Very valid point. I hadn't really considered that!

Put almost 400 miles on her this weekend. Even drove up to Cincinnati for a little Toyota meet with a few buddies. https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4165/34383897712_f01868cc5a_b.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4174/34383898102_abfac6d04d_b.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4185/34544960935_01e42cae2e...

Changed the oil and trans fluid this past weekend. Started storming pretty bad once I got the shifter back installed so I had to wait on the diff. I ended up taking it to my work last night to get it on a lift and changed the diff fluid. All the fluids were clean, and so was underneath the car!! The...

God I hope Toyota does this with the AE86 and other chassis Dude ... I know. I bet Skyline owners are super pumped, especially R32 owners here in the US. I would imagine its super hard/inconvenient to find parts since obviously the R32 was never sold here. At least with the AE86, you can find parts...

I made a friend too. She didn't like me being there it seems. http://i68.tinypic.com/hs0r38.jpg nopenopenopenopenopenopenopenopenopenopenopenopenopenopenopenopeNOPE!!!! I would have sh*t my pants if I saw that while working on my car. probably would have set the car on fire too.

Yeah she is good at that 3d modeling CAD software...she knows all the commands by heart and its fun to just watch her work sometimes cause it looks like shes playing a piano. But yeah, I have a spare 4ag if you are missing something I can send some parts to you if you need to do some measurements o...

Thats interesting. That 1.8l sc engine migth be a good swap for our cars. My wife designs body parts for Honda, Toyota, Nissan, etc.. and they will come out with the new supra soon. I have seen some of the models and the FT-1 is definitely the new supra. Have you seen the Toyota 860 special edition...

NISMO recently announced that its starting a program to recreate discontinued parts for specific Nissan cars, first being the R32 GTR. I wouldn't be surprised if the z models or s-chassis comes next. http://japanesenostalgiccar.com/news-nismo-announces-heritage-parts-restoration-program-for-r32-skyl...

I have a 1987 SR5 and it was originally an automatic but the people before me converted it to a manual. I was wondering if the sr5 automatic rear end is strong enough to handle the power of the 4age. Thank you Drifting, clutch kicks, welded diff, burnouts, etc. will easily roast an sr5 rear, even a...

I was thinking today about the days when the message boards all over the internet were the hot thing. I remember when i had my z32 (that's 300zx for those who don't know) and the site to go to was called twinturbo.net that site was real simple and it was busy.... the most recent post was at the top...

So ... the dealership didn't have the right fluids (I should have known they wouldn't have them since I work there), and my Guard duty took up all my time over the weekend so I didn't get time to work on the car really. Although I did manage to sell the old steering wheel this past weekend, and the ...

B E A U T I F U L

I got bored last night and swapped out steering wheels. I think this looks a lot better. Still need to find time to go to the DMV and get the car titled, get insurance, etc. https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2854/34141448905_f634ab6240_b.jpg I'm going to stop by the Toyota dealer tomorrow evening and pi...

Definitely watching this video later when I get off work.

The skirts on mine will need replacing here soon.

WOW man, that Levin looks pristine!! I'm super jelly. When I get the corolla done, we are going to meet up and take that "fist bump out the window pic" that all the jdm vs usdm cars do hahahaha. Really excited to see this build happen. The shifter bushing from T3 are 110% worth the money....

17 April 2017 Officially the day I picked up the car I've been dreaming of owning ever since I was a little kid. 1984 Toyota Corolla Levin, GT Apex. 143,xxx Kms (roughly 89k miles) Volk Racing Mesh wheels/ Vintage Fujitsubo OEM style exhaust Unknown header Unknown Suspension Sunday we drove 8 hours...

Nice upgrade! If you plan on swapping out your Levin grill let me know. Been on the lookout for a working setup for that grill version Swapping the grill isn't really on my to-do list at the moment, especially since I want to keep it as close to original as possible, but anything can happen so I'll...

I reported about it here. You can see the raw data here. You can download all of the raw data here. I have no idea what any of this means, but it looks very interesting Lol. I was only able to view the .stl files. I imagine software / equipment like this would make CAD 3D modeling super easy and co...

SO. FREAKING. ANNOYING. Their instagram names on their cars, and then they talk about their "builds" and "killing the game" ... like dude, I know you love your car and all but wheels and coilovers is not a build. Literally the exact reason I've made it a point to get more involve...

That video about 5 min in gets intense! I went to an ae86fightclub meet about a month ago cause it was close to my house. I noticed that the majority of people there were keeping their cars mostly stock. I do appreciate a stock car as a classic but I used to enjoy seeing the ingenuity and uniquenes...

Ironically, I believe the dude who is selling this tried trading me the motor for my old RHD FC RX7.

So glad I didn't follow through with it. Had I seen this thread before then, I would have never even considered the trade.

Thank you!!!

You can than thank Gran Turismo for my taste in cars hahahaha

It's a sign of the times... trashing cars. In all kinds of motor sport the vehicle has pretty much become a disposable item in a "win at all costs" competitive environment. Drivers have to go all out at 11 tenths if they want to finish on the podium. Doesn't matter if it is a drift car, c...

Sooooooooo ready for this build!! Good luck! Dawg ... you have no idea. I finally got the customs release papers yesterday. Planning on a Monday pickup :mrgreen: :twisted: 8-) :D :D And then I'll drive up to Louisville and help you get your 86 running ;) ;) I really liked what you did with the floo...

Can't blame them either! I hate seeing all guys snag up all these AE86s and tear them up.
Nothing wrong with having fun with your car, but dudes these days straight trash them.

Here in the next few days I will receive an email notifying me of this cars arrival into the United States and I will make the trip to pick her up. Words can not even begin to explain how excited I am. Not only is this a car that I have been dreaming of owning ever since I was in elementary school, ...

Just sent you and email!

Awesome job! I'm definitely keeping my eyes on this!

Is this still for sale?

Incredibly sorry for your loss!

Welcome to the boards and the State! I currently live in Louisville but bleed blue for the wildcats (last nights UNC game was tough :( ) Its awesome to see another 86 local, their aren't many in Kentucky. We will have to meet up sometime once I get my car done haha. Car looks awesome can't wait to ...
