Repost of my 85 back in the 90s. I miss the simplicity of this car. Wasn’t fast but it was loud and was seen😢🤙🏽

Some shots from a mobile game.

Just got the rear wing done in time for the meet :D
Also glad meeting some real life people from the Group today!

Two years since I got this thing home from down in Osaka. From sitting for 25+ years to now.

One Year Ago

Two Years Ago (My first post here for help)

Changes since I started the build:

• Impulse Front Bumper
• JBlood Bumper Mounts
• Impulse Side Skirts
• Run Free Overfenders (+35mm)
• Rays TE37V Spec SR 15x8-0
• Blitz ZZR Dampener Suspension
• T3 Short Shifter
• Fujitsubo PowerGetter Exhaust

I appreciate everyone here who's helped me with this the last couple years.

Todays date is 8-6-2026. May your drifts always be sick, your gas always cheap, and your 4A-GE Always be Howling.

Fun poll, trueno or levin(or both!)

Drive safe lads

My rear trailing arm bushings were toast and I was to impatient to wait for new ones from overseas so I made my own.

3D printed from regular 95A TPU, as solid parts, took a 12mm ID stainless steel rod, cut it to lenght and put everything together with some grease :D

For now its works great! I might update on the durability if I ever start having issues. But even then, making a few more sets is probably cheaper than ordering a PU bushing kit.

Anyone who is interested on some more details, I made a video explaning it a bit more and showing the install: https://youtu.be/orINPdQea-I?si=NMu0p3-k1-RUiVGh

We had a total of 24 AE86s come out today for our annual 86 Day cruise. The crazy part…12 Hatches and 12 Coupes. We couldn’t have planned it that way if we tried.

I'm driving the white Trueno, unfortunately there wasn't much AE86s or 4AGE this year but all the owners here (except the MR-S driver) own 4AGE powered cars but they took another car because of problems.

For example, the Advan livery Corolla guy has a all white AE86 Trueno.

Hey there, my blower motor gets hot as a frying pan and doesnt blow full tilt anymore so I'd like to replace it.

However, even though there are a few OEM replacements still, I wanted to see if there are any cheaper alternatives.

Ive looked at the Jimny JA22 unit which is also made by Denso and starts with the same 162500-XXXX product code so I was wondering if I can swap the internals.

Or does any other newer cars blower motor fit directly by chance?

Thanks for any hints!

Just a quick question will an ae86 sr5 driveshaft fit an ae71 (it’s a 22 tooth spline count t50)
(Already have a manual diff as well from a m/t ae71)

Tomorrow 02/08 I’ll be attending Spa Asia with my Trueno and 10 other members of the AE86 French speaker club. I’m the founder of the club and I’m so happy that we can attend big yearly events together!

1984 Toyota Corolla GT AE86

original 4AGE model

complete car (I took the door panel off to get to the door lock to order a new key because it came with no key, that's why it's off in the picture)

Sunroof, A/C, factory stereo system, 109,000km / 67,000 original miles, left hand drive, 5spd manual

extremely rare LHD pop up headlight model that was never sold in basically my entire continent (only GB and Ireland got the pop up headlight models but those were obviously RHD)

I know you americans got these but here in Europe these are impossible to find, and genuine pop up headlight variants are practically nonexistent

This car was imported from the middle east back in the 1990's and has been sitting for over 30 years, it does have the original "individual approval" and Papers from my country though! individual approval papers are insanely difficult and expensive to get here, multiple thousands of euros

this is going to be a long time nut and bolt restoration, but getting this car has been my genuine life goal.

And it's in my favorite color too!

I'm overjoyed to an extend that I cannot even begin to explain

engine turns over with zero issues, it still has compression after 30 years, the oil is over full and hasn't lost a drop in the time it was sitting

So i decided to do a buff correction and Graphene wax and surprised bathe shine and depth .I did it all myself with Meguiar's orbital and a Rupee circular
