If I'm not mistaken, the AE86 was a popular chassis to race with as well there. I've taken in -ALOT- of information regarding the platform from Aussie enthusiast boards.



Another cool, and lucky, bit for you guys down there is you got a 3rd gen Celica with a less than stellar 2S motor....all that meant, was that when 3S-GE's became easy to get ahold of, well, super easy swap is super easy.

Bottom line: Toyota made an awesome RWD car, stop arguing what name it should be.

I myself didn't have a clue until the mid 2000s (and even then, didn't care because of the countless better JDM options).
