Umm.... maybe he's german. An aw15 is an aw11. aw15 just means it's not supercharged. aw16 means it is. No mki mr2 imported to the US had an lsd, 86 or otherwise. You can't put power steering on the mki, the steering rack isn't right for that, plus it would ruin the feel of the car. You don't need power steering on a mki anyway, it's not hard to turn.

 

I'll just post it to make it easier
From the mr2 wiki:

AW11 is the chasis code for any MKI; AW15 (NA) and AW16 (SC) are the start of the VIN. The original 1985 engine (a single carbeurettor 1500cc) is the AW10.

Chasis numbers are read:

A, S = denotes the engine series (4A-GE, 3S-GE, etc)
W = MR2
15, 16, 20, etc = specific model number

 

So I guess I'm technically an AW16.

So then technicall a MK1.5 would denote SW20 as well? or would it be SW1620? since I have a SC chassis?

 

It's still an AW15, since it left the factory as a 4AGE. Doing a powerplant swap doesn't change the chassis code.

The AW10's were never imported to the US (nor are they US-legal). They had the 3AC engine, (out of the bottom-line Corollas) not a 4A.

 

So I guess I'm technically an AW16.

Sorry I can't resist this.... Wow! I am impressed, a MR2 SC that can type :smile:

I wonder why Toyota bothered to changed the chassis code from na to sc. But they only did a running change, without changing the chassis code, from 86 to 87. (87+ have different suspension components.)

 

there should be a plate under the hood that has AW11 stamped on it. VIN numbers are just VIN numbers.

my buddys corolla actually has the 4A-C. says so on the valve cover. i want it as it shud b a direct bolt in..no?

anyhow AW11 is a jdm mr2
aw15-aw16 are USDM

Fooken ____. I ruined a unique MR2

If the dam state wouldn't have made me junk my black 86, I could have proven you wrong on that one :smile:

EDIT: I found my old title. It states AW15 but under the hood. It stated that it was a AW10. Should have taken a pic.

 

This one was it.

I had all its original papers and its manufacturing dated was August 1985 If my memory serves me right

I remember being sad the day I wrecked it because my birthday is August 11, 1985

The AW10 was Japanese only vehicle and came with a 1.5L carbed motor. It could never have been imported to the US legally either.

 

YYYYYEeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaHHHHHHHH BBBBBBBBBBBrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRooooooooo000!!!!!!

 

Let's see this year is 2010.
Import law lets us import cars 25 years or older without all that hassle.
2010-25=1985
AW10s were released in 1984...

Wait a second, certain AW10 and AW11s ARE importable. Now let's see if you can actually find one still hanging about (AW10s that is).

 

Not just that but cant military people import cars much easier?

Nope,

Just came back from Japan last year (Navy). You have to replace the JDM glass w/USDM, have to add side-impact reinforcement... major upgrade hell. Otherwise every third military person coming back from Japan would be hauling their Skyline with them. (Seriously, I've never seen more R31, 32, 33 Skylines in one place, as on the miltary bases at Misawa and Yokosuka.)

On a side note- I miss my Lite Ace....

 

there was an AW10 for sale here in the states a while back. it was pretty shot, but someone in the military had the safety stuff converted and brought it back home. it had the 3ac engine and auto trans, IIRC.

hm... I am for sure with out a doubt that it said AW10 under the hood. I could put my left pinky toe on it. But I can't prove it now. So it doesn't matter lol
