Any previous/current owners of AE86? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hanzo · 08-16-2012, 12:50 PM

I've had 2 AE86s in the past. My first one was a red 1987 GT-S lift back, a rust bucket. The below was my second silver 1985 GT-S lift back (slightly modified). I had 1 rust spot on the rear passenger side fender and a tear on my driver side seat bolster. Other than that the Silver AE86 was very clean.

Modifications of the silver car:

Tokico blue adjustable shocks front and rear with Eibach pro kit springs.
Falken Azenis tires.
K&N cone intake.
HKS sports exhaust.
Momo steering wheel.
Hella headlights.
T3 short shifter kit.
CD player lol.

Sold the car a long time ago (got all my invested money back).

That's a great looking 86. The backseats look minty. I can imagine in 25 years time, most FR-S/BRZ rear seats are going to look that minty as well.

Woha that was a clean one! Got 2, my first one was a 1986 Corolla GT-S 2 door, a rust bucket really. My second one was a mint Corolla SR5 1986. Sadly it was auto, my goal was to swap this GT-S shit on the SR5 but both of their engine blow up in the same months. And I was 16... not the best idea i've got in my life but I still have plenty of fun with them!

Hi, Hanzo. Pleased to "meet you". Brand-new member of ft86club.com. I've been an 1985 AE86 Liftback owner since May 29, 1985. Photos of my baby here. http://1985ae86hatchback.blogspot.com. We've been in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA for over two (2) decades now. Beautiful specimen you've got there.

I had a POS AE86 first, got rid of that, and had this one after that. I still wish I didn't sell her.

I did the Levin conversion after I had a little boo boo with the front end.

I still wish I had this car, however, the FRS will do for now.

Damn, that looks really clean.

philstar · 11-07-2012, 07:05 PM

my old 86 several years ago, I definitely miss it and I regret ever getting rid of it, although the FR-S has filled that void quite nicely, giving me that same feeling of enjoyment that I thought was long gone.

Tanuki · 11-07-2012, 07:28 PM

I have had a few, and I can give you plenty of stupid reasons why I sold each of them.

1987 SR5 Coupe

1987 GTS Coupe

1985 GTS Hatch

1986 GTS Coupe

1984 SR5 Hatch

1987 SR5 Coupe

1985 GTS Hatch

I've never owned one myself, but I helped a friend track down, purchase, and restore a GT-S a few years back. Drove it a couple of times, and my god that car was a blast!

It's an overused expression, but they really don't make them like that anymore. As much as I love my FR-S, the day somebody puts a high-reving RWD hatchback on sale in America again, I'm trading up (down? sideways? ...I'm trading my car in).

Tanuki · 11-07-2012, 07:37 PM

^Really? I think the FRS is about the closest to the feeling I got when driving my cars, well except I know it will start and run every time I need it to.

Yeah, but I got a weakness for hatchbacks.
