I got this car with a pretty full history, I've had it for approximately 14 months, no engine probs but problems with steering; had replacement rack (second hand), problem still there, gearbox crunchy, rust on rear arches, boot and sunroof.
I love this car, 0-60 is twitchy so hold on tight, but around 5000 revs in 3rd it seems to scream and not do much. Basically it's a high rev engine and to make it perform you have to scream the ass of it, changing down gears for manoeuvres is a must, noisey drive. I'd love to put a 2.0 ltr Celica engine in it. Becoming rare, brilliant car if on a low budget, but DIY fitting a must, discs & pads all round 130 quid from Partco.
Can I chip it? Let me know nickbsam@aol.com
Hi, just to say as a fellow AE86 GT, owner yes you can chip them from about £150 to £200 approximately, trying to locate overseas contacts for cheaper genuine parts, for example: sunroof, rear tailgates and those lovely arch trims all round.

Hi there I was wondering if your interested in selling your Corolla gt AE86.
If you are can you email me: bass112_2000@yahoo.co.uk.
Cheers.
If you've still got the car (& it's the ae86 coupe), and if you want to get the rear arches repaired properly without spending £500+ on quarter panels from Toyota, email me.
