Hello from Eastern Canada! img's inside
Hello everyone!

I'm from Nova Scotia, Canada and I am the proud owner of a 1987 Corolla GT-S (AE86) Coupe. I bought it as a abandoned project car about 4 years ago and I have been constantly modifying/fixing things on it since.

I currently own the black 87' GT-S coupe (summer car), a red 84' SR5 Hatchback (winter car) and a "project" blue 87' GT-S coupe.

I am also a member of the Atlantic Sports Car Club (ASCC is one of our local motorsports clubs) here in Nova Scotia. That being said, I try to compete in as many auto slaloms as I can. Being a student makes it a little difficult sometimes.

Modifications consist of:

Engine/Exhaust:

- TRD 4-1 header
- TRD Plug wires
- K&N FIPK (originally designed for a mazda 323 ... I think Tongue )
- Ignition inhibitor
- Larger 2 1/4" exhaust piping

Suspension:

-TRD Japan 4.7 kg/mm rear springs
-KYB AGX SW20 front strut inserts
-KYB AGX Camaro Rear shocks
-Custom made coilovers in the front w/shortened struts
-BattleVersion roll center adjusters (Bump steer spacers)
-BattleVersion traction Brackets
-BattleVersion adjustable lateral rod
-Tein camber plates

Wheels:
-14X7 Western Wheels (equiped with Toyo Proxes RA-1's for auto slalom)
-15X6.5 Epsilon (Weds Southern Racing) with cheap Kuhmo tires for everyday driving.

And now for some images...

The Red ae86 isn't abandoned at all. Haha! It's my winter car.

It is currently in my father's garage, due to a blown headgasket....which also ruined the 4ac head Sad

Thanks!

I still have many more plans for my car.... once I'm out of college Banging head

Here in Canada the LSD was not offered (not even as an option) in the AE86. So that will probably be my next upgrade. Possibly some polyurethane bushing, and of course, much more track time!
