First one was a total POS, 1986 Corolla GT-S coupe. Second one was dammn clean but slow, 1986 Corolla SR5 coupe. My goal was to swap the GT-S shit in the SR5, but the GT-S engine blow, 3 week after was the SR5 one blow... I was carless so i've sold the 2 cars. I've drive the GT-S one winter and damn this car tell me how to drive.

going to check with my parents to see if they have any it was back when i was 16(12 years ago). a guy was giving it away on the toyotanation forums and i was the first to respond. It was probably one of the cooler things to happen to me. It needed a motor but the body and frame was in surprisingly great condition.

OK I don't even have an order for the FR-S yet, but I will get one!
I got my Corolla from a guy in St Johns, actually across the street where the new FRS is being delivered off the boats! Here it was a few days after I bought it in 2003 for $420. 2005: How it looked when I sold it in 2006: Makes me miss it. I had a lot of fun in that car. Mostly cause I knew I couldn't break it, no matter how many times I hit a curb, or flung it around curves on Crown Point. |

Any AE86er hating on the FR-S is just jealous. All they can judge it on is style, anyway, since hardly anyone has driven the new cars. It's not like the style of the AE86 is what makes them popular anyway, it's the driving experience -- which is exactly why I am buying my FR-S!

Funny, we had one in my family back in the late 80's when I was driving an IROC. The 86 was a twin-cam and was my sister's car. While the IROC was much faster feeling, the 86 was so much more agile and I liked the fact that it was stick. Even though I was raised in a small-block loving GM family, I recognized that 86 was a cool car. I wouldn't have admitted this it at the time, there were days I wished we had traded.

My old 1987 GT-S Twin Cam. Factory LSD, no sun roof, crank windows. '87 the GT-S seats were optional and the SR-5 seats were standard. This was the lightest version of the AE86 they ever sold in the US. No dash cracks and full black interior. It was basically the perfect USDM AE86 with a few minor mods, some were cleaner, but as a drivers car it was fantastic.

Nice! But you don't have any Neuspeed or Calvin stickers which make it faster.

thank you. i dont know why people hold that car in such a high regard. it sucked for how expensive it was. i really liked it but it wasnt anything special. the thing is more econobox than sports car. i think its funny that the people who love the thing often chastize the new mustang for its poor handling which they attribute to the live axle
