    Default Kinda Old school,

    So I just picked up a new project car after selling my RX-7, This is my 1986 Toyota Carolla GT-S Sport Coupe. Has 218XXX mile on it.
    Sorry these were taken with an iPhone.


    More pics to come after Santa Run.

    The rule is that if that generation were produced before the cutoff you're fine anyways.

    Yeah, Its a little rough around the edges but give me a little bit and it will be back on Par if not nicer than the T2. Plus I got sick of spending $300-$500 a month to keep it running.

    Not necessarily animosity. Those cars are way too common for me to really enjoy. I'm not knocking the car. I think it's a bad ass car from the 80s for sure.

    And I'm sure yours will be cool as fuck. As long as you bring it to our meets. Later, QD.

    Because I had almost 30k invested in my rx7 and not too much to show for it. Plus it was time for a change.

    ^^^^ I say to much money for 240HP and way too much for a 4ag IMO, Damn a 900 HP V8 dont even get up to 18 G's for real whomever pays that much for a 240 hp 4AG got to be stupid as FUCK! but again that is my opinion!

    What scared me bout rotaries is fact that the apex seals and gaskets cost up to $1000. Had an 84 rx7 but i gave it to a friend who helps me with my cars, still runs good, doesnt smoke and has less than 80k miles. Those cars are ok til u have to fix them. And not many people know how to work on them.

    Dude. Gimmie the damm title for that thing and i'll go get it out of hock before you fuck up and let it get sold or crushed. Cause if it does and you don't try to save it or let someone else try to save it, I might just crack you in the eye next time I see you.

    the only thing stock is the engine and body panels. This car has already beat my Turbo II around little tally by a full second with me driving and 150% less horse power ( I am mediocre at best.)
