What have you replaced on your AE86/AE92 since you got it?
I think we should start a thread where you list all the parts you've had to replace on your Corolla...every time something breaks just edit your post to change and it'll be bumped back up for everyone to see. Please don't whore the thread...just list the parts to keep it clean.
That way when we can feel better about ourselves knowing some shmuck has way more problems then you...and we can also direct the newbs to see just what they are getting into before driving Takumi's car
- E-brake cables
- Rear Rotors
- Rear caliper
- Horn
- Sway bay bracket (still looking for one actually...Toyota cant get one for weeks! *help*)
- Plugs
- Cap/Rotor
- Wires
- EFI Fuse
but other than mechanical parts, RUST is the true killer, that and people who don't take care of their cars
parts, and rust (to some extend) can be fixed/replaced, but if the owner has no sense of responsibility in taking the time and effort to research, repair, and/or maintain their vehicle, reading this thread won't do jack
-plugs
-timing belt
-rear rotors
-brake fluid(does that count?)
-gas(does that count? haha :p)
-downpipe
-headlight
-misc gaskets
...and soon headgasket and valve seals! hell yea!

RCA's
re-installed the OEM oil cooler
driver's seat replaced with racing bucket
