I just bought the car and it came with JIC coilovers up front that are rock hard and probably in need of a rebuild, and the rear has yellow dot (4.7kg..?)TRD with some blown silver colored kyb. So ya the ride is not very pleasant at the moment lol. I'll likely just get some used agx for the rear and...

Dam, just reading around led me to believe 8/6 set up would be more tolerable as a daily than you described. Must be all the drift kids' opinions. Well, maybe I'll just give it a try first, shouldn't be too hard to get some money back later if I end up not liking it. Also from what I've read, going ...

A pair of used AGX would be perfect, mainly just need something that is short stroke and and half way decent. Local pick up preferred, but let me know what you got.

thanks,
Luan

Went to change out my rear springs and noticed that the bottom rubbers for the springs were basically not there anymore, i'm thinking that was the noise I was hearing. Since it was mainly on deceleration, the springs were probably having trouble staying in place when the weight was shifting forward....

Ya I mainly plan to just daily it, but I will definitely be doing spirited driving as well. And I intend to put a lot of miles on the car as well, I hope to do a road trip in it in about a year (Togue Tour of California! 8-) ). so i really want something that I can get a lot of miles out of, while r...

Ya I thought that it could be pushing it. I was looking through some of the old site archives for any info, and i came across an old post with Haru's (AE86Kai) car in it. http://forums.club4ag.com/zerothread?id=54764 A few posts up from the bottom is his old coupe showing the ride height, stating th...

So I just picked up a set of swift (8/6k) springs. I was told that the front springs have half (.5) coils cut out. Seller said it was about a 3inch drop all around and he was running tokico blues with no problem. On the T3 website for their HTS full stroke says its for cars with 2.5 inch drop or les...

thank you sir!

so i have the strut housings on the way, I am still in need of the top hats as well though.

Still need the stock intake elbow.

Thanks

Thanks for the springs!

sent you an email about possible stock intake ducting...

location?

So I didnt take any pictures this weekend, but i think my mystery sound is coming from the diff. when in 4th or 5th gear and engine braking there is a definite howling from the rear. And it seems to be more rough sounding now. I'm guessing its cause the car is pretty low and its putting stress on th...

I mainly need the elbow and the snorkel that goes across the radiator. I also need some stock strut housings. I live in Orange county, pick up preferred, but let me know what you got.

Thanks guys, ya the main thing it has going for it is a pretty strait body. The motor smokes and stinks alot(maybe exhaust leak), but it still runs surprisingly smooth. Feels like it builds good power, i'm hoping the compression is still good so i can just rebuild the head and get a decent amount mo...

I am also in need, I'll check this thread often for updates.

good reminder IMO. I just bought my second 86, it's been a while since my last. I felt like it was pretty pricey considering the condition it's in. But this thread reminds me that its all about the car, I chose to buy an 86. Not because it was the best choice, but because I wanted one. I was startin...

After about 6 years since my last corolla, I finally pulled the trigger and bought one! My main goal right now is to just get it more civilized since i plan to daily it. http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv144/luanzophamzo/30eafdda-3297-4162-8752-2f80f6ad1b8e_zps2cc89466.jpg http://i678.photobucket...

thanks for the info

I need the carpet set for the hatchback.

how much you think it would be to ship to 92802? might be better to do pick up if that works for you...

Need full carpet for ae86 hatch. Located in orange county, CA. let me know what you got. thanks.

what is vatoloco?

just bought an 86! time to get to work... got a full interior to install, I dont have any hardware, so I'm going to make a trip to the junkyard and see what i can get. I may have to end up going to the hardware store though for some things. Can someone tell me what size/ thread i would have to look ...

when is a good time to come take a look? (714) 8653552, give me a call or text. thanks , my name is Luan. leave a message if i don't pick up, i'll be sure to get back to you.

I think you're doing the right thing. I dont understand how someone cant understand why you wouldn't build something nice into a race/ track car. "wow its perfect!... well lets gut it and rip on it as hard as we can on a race track til it breaks." lol its nice, nothing wrong with wanting i...

Life happened! I had to move to take care of a loved one, so i shed most of my belongings and moved. things are much better now so i figure I'd try to get back into it. not much luck so far here in socal. the corolla's are either too nice or too beat up, but somehow always too expensive for me. :lol:

Been out of the scene for 5 years or so. I have spent long nights thinking of my old corolla, where it is, what has happened to it, is some one treating it well? hah not really, but i would like to know if someone thinks they might know something about its fate. here it is... or was... http://i678.p...
