1986 toyota corolla gts coupe
i owned it for 3 years this past christmas.
a little over a month ago i blew up the newly installed and barely driven turbo’d GZE and since don’t have the drive
to fix it. i have found myself in a bad place with this car. i don’t want to get into fixing it and i just want
something new. with that said, i am puting this car for sale as BEST OFFER and if i get a good offer i will sell.
also, this car is going to go with a lot of extra’s from rims and tires to random parts and a full 4AGE with tranny
(the old motor) and full engine wiring harness.
if i sell i want it all gone.

the bad:
engine knocks (not at idle but starts to knock at around 1800- 2000rpms.)
the story goes like this. after finishing the engine install and literally taking the car around the block and then immediately loading it onto my trailer to drive south 5 hours into Michigan to go to a drift event, everything seemed to work like it was supposed to. boost was coming on quick and peeking at 8 psi, waste gate was opening and scaring young children. at the event. i was just out there to have fun and ran the course 3 or 4 times and at the end of my last run i wanted to kill the rest of my already used and torched rear tires so i did about 6 doughnuts around the last cone, shifted to second and headed down the rear strait towards the exit sideways tagging the rev limiter and as i let off the gas and pushed in the clutch my knock light started blinking red and orange lights at me. FUUUCKKK!!!
i let the car coast to the pit and pulled in behind my trailer. at idle everything seemed fine but as soon as i approach 1800 - 2000 rpm the knock is loud enough to hear outside the car and the knock light goes all haywire. i let the car cool down before turning it off and came back about 30 mins later only to get the same result so i pulled it onto the trailer and watched for the rest of the afternoon.so there she sat in my driveway for the past month and some. i don’t have the patience to fix it. i can’t even look at it. i am far too stressed out to continue worring about it and i want to drive something this summer.
i’m not forced to sell for any reason, just looking for a change.
you could either swap in the old motor and part out the GZE or sell the old 4AGE and rebuild the GZE.
the car is solid and just needs some TLC under the hood.
