No, its not a goddamn AE86...


This, my friends, is the ever elusive AE82

Its an 87 Corolla FX16 GTS

1.6 Twin cam 4AGE..T-VIS (secondaries in the intake...like a GSR)
5 speed close ratio tranny
4 wheel disc brakes
Front and rear factory sway bars
Independent rear end
Weighs about 2200lbs wet

and it even has a factory front upper strut tower brace

I've always wanted one, but they're not very common and I never see them for sale so I scooped this one up off Craigslist...I also have a 20V 4AGE silvertop (its a JDM 160hp motor w/factory ITB's) swap in my garage, it'll be in by summers end

when I got it:




threw my wheels on it (they'd never been on a car, so I figured it was time to break them in):








Next to my truck for size comparison purposes:

pretty sweet ive always loved those cars.. If I was to buy something besides a rex that would be it. Here in cali those are SUPER CHEAP. you can find a decent one for like $1000-1200

yeah, I paid 1200 for that one

i love it i have never seen one on the road befour. will it ever see a turbo?

The "4-Throttle" (which is what I have) is supposed to be alot of fun in these cars (from what I'm gathering on the Austrailian boards...since this car is almost non-existent in the US)


turbo on an ITB setup....?
-maybe

I have seen 4A turbo manifolds kicking around on ebay

For now, the N/A setup should be decent for my DD

very cool, car. ive never seen one before

shame there fwd

lol "its not a goddamn AE86" whats wrong with em?! I've got two of them, I don't drift them though, I just like the funky 80s style and the pop up lights.

i have seen one of these up on a mountain totally ripping it up

These are rare here in the states? hell I see them all the time here in SoCal and my gf's mom has a red one (auto though), I guess it doesn't help that the car to person ratio here is 3:1 hahahahahhahaha!!!

I like it! Did they ever make that in awd or am I just thinking of the cellica all track?

btw since you got two ae86's gimme one!

i like the seats those are honda seats right

no, they're the stock seats

what kind of rims are thoes???/ i really like them!

Those would be "KONIG REWINDS" If my rim "guru-nism" is correct.

yeah, they're 15x7 Rewinds
