[M1TECHNOLOGIES]

Are they still easy to find or they go out just like that? I can't seem to find pne

[w7mag]

@M1TECHNOLOGIES Very hard to find now. 

[M1TECHNOLOGIES]

Were did u get one? I want one so bad!!

[w7mag]

@M1TECHNOLOGIES I bought it in 1986 from a company called "Dick Smith Electronics" when they pulled out of the US market. (Thanks Dick Smith!!!)

[SiennaMaster]

nice powerslide...

[Sonicku]

A sunroof? 

[w7mag]

@Sonicku Yes. I hate sunroofs..

Toyota Motor Sales USA seems to think that anyone buying a performance version of any of their cars wants a sunroof to look cool. That was the irst thing I welded when I converted this car for Rallying.

[pancakes562]

wow! 1987? thats the year i was born lol

[the13joker]

Forgive me for correcting you but thats a 1985-86 model , those rims and those type of leters only came in 85-86 models (wich by far is the better of the GTS series) the 1987 models came with small lettering on the doors , and different rims (ugly stars lookalike) , you my friend have a rare mint condition GT-S withs sunroof and a redtop engine (TVIS) ,4:11 diferential with LSD, ITS A GEM!!! take care of it , and if you ever wanna sell it , just let me know , ill buy it!!!! Peace out!

[w7mag]

@the13joker You are 100% correct in that this vehicle is a 1985 Corolla GTS Twin-Cam. I believe in 1986 they color matched the spoiler (among other things).

The reference to 1987 is that is when the video was shot.. I see how that could be misunderstood do to my poor grammar so I have made a change to the title.

Thanks for pointing this out. :-) You are truly an AE86 fan...

[jufrabappa]

woaaaaa..amazing just imagine thats was before initial d..gasp....good stuff 5*

[sunnyddude]

did you feel like Initial d

[w7mag]

Not sure I understand the question.

[sunnyddude]

u owned a corolla gts and havent seen initial d!

[w7mag]

ok,

Just searched for Initial d and found a ton of vids on it. Haha!

Since I did this video in 1986, perhaps Initial d felt like me...  :o)

[M4DEinCH1N4]

lol. good one. that had me laughing

[GershTV]

whoa thanks for taking me back in time!

I'm really looking into finding an old corolla to invest some time into, is it worth it?

[w7mag]

It is SO worth it!!

[trucksoner]

damn, u had a crx, mr2, and ae86 at your disposal, that's nice!

[w7mag]

If we had only kept them....

[kenni411]

[cody1591]

[RCSuperPowers]

Oh, you practiced that a few times!!!

[DiscipleoftheWatch37]

[trucksoner]

i wish i had an ae86 coupe!

[Extrememarksman]

That's SICK!!!!

[ae86crazed]

Hey! Awesome video! thats a good looking '85 hatchback! My dad has a coupe in the same colour! We even still have the yoko A008 tires on the factory wheels!!

[Cerebral88]

Sweet GT-S. have you done anything as far as tuning it?

[w7mag]

That video was from 22 years ago.

I did do some minor stuff like removed the catalytic converter, and some TRD stuff.

As for suspension, Tokico adjustable shocks. Shock tower brace, skid plates, etc.

And if I remember right, I was on Yoko, A008R street tires. made the thing feel like it had 400hp in the dirt. Slippery and fun.

[vazq1007]

Nice car great condition.

[w7mag]

Thanks!

Old video.

[85corolla]

What a beautiful car and look at the condition! This video is priceless. Thanks for sharing.

[EvripidesCelicakias]

Damn man! Very nice video!! As if the AE86 was running on the WRC or something :-P!

[fooloco]

[w7mag]

[robertae86somthingfu]
