I think that according to the chassis code, the generation number can be determined. "ZZE110" The "ZZ" stands for motor class. The "E" stands for corolla class. The "11" stands for generation ??? And the "0" stands for no revisions. Is that right?
I can remember from AE86-up so it's Gen5=84-87, Gen6=88-92, gen7 93-97, gen8 is 09-02, gen 9 is 03+
And actually the 98-00 is 8 and the 01-02 is 8.5 because they changed the front facia, dropped the VE trim and added the "S" trim, and added VVT-i to the 1zz-fe.
Actually I don't remember if this was in 2000 or 2001.
