Hello from Beantown

[Beantown_Trueno]

I'm the fortunate owner of a 1987 Toyota Corolla GT-S (coupe) No offense to the 3 door models but i think the coupe just looks sexier...jaja...currently being fixed, it appears the previous owners didn't have the time and i got a sweet deal because it was giving to me on the condition that i pay for the parts. This car is one of my favorites since my cousin drove one back in the early 90's, I called it the poor man's Ferrari :-P I'll post photos later on, but the car has me doubting if it is a GT-S because its listed on the title as a 1987 Toyota Corolla SR5 but it doesn't have any characteristics of one.

Specs from what i can see:

Engine mostly stock except for the cold air intake filter
Previous owner did a coil over conversion up front, looks like ground control
Came with 17 inch rims
aftermarket exhaust

Completed fixes

New Gas tank
New Fuel sender
New Fuel Pump
(this is where previous owner was stuck, it took two brains to figure this one out...jaja...)
Started car and Engine sounded great :-)

Next fixes:

Springs
Shocks
Break Rotors

I'll keep ya guys posted

Welcome!
17 inch rims? Are the arches modified?

[Beantown_Trueno]

Welcome !

If i where you,i'd lower it alot.

It looks like a monstertruck now.

Your hachi seems to be in good condition ,no rust at all.

i have it on stands right now, because I can't drive it with the suspension it has. Have you guys ever seen a body kit like this for a coupe?

[Ivan141]

Looks like it's either custom, or something american-made (judging from the look of the bumpers). The sideskirts bare resemblance to the european hasselbach kit, but the fins before the rear wheels suggest they are not hasselbach skirts.

do you guys know what i can use from a 1986 corolla SR5 coupe for my GTS. I need new Front struts and i want to know if i can use ones from an SR5?

[banpei]

Front struts of the SR5 are the same as the GTS
