86 intro

Hello enthusiast,
My first time around here. I drive a AE86, owned and raced it for about 6 years now. I don't drift my car and only grip race so drifters will not see my car at a drift event. I enjoy road racing but unfortunately in the twin cities there aren't a lot of road racing event so Autocross is the next best thing at DCTC. Fortunately There has been a couple of PDX/SCCA this year at DCTC which was very nice! I hope for more next year. I don't attend car show/car meets unless otherwise but hopefully my team/car club "Canyon Carvers" (whatever you wanna call it) will see some of the enthusiast here on the forum in the future!

 

twin sidedrafts I approve!

 

Car is hot!!! And I have heard about canyon carvers, one of you cats had that Celica that dealen bought from mr grimes ( I could be wrong on the name I am shitty with names) either way cool cars!!!

 

thanks guys for the warm welcome. Yes, the 83 RA celica was one of the team members' car that he sold.

 

And is back for sale!

Very nice! I have major respect for this car and hope to get one some day

 

Thanks Derrian, I checked your build thread and you got a real nice Mazdaspeed 3! Those are real cool cars. When you decide to get a 86 in the future I hope you luck out on a clean one because a lot of them are all "whored" and drift abused. Mine was a parts car when I bought it out of San Diego, CA. It was rough and came from a broken home. I could of gotten me a nicer one but just something about this one that was "calling" out for help. So my car has come a long way. A diamond in the rough...

 

My MS3 build thread needs some major updates too

I would hope for a clean 86, I do want to drift it. But I don't fully understand the trash out drift look the US seems to have I want my car to look cool, while being cool

I think you have done a super good job it it all repaired up! Sometimes that is what budgets call for

 

neither do i!! i plan on new paint and bumpers when/if i wreck the old ones!!! gotta stay on top of it and keep the car looking good!!

Curious is an understatement sounds hawt

 

Its a car after my heart! OH MAAH GOOUAD

 

I approve. Clean car and built the way I would have.

 

thanks guys! This project has been a very slow build and thanks to my team they had helped me a lot and it really speed up everything! I'll update more video and pictures later

does one find many canyons in MN?

 

I don’t explore MN enough to know if there are any canyons or not... There are a few winding roads that we cruise through MN but the “touge” that we try to do the most are in Stockholm, WI. and there you'll find the canyons. The touge is just too dangerous so we spend more time on the track.

 

gotcha

Just a couple of pictures from last year


and one of my friends corolla (AE92 Levin front end) with a 4th gen 3SGE beams. One of a forgotten corolla since the AE86 took the spot.

Lastly, photo of the Canyon Carvers.. we're still missing a few cars in the photo because everyone have different schedule who couldn't make it to the meet and some cars that couldn't be driven.
will update more later on...

 

Nice!
