Any oldschool Toyota folks on here?

[Ashkente]

Just kinda wondering :) I'm talking pre-Hachi here ;) like KP61 Starlets, TE71/72 Corollas etc. Everyone's into Hachi's...(not that I wouldn't mind owning one..fuel injection is like a dream for me..:rolleyes: (I currently drive the 'rent's 80 Corolla or 86 Buick..both carbed..)

[Cueman]

Love em...

TE27, TE72, RA21, RA40 and yes... KP61. ;)

I'll tell you one thing though... after owning 4 AE86's, 1 TE71 and many close dealings with friends old Toyota's, I'm doubtful I'll be buying anything like this again (at least anytime soon).

Definitely like the style, and they're good fun to drive... but the amount of work a 30 year old economy car often needs, is just ridiculous, not to mention how expensive odd ball parts are.

If your still driving your parents cars... i would pray and hope that when it comes time for you to buy your own car, you'll have enough money for something like FC or S13. ;)

But... maybe you really enjoy rebuilding and setting up DCOE carbs. I can't stand such things anymore.

Local to Calgary (though visitors from all of Canada) 86 group. No initial D talk... Dori-kaze has been around for almost 7 years now.

Dori-kaze has been around for almost 7 years now. dk is calgary based?! i dont go there that much (cuz im not a drift king), but i always thought it was based out of toronto or something. its the biggest 86 drift club i know of!

Used to own a TE, and I own an ae86 that I'm in the process of getting rid of.

DK has roots in TO. but has since evolved... it's leadership is now in Calgary.

The name suggest a drift club, but I don't think anyone there makes these claims. A few guys are really into drifting, and I know that a couple of them are damn good. I would say, get to know them and find out for yourself.

All of us are just into the cars, the aesthetics of them, the culture behind them. Many of us are big into auto-x, and running at the track, as well as the late night backroad.

Check it out... all of the guys are real friendly. It's been a good place to find used parts, deals on new parts. There's been no scamming, no stingy people asking 5k for beat down cars. It has managed to avoid what I would call the fashion victims and wannabe's of the AE86 scene. I'm proud to say I have friends there.

There's guys on DK that have tons of experience with 3tc builds...

Then again, there's also the random stuck up eliteist jackass, self righteous tool who feels that his opinion is all important.
It's rare though.

Those are some nice old skool Toyota's :thumbsup:..makes my car look "not so old" :D

[Redlyne_mr2]

im a toyota boy, ma61 though, so you probably wouldnt consider it old school.
ive been looking for a nice clean first gen, but pretty much given up hope, along with finding a clean datsun 510 for less than 3k.

Holy christ. Been there, done that. And then some. :rofl:

Not that I don't drive a AE86 something like that but had drove a '78 Celica GT hatchback years ago. Was lot of fun in that car, it's long gone sold. If I were to buy a toyota old school car ... it'd have to be a KE coded sport coupe from 1967-70 period.

I happen to know of one somewhere and have been drooling for some time! :thumbsup:

i currently drive a pretty minty 86 celica (2.0 GT-S 1998 cc 16V 3S-GE).
and am in the dead middle of a 20V blacktop swap on my 88 mr-2.

i love the 80's toyotas soo much:thumbsup:
im hoping on picking up a very clean 86 one day :drool:
i love the reliability i love the super easy to work on engines
and i love taking them thought the corners:clap:

oh but a little more on topic im in love with those old celicas ^^ i love the japanese muscle car look.

This is what I'd want to find - a 1968-70 KE10/15 Toyota Sprinter sport coupe. Here's the link showing a picture from internet.

That's a nice vintage car! I can see it's a Celica - is it a GT? What year to this model? I seem to recall one article wrote on that model some years ago saying Toyota had "copied" a piece off a '71-73 Mustang body design. If you look at the Celica's rear end, you can see a close (almost) shape.
