Thanks for checking out my 1986 Toyota Corolla GTS hatchback. This AE86 is purpose-built: street + auto-x + fun! Feel free to sift through my AE86 page and leave a comment. I appreciate comments from all enthusiasts!

1/15/11 Again, time flies! More updates soon, but here's a sample of just a few things in the pipeline.

9/12/09 Wow, I can't believe it's been this long since I've taken pics. Not that many new changes cosmetically, but there've been a few tweaks since last year. I've got a nice collection of suspension components that should be on before the end of the year. Apologies for the weird effects...I'm messing around with a new camera. Also a few shots of the CF center consoles and F-Sport shift knob.

7/17/08 Uh oh. I gotta replace a control arm and rear caliper. Before I do that, I need to pull off the GZE ABV mod. In the meantime, check out the latest addition to the family: Probably the cleanest MR2 I've ever seen!

5/5/08 Found some time for pics in the parking garage. First time I'm rocking the carbon fiber visors and fliplight lids.

Rest of the pics on page 2.

November '07 Meet First time showing off the Weds MA86 wheels.

10/06/07 SARD, A'PEXi, NonStopTuning upgrades with Drift-Office dyno time Wrapped up with some dyno time at Drift-Office. 164whp/160 ft-lbs.

5/19/07 TE37: Track-look
 

Holyrood Cemetery: 4/23/07 My dad was a big fan of seeing my AE86 and its progess...and I intend to keep him up to date.
 

More parking garage pictures: 4/23/07 Car was clean and I just dig the industrial backgrounds

In bloom: 3/18/07 More cherry blossom pics on page 4!
