The fourth generation corolla (E70) 1979 ~ 1987
The fourth generation corolla pays attention to the improvement of aerodynamics in terms of shape, further reduces the air resistance, and adopts the design concept of straight-line cutting-edge modeling in line with international commodities, which makes it more fashionable.
The engine adopts the water-cooled in-line 4-cylinder OHC engine “3a-u” with a displacement of 1.5L and is equipped with a three speed automatic transmission.
The fourth generation corolla achieved a production record of 10 million units in only 16 years and 4 months. In Japan, only Ford Model T and beetle can achieve this sales volume for a single vehicle. This car is also the fastest-growing model after the Second World War.
The fourth generation corolla can be said to be Toyota’s test of “luxury” on compact cars. On this new car, which was launched in 1979, Toyota injected more space and luxury configuration.
In addition, Toyota also pays more attention to the design of the whole vehicle. In order to take into account various performances including aesthetics, the fourth generation corolla has been added with aerodynamic design, and has undergone more than 400 hours of wind tunnel tests during its development.
At same time of the luxury enhancement, corolla has not become a “niche model”. On the contrary, this “cost-effective luxury” has also brought a large number of market shares. In 1983, the 10 millionth corolla rolled off the production line; At the same time, this generation of corolla is also the last generation of all rear wheel drive vehicles.
It has been 51 years since the Toyota Corolla was born in 1966. As a family car, it seems that it can not impress people in any aspect. However, it has become a myth in the history of automobile. In 1979, the fourth generation of corolla was listed, code E70. The fourth generation corolla has made considerable changes in appearance. Different from the previous three generation models, the fourth generation corolla has a brand-new design. The rigid and straight lines are clean and tidy. The whole vehicle looks sharp and angular, and has a sense of outline. The designer was the famous Fumio agetsuma at that time, including cars (2 doors / 4 doors), hardtops, sports cars, carry back cars and vans. However, in May 1982, at the final stage of the fourth generation corolla production, a station wagon, which is very popular in Japan today, was introduced, increasing the type of the fourth generation to six.
Returning to the main topic, today’s protagonist comes from a pneumatic player enthusiast in the United States. Let’s appreciate what changes he has made to this classic old car. In terms of suspension, because the vehicle is too old, the original shock absorber can’t be purchased. After airbft data collection and development, we have customized a pneumatic shock absorber for this car. The wheel hub is the same scheme, The owner gave up the original wheel hub model and chose a two-piece wheel hub to match the airbft pneumatic shock absorber.
