1985 Toyota Corolla GTS Liftback
Production Date: January 1985 (zenki)

MaxPham's 1985 Toyota TruenoMaxPham's 1985 Toyota Trueno
I originally bought this car for the bargain price of $1,000 prior to the cartoon drifting craze induced "Initial D" taxes. It started out as a stock red colored gts sitting in some guy's garage in a quiet suburb in Boston, MA. My only intent for this car was to get a 5 speed winter beater. My parents were devoted Toyota and so I was also devoted Toyota.

This cardomain site is a bit dedicated to the history of my ownership with converting a tired stock GTS into the slow beast it is today. Here's a synopsis of what it is today:

Hey Pham! I didn't know you had a CarDomain page and that your AE86 has been all around the country. How's your recent move from Washington going? Also,If you're not already a member, I'd like to invite you to join my Old-School Japan Group. Just go to http://groups.cardomain.com/groups/10029/pages/10040.
