its an 85 corolla gts with 213xxxkm on the body. the body has rust around 3 wheel wells, and is pretty good for an ae86. most of the hardcore ae86 guys consider my car "mint" haha. however, the paintjob isnt great, something the previous owner did.
the stock motor (bluetop 112hp) was in horrible shape and ive swapped it out for a smallport redtop (high compression, 140hp, way stronger internals). the redtop is still running on the bluetop ecu, so its potential isnt maxed out. also, i have a feeling that my cat is clogged, so before i sell the car ill have a headerback straight pipe 2 1/4" piping. the engine also has a ton of stuff replaced...im using colder ngk plugs, ngk wires, new distributor, new ngk o2 sensor (im an ngk whoor hehe), new toyota coolant temp. sensor, new fuel filter...also replaced the air flow meter, the throttle position sensor, cleaned out the throttle body, timing is advanced by 14 degrees, did the open-element intake conversion, EGR delete, open pcv breather, new waterpump, new clutch....and i made the valve cover really shiny! truthfully, i think the engine has some hidden hp somewhere cuz it should be faster than it is right now. hopefully its the exhaust, but it might also be the ecu.
the tranny is pretty good. syncros work well and only occasionally grind from 1-2 if u shift as fast as me haha.
suspension is decent. my shocks are in amazing shape, so i decided to cut the springs. thats about 2" lowered, and its fixed a lot of body roll haha. id give the shocks about a year before they need some lovin. ive got a set of falken azenis on supra rims, and also a pair of winter tires and a pair of drift tires on my stock rims.
the interior is alright. its really clean (cuz i clean it like a fiend), the drivers seat is a different color. actually ull love the seats once u get a chance to sit in them. i have a cd deck, and a couple nice kenwoods in the front.
i have a bunch of spare stuff leftover from the swap, and also various things ive picked up that ill give away with the car. ive got spare sensors, all the fwd accessories from the redtop, etc...
im looking for around 4 grand. i bought this car for 2 grand, but in the time ive owned it (7 months) ive fixed like everything with the car and ive also made a few improvements. after another $4000 in mods/repairs i think ive turned the car into something a lot better than what it was half a year ago.
