Nsaglibene Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Well, I just wanted to share with you guys the purchase of my second car... 1985 SR5 Corolla, I got obsessed with AE 86's last week like out of no where and I found this in my town for $400. I figured why not? Fun project for the summer. It runs and has 180,000 miles on it and very little rust just two little touches on the rear quater panels. I figured I can get good at driving stick, and learn some more about cars working on it a bit.

John M Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 I'd buy it too! If I ever see an 85-86 hatchback, it's mine. Of course I'd prefer a GTS but those drifting idiots have ruined the chances of finding one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warnoldscu Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Sweet summer project, I was browsing around for something like that to mess around with this summer, too - what sort of plans do you have for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nsaglibene Posted June 25, 2005 Author Share Posted June 25, 2005 Yeah def shoudl be some fun especially cuz it is running strong, only thing that might go is the clutch. I wanted to strip down the interior and take a lot of it apart and clean it the best possible. Than sand it and rent a spraygun, primer and paint it white. Get a CF hood, maybee trunk. Get it to look decent, than open up the headers for a bit of power. Eventually down the road if i still have it possibly some sort of swap somthing DOHC, and throw on a turbo cuz stuff for the car is pritty cheap if you can find it. Throw some fat tires on the back on a set of 15's and thats pritty much it. Most of the ideas are more down the road stuff if I keep it for a while. For this summer it will mostly be some cheap DIY mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maosta Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Turbos are cool for 86's. If I had one, I'd go hi-comp with individual throttle bodies :drool: That's a damn good sugar cookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
