the larger) SECA shapes, in 1989 to 1992. During that time, the only AE92's with the 4A-GE engine, were the 5 door SX (1989-1991) and GTi model in 1992.
I purchased this car in April 2000. It had been running competively in WA for a number of years.

The 4A-GE engines feature:
  • 1.6 Litre (1587cc)
  • Double Over Head Camshafts (DOHC/Twin-Cam)
  • 16 Valves
  • EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection)
  • Early version (86KW): TVIS (Toyota Variable Induction System)

This car was privately imported from Japan, and licenced here under the Race/Rally (Class 'B') rego, which means it can only be used to rally or race, and only driven on the road to and from rallies, workshops, promotional events, and practice.

This FX-GT originally came with the older 86KW motor, with T-VIS. In October 2001, the RallyFX team completed a conversion to the later model Japanese spec FX-GT 100KW motor, that I aquired from Japan through the guys at
Just Toyota Wrecking.
For a standard engine it's awesome, with the factory headers, custom RaceFlo secondaries and 2.25 inch mandrel-bent exhaust, when driving and changing gears at the redline (7800RPM) this car spits flames out the exhaust!
