SEG is better in my opinion..

I just bought a 95' B14 1.6 recently.. Its fully original and the pickup/overtaking power us lousy. Consumption is around 400-500KM per full tank of RM70-80. Stock suspension is not bad on 14" steel rims(not sport rims) with Michelin 185/65/R14 tyres I can take sharp corner at 50-60KM/h without skidding on dry surfaces although I constantly hear "klock klock" sound if I hit a pot hole or small bumps..

My friend's SEG AE101(White red lamp) just fitted in a 4AGE 1.6 20V engine and the pickup/overtaking power is damn satisfying. Suspension is also way better than the B14. Toyota is famous for their long lasting suspension system and more rugged chasis..

SEG looks also more sporty after snapping on bodykits and rear spoiler compared to the too rounded B14 in my opinion..

Dude, since u just got d car gv it a proper service 1st (replace plugs, lubes, flush all d oils n coolants, check for worn hoses etc). Many claim tat GA16DE's pickup is stronger compared to Toyota's 4AFE (stock vs stock), me included.

Oh, n leave d 4-throttle or older 4AGEs (blacktop, silvertop, redtop or bluetop) out of tis. All r in different leagues wit different purposes unless ur wanna bring in Nissan's SR16DE NEO, Mitsu's 4G92 MIVEC n Honda's B16s.

The salesman claims that the plugs are new etc etc.. Maybe I should give it a check and do a overhaul if needed..

Im just saying that more people fit in 4AGE engines in their everyday driving SEGs than SR16DE NEO or SR20DET in their everyday driving B14s unless they mod it for other purposes of u know what....

Dont know why but it seems that fitting 4AGE is popular.. Maybe its easier to get and parts are cheaper..

biggrin.gif D only time I'll believe a car sales persons words bout any replacement is when he actually takes me to d place when d changes is made n I see it wit my own eyes.

Basically only d SR16DE's water pump is a bit harder to come by. D other parts r quite easy to source or just as reliable as Toyota's 4AGEs.

As for d reason theres more ppl putting black n siltertops in their everyday rides is typically b'coz there's more Corollas (AE92,EE/AE100 & AE/EE111) on d road now compared to Sentras (B13, B14 & Y10). Cost wise, both halfcuts costs about d same.

Ahh I see now.. Now that you've mentioned it.. Yeah the population of Corollas are more than Sentras..

Btw.. Is there big difference in performance between SR16DE and 4AGE despite being in different league? If im not wrong, 4AGE Blacktops are 1.6 20V right?

Toyota's suspension system will last you 8-10 years easily if you dont seriously abuse it...

Now I regret buying that B14 lol..
