I'm new to this forum and such, but not to the Toyota world. I'm only 15 and, no, I don't have a drivers licence yet, but next year I hope I do. I know some kids my age find Hondas with body kits and fart cans are cool, but look no farther, i'm into the Toyota crowd, and definitely into AE86 corolla's.
My skills for AE86 corolla's are quite impressive for my age. My friends think i'm crazy when I say things like 4a-ge, RPM, individual-throttle, and the fact that my dream car is such a sh*tbox to them. Quite simply, i'm in LOVE with AE86's, yet i only saw 2 AE86's in my area since January Well anyways, I hope that when I get my license, my first car will for sure be a AE86 corolla.
I might get around $5000 CDN for my car, so i'm thinking about a 20V swap. But heh, I gotta study more about the swap and what it's gonna cost me. Right now, I just study about AE86 Corolla's everynight.
I'll pass on martitracing's corolla. I'm more into the hacthbacks painted my favourite colour, flat-black. I heard the 20V's pull pretty hard and have the greatest WOT noises ever. Some soundclips will be useful. If i'm ready for the 20V swap, I can sure use a helping hand from you guys.
Where can I get a used but good Blacktop 20V in the GTA? As long as it has the wiring harness, ECU, and the motor itself, i'm happy.
You have to drive the car to appreciate it. Your admiration or affection for the car right now is just superficial.
I don't know what your goal with the car is, good looking or performance? Either way, both cost a lot of money and time. A realistic ballpark figure would be $10k to start if you want a half decent 86 Corolla. You don't have to pay the sum all at once, but expect your fundings to SURPASS that as you get more serious.
Many new 86 owners on this board over the pass 1-2 years end up selling their cars, or end up with a ridiculous hackjob of a car. Go figure.
I'm not really going for the sports car look, nor serious powerful performance. I'm more into a simple daily commuter car. I plan on doing or putting on; 1''lowering springs, minor bodywork, flat-black , put on some 15 inchers, and strip most of the interior. Basically an OEM looking sleeper car. Most of my money will go into the 20V swap.
Dunno why you want an ae86 if your rich, and it sounds like you are rich, if i was rich my first car would be a Lexus IS200 one pimped out car and drift that, but an 86? Sure they look nice probably one of the nicest early eighties cars if you ask me but hell they are hard to find and if you do manage to find a cheap gt-s or sr5 it will cost you so much in repairs maintenance insurance and being so young you'll just have some crappy ass job, and youll still be going to school so you wont get many hours and wont make much money. Also the car is old parts are rare and so normaly more expensive. Also about the 20v it doesnt exactly pull hard infact it doesnt actually make 160 hp at the wheels and about the sound, it doesnt sound that great or that much different from the 16v here are some sound files of 16vs and 20vs or exhaust notes anyways but you kinda get the idea of how the engine sounds http://apex.wind.co.jp/tetsuro/AE92/sound.html i guess youll see how little money you actually get when you get a job, unless your rich and your parents can fork out thousands of dollars, for example:
When I was 14 i noticed that my neighbor had an old truck sitting there for about a year so i asked him if he would want to sell it and when i was 15 he finnaly mentioned that he would sell the truck and he said for $50 which was cheap for it, it had very little rust a powerful engine and was overal was in good running condition except the brakes where seized and it need a new head gasket and some other minor things my dad helped me out big time but he said i had to pay him back the majority of the money(he let me off with quite a bit), i was actually gonna get into drifting with that baby but unfortunatly i couldnt aford to with the price of gas rising and having a v6 4.0L and now that baby pulled hard that monster had 160hp and 230 ft lbs of torque and standard transmission so it was fun btw it was a Ford Ranger XLT rwd(1993) anyways to make a long story short my dad decided to help me get a small car i ended up buying the corolla gt-s this summer that i was admiring a month before it even went up for sale so i fell in love with it after my test drive got ripped off but enjoyed it it felt like it had more power than 130hp but who cares and after i sold my truck paided my dad what i had to and ive never been more alive.
Sorry if you read this whole thing prolly a waste of time but had to let it out some time anyways I love how my 4age roars all the way up to 7500 rpms, by the way my car is a 91 corolla gt-s with the most powerful of the n/a north american 4ages.
Anyways who says you can't drift FWD? Works fine for me, im begining to love the rigity of fwd and how it feels so responsive. Talk to ya later...
Hmmm...more of the drifter RWD type. Come for a visit in northern Ontario and try your hand at ice racing in a tubbed-out Scirocco first, before you classify yourself as a specific type. It takes years to properly learn the drift, and at your age I'd suggest you buy something a little more...um, expendible, before you try your hand with a Hachi Roku. My TSi Talon was a breeze to drift--with AWD and in the snow (and I still left my mark on more than a few snow banks).
I'm sorry if I sound bitter...I just missed a mint AE86 that was selling locally for only $500 because the guy had no idea what he had, so pleeease stick to Initial D until you've got some years of driving under your belt before you crash a perfectly good 20V '86.
SO Ren, how much you looking to get for one of your AE92s? Just curious!

and just like TbayToyotaBoy said, my father use to race in the magnum ice race series in a late 70s corolla (ke?? or te??) + ice or snow tires (no studs) won a few championships.. then we saw the car at the track like 12 years later
