well i am planning on leaving the 4A-GE motor in it for now, i have a cold air intake with a custom exhaust with a worn out thermal tip(so it sounds like a snowmobile at high rpms ) haha. I also have brand new spark plugs and wires with a stage 4 clutch. I am looking to put in some ITB's or a turbo, new hooker headers or some Greddy or HKS, with a HKS cat-back hi-power exhaust system with a brand new thermal tip. Also some adjustible cam gears, new guages (for the turbo if thats what i get), and cam shaft.
For the exterior im looking for a brand new paint job with some fender flares or a complete Veilside wide body kit (color im looking at white with black body kit and hood and black rims, apple or candy apple or lime green on black or [color car] rims, or just simple black on black rims), carbon fiber hood, hatch, and mirrors. Eneiki 15" rims, wrapped in some drift tires(so no squeal noise when i drift in town), new head lights(projectors) and JDM style tail lights.
Interior is going to have a driver side racing seat, new carpeting, fiberglass console, short throw shifter, re upholstered passenger and rear seats and new carpet through the whole cargo area. Also going to have tinted windows with an Eclipse 10" subwoofer with a 250 Watt amp, and a kenwood deck. And all speakers all around will be replaced. (2 6" duals behind the rear passenger shoulders with blue LED lights that are controlled by a switch at the drivers choice) It has an aftemarket Initial D steering wheel, and a carbon fiber shift knob. [going for engine and performance before looks ]
Suspension im looking just for some tension rods, new shocks (front and rear), new upgraded strut tower bars (front and rear), and some adjustible lowering springs.
So all together when i am done with my car i should have spent around 10k. I know its alot of money and i have a long road ahead of me. But im still in high school so i have my whole life ahead of me for this LOVELY AE86!!!!
Please dont be afraid to rip on me about my car either, i like hearing everyones opinions on this car, good or bad it dont bother me.
ALSO SOMEONE THAT IS WILLING TO DO PHOTOSHOP FOR ME WOULD BE GREAT!!!!!!! COLORS ARE LISTED IN THE EXTERIOR PORTION OF THIS REPLY POST!!!!!!
take your time on it. dont try to turn into tak just because you have an ae86 hatch... too many kids are making that mistake and ruining the cars or just wasting their money. spend your time on parts that are worth the money and will last you a while. also.. there are much better body kits out there than just a veilside (didnt even know veilside made one for an ae86). if you want a really nice expensive kit check out version: select, origin, or if you want big baller... crystal body yokahama. what enkei rims are you talking about? theres only a few rims that really look amazing on these cars in comparison to what you can make work on other cars. try to keep with the old-school toyota theme this car has... it has alot of history
also... clean the car up a little bit if you want it photoshopped easily.... or you could just look around at the thousands of 86's around and pick from those. im still a big fan of the panda scheme or flat black w/ bronze rims
i took into account i am going to have this for my life, that is my plan, when i get older and get out of the drifting habbit i will just make it a show car and TRY to make money off of it, and maybe if i get good enough try drift racing, but thats kinda a dream. As for body, thats going to be saved until next year, its going to be a project in school, i am taking an auto body class, which where i can get professional help there to paint it, and pay less.
This car is going to be where all my money goes for now, until maybe i grow out of it and hit like a truck or something, but thats not happening soon.
Dont worry all you corolla fans, im a kid i know, but this car is in good hands, i love this car and i want this to be the ULTIMATE PUSSY MAGNET . Everything i own has been takin care of, i love restoring things, and plus, who drives a 1985 Toyota Corolla GT-S in Minnesota? not many that i know of
Keep the ideas coming, i love new ideas for this car!!!!
dude, if your driving this car to get laid... sell it, save up and get a ferrari or something. people buy these cars because they love the capability of the car, the history, and the aura of it. dont rice this thing out by turning it into a "show car" with 15 subs all designed by west-coast. if you want to drift... make the thing drift and go out and practice. wouldnt reccomend dropping much money into anything besides suspension, tires, and lsd rebuilds for now if thats what you want to do. then, when your decent enough that you wont break something every time you get sideways... then start building the outside. nothings worse than cracking your brand new $500 bumper that you saved up for on the first turn of the track because you thought you were the shit. IMO, keep it looking sleeper and build it up inside out... and learn with it as you go
im not using the car to get laid either, its a metaphor and its a joke, i wouldnt plan on the show of putting that bull shit in it, i only want to hear bass, not blow my fucking ear drums.
I will take it into consideration of doing as you say, i just learned the basics of drifting, the clutch kick, e-bake, and still working on the shift lock, i learned all that on dirt, now working my way to gravel, once i can do it good on gravel, then i will take little drifts, like power overs in town(or where ever i can at, preferring a track). Im only making this car drift capable due to its my everyday driver too. And not going to worry about body kits until i get the full controll of the car.
and plus, i think west coast customs blows hairy testicles, i have a friend who does sound systems, and owner of our town audio "Elite Video Sound", its also a video store as the name says, but he is a good family friend, and so i get discounts on all my stuff
dont even worry about drifting in gravel... its nothing compared to asphalt/concrete and the conditions can changed every couple of feet. go find a big open parking lot at like 2 in the morning and throw it around. if you really want to learn off of watching and learning the basics... go buy "drift bible." it teaches you the fundamentals and you can work from there
alright man, i have watched a video on youtube, it was a japaneese video of a DK(drift king), who did those 3 drifts that i learned, i like the clutch kick the best, and the whole open parking lot, well my car is WAY to loud, and will get a complaint if i even shift at like 5000 rpms, its terrible, its the thermal tip thats worn out and fucked, like i said, it sounds like a snowmobile
theres a reason he's called the drift king... keiichi has been around for a long while doing this. in his "drift bible" video he even tells you he learned from the basic ebrake 180 and went on from there to doing donuts and then controlled slides. i like the way some guys do a full 360 slide and then keep drifting as if it were nothing but theres not way in hell i would have gone straight to that. if you dont know how to use throttle control, the ebrake, and the clutch at the right times with the right amounts for each slide your going to ruin parts left and right. and you'd be surprised on the places you can do that at 2am.. i went to a damn boat parking lot at 4 in the afternoon one day when it was loaded and slid around because nobody really cared. the same way you cant jump into the deep end before you learn how to swim... dont jump into the complex moves if you dont even know the basics and reasoning behind it..... also, dont waste money on parts that wont do much for you in comparison to the amount your dropping into them
alright, i have this one gas station, a mile from my hosue, its a truck stop and there is a HUGE lot behind it, maybe i could do it there for a bit and just get used to it, i only want to learn and get good for now, once i get good is when i was going to sell the used parts and upgrade to the big boy names, like HKS or Greddy, ya know, those kinda things
