Farkas Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 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).

Nice to meet everyone, here's some pics of the whip.. some of you may have seen me around town. http://portal.conceptual-x.com/andy/PC010013.JPG http://portal.conceptual-x.com/andy/PC010016.JPG http://portal.conceptual-x.com/andy/PC010017.JPG http://portal.conceptual-x.com/andy/PC010018.JPG http://portal.conceptual-x.com/andy/PC010021.JPG If anyone cares enough to ask about the specs i'll post them.

I thought they were all hatchbacks.. Anyways, welcome and cool car graemlins/thumb.gif 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Farkas Posted January 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 hmm.. well the only other guy i've met is a guy named Pat with a red hatchback and highcomp redtop swap, he was up at speeds a couple times with me. I'll be at the Kil-Kare raceway in april, so maybe i'll get to meet some of you guys there if you're into that kinda thing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
