Hi all,
I have a standard Japan 1990 Toyota Corolla FX-GT (maybe GTS in the US),
3dr, manual with
the 96kw (130hp) 4A-GE. I am just wondering does anyone know the 0-60mph
time and the top speed of this hatch? Much appreciated.

How quick is the FX-GT?

Actually it was built in Freemont California at NUMMI plant, and if its
the FX-16 GT(S), it does have the 4AGE, or MR2 engine. I’ve only seen an
FX16 GTS, never an FX GT?

HA HA HA HA! The Corolla FX is a combine effort of Toyota and GM at their
Kentucky( i think) plant in the US. These we’re not produced abroad. The Gt is
just an optioned out version it has the same stuff as a regular FX with a few
"luxury"items. As for its 0-60 it would probably compare to a Tercel of that
era.
Hi
The Corolla FX-GT comes from Japan, where there is an entire range. 1300cc,
1500cc, 1600cc 4A-GE. The New Zealand equivalent is the Corolla GTi.

Sorry, just that the FX is considered a "GM heap of junk" here in WI. Also of
note however it has a 4ALC or 4AGELC engine in it produced in North America
from 9-86 to 8-88. Early MR2′s carried the 4AGELC( from 12-84 to 12-89).This I
would assume not mean that the FX would have the same stats as an MR2 on the
basis of the engine positioning, and weight.

I’m not sure where they get their info but the FX-GT is the domestic
name for the japanese. It also has a 4A-GEU not the 4A-GELC(4A-GELC is
only available in US and is rated at 112hp). I am also assuming that
since it’s a 90′s, it has no T-VIS and it’s rated at 130hp(narrow port
engine). I drove an 87 FX-GT while I lived in Japan. It was pretty
quick.Though I never got timed(1/4 mile) I know for a fact the cars are
lighter and more powerful in Japan(typical of japanese sporty cars). It
probably runs a mid to low 15′s in 1/4 mile.
