    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!

    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 :p

    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 :p I want my car to look cool, while being cool :D

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

    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.

    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...
