Ae86 from San Francisco
Hey guys, new member from San Francisco. Originally from Ireland. Moved here in when I was 22 in 2005. Born & raised donutting twincams....

When I got it:

After paint, body, wheels & suspension: I started stripping it in August, 2009 & drove it for the 1st time in August 2010. In that time it went from USDM Trueno to UK spec Twincam

Very impressive GTS or cam (as you'd say in Ireland). The original American bumpers really are just awful, looks so much cleaner with euro bumpers on.

Loving that engine. Please keep a thread going with the build. Smile
