  • AE not 86

    ive always wanted an ae86 just like everyone else in the world,but wen i got my first car i couldn't afford one, then i found this this is the black sheep of the ae chassis. the bastard child of toyota , the last corolla coupe to be offered in america .and its FWD even though this car screams RWD, its the ae92.that no one ever cares about.this is the only picture i can find when i first got it . first thing i did was get coilovers but pretty much that's what it first looked like. so anyways , i soon found out that parts are very very limited for this car . so the process has been slow and costly ,but its coming along just fine. i always forget to take pictures of what i do to it so its going to jump 4 years all of a sudden , but this is the most recent work to it ... since mine is an sr5 , it came with drums , so did a rear disk brake conversion the other day , also doesn't come with the side skirts or the 4age.. this are some lower control arm braces that i had imported from Thailand. from fucking Thailand. they stiffen up the travel so much , so that was good. not just for looks. also just put some bc on the other day as well because the ksports i originally got did not go that low at all . then some ascetics. this a bzr trd wing from a ae111 i had imported. then if you can see i have a custom front lip that i had to lurk on every forum i could find for two years to find out who made the lip then revive a 4 year old thread .(thats my 3rd one) have a new one ready . also if you notice i got a passenger mirror , as mine was missing it . also thats me completely stuck in my own driveway trying to back my car in to work on it. really blurry pic but thats a better look at the wing..
    anyways thats all the pictures i have of my car . i dont really care to take pictures of my own car that much ,but ill try to update more on what i do to it.
    cheers,ivan

    It looks awesome! Reminds me of a long wheelbase MR2... A few driveline problems but I just see the styling ques there

          despite being fwd, i bet these cars with the given setup and some mild power adjustments probably would be really fun pulling through corners. i love this and what you've done to it man!

                Hell yeah, check out them links. I looooove ae92's.

                Are you going to 20v or GZE swap it? Also, how about the JDM skinny bumpers?

                  Cool AE92!

                  Wouldn't mind a sedan with a 20v blacktop and the 6spd trans.

                      Uhhh... This is rad as fuck. I don't even care that it's fwd, it's just cool. I've never paid any attention to this chassis, but honestly I think when I get around to the fwd build i've always said i'll do... this might have to be it.

                        Looks cool!
                        Kinda reminds me Honda Prelude.

                          Actually looks pretty awesome, Id take a lot more pics of it if I were you.

                              Nice, I don't see these modded too often. Tastefully done, we Corolla's gotta stick together lol.
