wahh... dengz..... where u guys buy tyres la??? so cheap..... that day i change tyre for my gf's kelisa oso rm 140 per pc liao.... :(
LE got short and long lamp meh? i tot all the same? just that earlier LE's (AE80 and EE80) before the XL came have the smaller number plate light nia. XL baru got extended from the rear light. but still small...prefer the big piece JDM ones that make the boot look more 'complete'. from what i can see, pre-1985 JDM E80 uses the big black plastic piece number plate lights on the higher end saloon including the GT while afterthat, the 'terbalik' signal lights took over togather with the 'reflector' type number plate lights. lower end version like the DX have the 'empty' boot like our local E80's
and yea its the 175 standard tires. u take the ugliest LE also wont beat the uglyness of the taiwan sunny la. the sunny is ugly inside out so much that the top gear people blew one away with a jet engine.
the stock b11 is an extremely slow and noisy car also..the exhaust sounds damn annoying my spare car is a b310 datsun 120y...and i admit, its already a very ugly and boring car. the successor, 130y...is even worst :stupid:

for your info, toyota E80 series in msia came in 4 variants...
1st model was LE or 1.6 GL...the one that came with short corner lamp..
1984-1985, 1.6 GL came with rear antiroll bar standard, 60/40 fold seats n cloth door trim..this model kinda cool as its oredi registered ae82 cz came with standard 4A engine..if not mistaken..wahaha...normal LE models with 2A engine..known as ae80..came with plastik door trim,veryvery basic stuff..only RHS mirror..as far i know, most ppl that time prefer LE version as GL was few more thousand expensive n that time was slight recession..hehe..so consider yourself lucky if you got GL series..even ppl told me the GL series chasis stronger as it has a heavier n powerful 1.6 engine
...hehe...shortlamp also came in 12valve version in 1985..den late 1985, XL version came in for last year..before SE limited model launch....
for the 12v shortlamp, malaysia also have a limited model...hehe..
according to orgorg tua:rolleyes:, this model had ori rubber spoiler, 13 inch enkei rims with 60 series tyres, rare 12v stickers...hehe...
long lamp version for msia market was XL..had better door trims..like JDM version....dashboard like ae82gt series...n ya, the shorter black reflector...least seen on msia roads cz that production less than 1 year lidat..haha...(lazy to find pics n upload...)
actually i don't really like the JDM rear lights..rare item but i find it very dim at night cz housing only have 1 bulb..standard m'sia model have housing for 2 bulb..more brighter..somore LE de so old..wiring not very good low resistance de...

wah good info that u have found...let me add more.. i think the XL existed until mid 1987 from 1986.LE is from late 1983 till late 1985. according to orang tua from my house (my LE original owners :P), my LE is registered on 30 June 1984 bought at a price of rm24k otr. price in west shud be 1k cheaper.looking at my ancient 1985/1986 asian auto buyers guide book, the corolla 1.6GL costs rm24.8k. (the proton saga only costs rm17k back then)
i have a friend who has the 1.6GL from the first batches and another has the 12 valve shortlamp version. the 12valve doesn't have all the goodies u mentioned unfortunately.maybe removed already..another thing to note is the 12valve version has different front seats and door trim like the XL and 1.6GL ones.
btw earlier ae82gt having the same dash like the earlier LE also. only XL has a change of dash...shortlamp 12v still using the old style. diff only the heater switch style and aircond vents near the meters isnt?
hers a quick capture of my car and another LE...our first 2 numbers and last 2 are inverts of each other. both also KL xxxx Q
sorry for the bad quality...old fon bah.

.haha..ya, until mid 1987...mine was registered jan 1987...few days after christmas..haha...eventhough manuf in 1986..afaik, 12v shortlamp have cloth door trim..but still standard 8v dash...like you say, only XL model, den the dash change...the ac vent/switches bigger...ya.nostalgic..lastime LE cost RM24k...my parents bought their one for only 20k cz got staff price...den sold away in 1993 for 19k..not bad for resale value those days...hehe..
this is XL dash..actually my car...haha..
8v/12v shortlamp dash...hehe..forummer's car...
1.6 GL interior......headrest diff from normal LE..bigger...
XL model...

hurm..... i thought the 1st gen of LE are the AE80's.... those are the ones with short signal lamps and stock 2A 8v 1.3cc engines... not meh??? neway... my car is :p and its 1984 model...
haha..the 1.3 model is ae80.....the 1.6 model is ae82...haha..
if im not mistaken 1.6GL dash only got 1 tone dark brown. LE got 2 tone. the original owners told me that they get to choose what interior colour they want also. maroon/light brown or dark gray/light gray. later LE's got no choice liao. only dark brown available.
the interesting thing is..my neighbour used to have a LE...same exterior colour...but different interior colour..theirs is the gray tone...mine is the maroon tone. until today i still love the 2 tone dash...it cheers up the atmosphere inside the cabin
but sadly, LE seats are too plain and looks cheap. even the 1.6GL also. the seats on ur XL looks much more luxurious hor?

yup..forgotten that..the 2 tone or single tone was a rage cz can choose..haha...but my dad said took the cheapest model...cz that time financial economy wasn't that good in m'sia..dats why most ppl tool LE version...somore my dad told me those "barber" headrest seat dam uncomfortable after 10 years de...dats why 1 reason the LE was sold away..haha...like telling you time to change car..wahahaha..XL seats material wise abit more comfy but ya...still have a coconut husk and layer of sponge as prev owner tambah inside also..but find it sagging too...actually the only thing i like bout the seat is cz it fits the door lining cloth cz brown mah n the tilting headrest cz i quite tall..+ not enough cashcash to change to ae92 seats...hahahaha...actually the shortlamp version not bad also..esp some owner change the grill to the "C" grill...hehe..

yea i remember the previous seats. sit 15 minutes then ur ass strain already. so damn hard. my chairs are modified and reupholstered. the roof lining also changed. so now..my chairs are thick, 'high' and feels more spongy 
today i had an opportunity to drive a fren's stock ae111 (local 1.6SEG). apparantly, it has the similar feel to our LE. the steering rack got that infamous sound. the suspension setup is even more rough then LE. other than the smoother 4afe engine and power steering...i rather drive the LE...
ive also driven ee90 b4...ignore the of the looks of the cars. whether e80,90,100,110. i personally think the initial 'driving feel' of all the series are almost the same :hmmmm:
but yeah...80,90,100,110...i like all these corolla's. they are just the right car with the right size and feel to me.
