Re: What do you love about the 86?

It doesn't have alot of hp but it's incredibly fun to drive. And it's boxy styling offcourse, but i like most cars from that era.

Re: Tires rub fender during cornering. What to do?

Don't get skinnier tires if you like spirited driving. Like VitriumGTS said, get camberplates and roll the fenders.

I'm running 15x8 with 195/50, -2,5° camber and rolled lips, doesn't rub even when i'm driving on shitty roads.

Re: 100% original barn find 85 GTS, upgrade or keep?

I would restore it a bit and do some small tastefull mods. That way if you ever want to sell it you can easily turn it back to stock form. No point in making it a garagequeen, cars are meant to be driven.

Re: opinions on coilover spring rates for daily/ light stree

I'm running 7.4k front & rear 6.2k with toyo t1r's for daily use. On normal roads it very grippy but once you get on bumpy tarmac it sometimes acts a little nervous.

Re: bashbar project

Great fabwork mate. ;) Looks like quality fab, nice job. One thing to think about however, is that if you do street driving or track driving with that thing, the lower bar is really low. This means anything you hit will catch on that lower bar and not give. Remember that the corolla chassis is super...

Re: Wheel Rub Issue

^^You don't have to bash that entire seam, just where it rubs. I did it on mine. I don't think the shell is going to be affected by a few inches of flattend metal. If you cover it in seamsealer, por15 and some underbody coating it will be fine against the elements. If it really weakens the shell, ju...

I have 2 levins and they both have crooked headlights. Same problem like you, the brackets are straight but for some reason the lights itself aren't.
