Re: The illusive champagne AE86

^Looks very similar. Found this video, quality is obviously bad but the color is definitely NOT the standard zenki silver. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdTnvEf_jnA

Re: The illusive champagne AE86

To me it looks like a slightly darker copperish gray than the originals zenki color. I have a Gray GT-S zenki and that gray is stunningly bright. Maybe it's just a optical illusion because of the black. However look at the color (3C7) "Rose Gray Metallic" and compare it to the AE86 i poste...

Re: The illusive champagne AE86

It was not that tan of a color, in fact it's mostly silver. I just heard people refer to it as champagne so that's what i'm doing. Here is a picture of one. http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah303/zem86/random/DSCF0297_zpscdd00628%201_zpsdfn94uq9.jpg What further proves they existed is most have G...

The illusive champagne AE86

Many people think the zenki gts was offered in just 2 colors, silver and red. However there is a 3rd color they came in. And that color is two tone champagne and black. I've seen some debate on this where people say they are vin swapped sr5s or repaints. But i have seen enough evidence to confirm th...

Re: Opinions on Sr5 20v swaps vs GTS 20v swaps and conversions and everything else

The USDM GTS purists must hate the fact that they technically don't drive an AE86... elaborate? USDM GTS's carry an AE88 code. The VIN is different, the chassis code (AE86) is the same, i don't know anybody who thinks that/cares about the VIN. As for the question i say tinker with SR5s not GT-S, an...

Re: Extinction Of The AE86

In the past 5 years iv'e seen only one 86 on craigslist where i live, and probably around 30 240SX, of those 30 i'd say 15 were stock. There's no question 240SX are easier to come by. Probably different for you guys in big cities but still. One of the reasons i haven't bought an S13 yet is because t...

AE86 are weaker than Miatas. There's literally nothing in an 86 to keep you from dying in a crash. Don't tell that to your parents.

Re: Corolla GTS/SR5 for a first car?

Almost any 86 you'll find will be beat to **** and rusted out. it'll also smell, be uncomfortable and slow. And most importantly it'll be very expensive. If you can afford it and know how to work on engines and rust sure get one. But i recommend getting something made this century and then getting a...

The site is completely broken, almost everything you do on it gives the error message "The specified search backend doesn’t exist." I cant even use the search function which basically makes this site pointless for getting info on things.

Re: Extinction Of The AE86

So we should celebrate and acknowledge the pedigree and racing heritage of the 86 by not racing them or modifying them to their full potential? Ok. By that logic John russakoff, Alex Pfeiffer, and taka aono should be shot dead. F20 swaps, watts rear ends, turbo 2az. Turbo k20.. and those guys do mo...

The red coupe looks especially sad. I know you said little rust but are you sure it wasnt rusted out? Honestly, if the thing was loaded with rust there is a point of no going back and a "part out" to complete another car is logical. As an owner of two all original 86s I can feel something...

the only reason its reasonably priced is because its an automatic coupe with a sunroof lol.
