went back to the junkyard this morning. and was very disappionted. had rear brake drums, no rear brake discs. its a fwd

i guess i just get all the manual tranny components from it so i can change my ae111 to manual.

i thought all those ae86 corolla's were rwd or is it only the gts?????

All AE86s are RWD.

at least let us know where it is so we can scavenge parts from it.

well i live way down here in florida dude.

ok.......so if this is not an ae86 then what trim is it? i mean i looke like an ae86 but i looked and it did not have rear brake discs. unless i didn't see it properly. enlighten me....

VooDoo · 07-16-2005, 12:03 PM

not all AE86/AE85's have rear discs?

toyotaspeed90 · 07-16-2005, 12:22 PM

sr5's have drums...... but that is rwd

Flashmn · 07-16-2005, 02:26 PM

toyotaspeed90 · 07-16-2005, 02:29 PM

i'll gladly tell you guys where to find it. i was planning to buy the entire shell though thats why i came here to show you guys.

Well, since it's an SR5, go and use it for a crazy swap!

Did u see for yourself that it's fwd or is that what they told U? The 85 gts I got from someone who told my best friend that it was a celica, he didn't know any better. It had no stickers or emblems on it. Best friend popped the hood and saw the engine, to make a long story short it was at my house less than an hour later for little or nothing, right now it's nothing because he hasn't brought me the title. Doesn't matter to me though I can use it for parts.
