Lush,

Me thinks the GTi was the updated AE92 (with 100kw 4AGE motor)

SX was the early model AE92 with 90kw ??? 4AGE.

Then again I'm no expert on Rollas !

Cheers

I like to refer to the GTI AE93 as the "Poverty Pack" SX corolla.

It was downgraded from the original AE93 SX in terms of interior trim and alloy wheels to make it cheaper to try and increase sales.

the GTI had the series II front bumper same as all other series II corolla's, rear hatch garnish same as other series II corolla's, and a colour coded rear wing. The GTI had a lower spec interior with masonite door trims instead of the nice moulded trims in the SX etc. The GTI came standard with steel rims with hubcaps instead of factory alloys which the SX had.

The only saving grace for the GTI was that it had larger 258x22mm front brakes the same as the series II SX seca, that's the only mechanical change over the eariler SX hatch.

The highest spec AE9x corolla you can get is the Series II SX seca, which had optional power windows in addition to the moulded trims and all other good bits.
