TOYOTA COROLLA 1600GT-S (AE86)

 

Cheap but fun to drive.

This phrase might to be suit for AE86.
Horse power never enhanced performance any more, but FR drive system with light weight body make enjoyable handling.


I refurbished this for rally sprint. Spring, shock absorber, clutch, LSD...and more, changed to parts which made by Toyota Racing Development. Taken unnecessary parts, like rear seat, lost its weight to 940kg.

 

consumable parts are sharing with ordinary Corolla, so that cost of maintenance is so low. For this reason I could use this car for seven years for motor-sports.
 
Still now, loving this car, and now looking forward to new TOYOTA FT-86 gonna coming.
