I'm looking at few late-70s Corollas right now. Does anyone know of good forums / articles related to these cars? I need to go to school...

how late? been a while but if its a tc(2tc,3tc..) series (its the engine code) then you shouldent have a problem finding forums for it just google the engine code. if i remember right you might find some info on club4age.com if its still up. i was a hardcore corolla guy untill i got my turbo supra. but knowing the year and engine would help. just posting a pick of your engine wont help much but i wouldent mind seeing it,the 2tc and 3tc look the same from the out side its there inner deminsions that change. 2tc is a 1.6 and the 3tc is a 1.8. if its old enough it could even have a 1.2 if i remember right but you can tell for sure on that one cuase its mad small on the out side compared to the other two. iv only seen two of them in my life time.

I'm looking at a 76 and a couple 77s. I found two forums, but it looks like they both stopped being active in '05/'06. They are both 1.8 litres, I believe.

I'm looking at restored cars to use as a DD, finding out how reliable they are when kept up, etc.

Thanks for the info!
