Sup guys, just thought I would drop a line and introduce myself. My name's Andy and I drive an 86 Corolla GTS coupe(AE86). I'm a local here in Columbus, and always knew about these forums just never signed up. Nice to meet everyone, here's some pics of the whip.. some of you may have seen me around town.

currently have a pretty much stock Bluetop 16v 1.6L 4AG, 2" exhaust piping, 5spd, grantGT wheel, TRD replica seats, Spinturn knob, front and rear strut bars, T3 camber plates, Espelier Springs with Tokico blue shocks, Panasport FS 15x7 wheels with 0 offset, TODAracing Camgears with custom cam gear cover to see inside, Aftermarket Intake, Bosch Platium Sparkplugs and NGK wires, Repainted Valve covers.

 

recently got it dyno'd with a peak hp of 103.54 at 6250 rpm and 99.32 ftlbs of torque. not too bad considering its as old as I am. Hoping to sqeeze some more HP out of it one way or another.

didnt know someone else had an AE86 on here, but thats cool.. no all of the corollas were "liftback." They came in the coupe model as well which were about 150 lbs lighter, with a stiffer body/frame. Oh, and the luggage rack was a choice on the coupes when it was new that is very rare and hard to find. I have an arm rest that was also supposedly an option they offered, which is also a very rare item to come across.

ahh, who are the other two on this board? I really need to change my brake fluid and I plan on sourcing out some FC calipers and etc for my front rotors once I start doing the footwork on my car. Oh, and an LSD rear end is soon to come smile.gif

That is possibly the best looking early Supra I have ever seen... I might even concider trading my parrot-mobile for such a thing...

It's an 82 Celica, not supra.. its very easy to get them confused smile.gif

Nice ride. I've seen you driving around Gahanna a few times. I think you're someone's brother on here if I'm not mistaken.

 

I used to drive an AE86 back in the days.. to bad I sold it :( .

I know man :( , but back in the mid 90's, these cars weren't anything. Hell, there weren't any message boards around back then (stone age) smile.gif . I didn't know what I bought.. and what I sold .. it still sucks. Every time I see an AE86, I just cry that I sold a VERy nice car.. for $1500 bucks :( .. damnit.. grr. it only had 130k on it and I just replaced the clutch. There was just too many little problems with it and I was 18 at the time and didn't know anything about cars.. so I dumped it and bought a '91 Lumina. Good thing about it.. I haven't had a ticket since I sold the car smile.gif . Not once even being pulled over. I racked up 9 points on my license from that damn car.. in 2 years.
