dont get a starfire corona what ever you do, there model code is an xt130, steer right away from them
hey guys, i am looking at getting a corona for a cheap daily run around car, but i know nothing about them and cant find info on them,
there seems to be alot of models the same shape but different codes and lights (and other minor stuff)
The ones im lookin at are auto (seem to be all autos which i dont mind for a daily)
So any way does anyone have info or a site (i searched with no luck) like a forum like this for them or something.
I want to know if there are any particularly good models with better susp or motor or something like 4ac v 4k with ke's for example, so i dont buy a shit version of them.
Thanks for any help guys!!!!!!!!!

mmm, despite what some say, xt130's can be reliable. mine surived literally over 400 key bangers in a week, and a good month of thrashing.
but yes i would not buy one, it was given to me.
ST142...? (may be RT), last of the coronas. came with a 22R-E 2.4L EFI, if you get the avante model you get T series disc brake rear end. rack and pinion steering, optional power steering. cruise was optional. ST142's had a bootlid which was on a slight slant, which helps avoid boot rust, which coronas are notorious for, not to mention rust in almost every other panel.
Actually not a bad car. but all the boonged ones with drivers that are fresh off the boat give them bad rep.

You can have any brew you want... as long as it's a Datsun / Corolla / What is that?
so the 2L ones are crap then??????
theres a guy on here with a corona with the 22R-E, the 22R is a pretty nice engine, my dad has one in his ute, seems to go pretty nice, and corona has gota be lighter than a dual cab ute
In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don't.

yeah 22r seem pretty good, so are the 2L donks no good aye????
are st141's any good???
it's like comparing a l18 to a l20
the st's come with 2lts which like to rev and have a dencent amount of power/torque were as the rt's which is a 2.4 it's good but hates anything above 4krpm and is a torque mechine
rt's and st's are the same bar a few little things st's have the 2s and rt's have the 22r some SOME! rt's avantes JDM YO had irs'ed f series rear ends and rear disc's
the poo poo cheap skake models had the singal head light which looks the ghay some had the full feature rear lights like mine and some had the flat cheasted ones with the 2 black lines threw them
with the good models aka inbuilt high beam head lights they came with to diffrent types of grills one like mine the "mesh" type and the rarer speed fluts looking one
later model ones came out with big arsed bumpers which are massive kinda like U.S spec
rt's came with w5x's st's came with borgies some say there crap some say there the kuda old skool rotary nuts run them behind 12a's i think so yeh
they are the same chassis's just diffrent diff/tranny/engine combos
ah i think thats abooot it oh and befor yous ask YES THEY ARE RWD
double post sorry
ok ill look at some st141's tomoz
cant decide between auto and manual, cos i have a shit of a drive to work everyday so auto would be nice but i do like manuals
thanks for all your advice too people appreciate it!!!
