Bought the car about 2 months ago in May. These pictures are from a private NCDA (Nor Cal Drift Association) event at Buttonwillow raceway. It was all stock at this event except for a carbon hood.

BTW, when are you gonna drop, strengthen the front chassis, reduce the rear slop, and start playing with the car????:D

[hondamanlxi]

I have a set of RS*R race springs and KYB AGX shocks waiting to go in, and I plan on eventually adding front and rear strut bars :). Those, some better tie rods and some stronger sway bars, and that's about all I'm planning on doing with suspension really. Later, when I have a lot of money to burn on this car I'd like to put in a fully adjustable coil-over suspension and a turbo engine.

Either way, I'm more focused on learning to drive the car better. As a good friend of mine tells me, expensive and high performance parts are worthless unless you are able to use them correctly.

Here's a closer picture of the engine bay (this should give it away)

[Micah 89LXi]

[SharkyX]

[Blue Impact]

Damn, I could've been there to see your run and maybe even ran myself, but I didn't have enough money for tires and a trip cuz there was a G2IC thing going too.

Anyways, because you're from the Sac area, you should keep your eyes open for a purple/violet AE86 cuz the thing's got a SR20DET in it and the last time I saw it (a year ago) it was constantly running 12.6 a Sac Raceway.

Yea I remember seeing that thing around a while back too. I didn't know it until recently, but he runs Evolution Motorsport here in Sac. Bau (the purple 86 driver) and Jack run the shop, and they did all of the work on that purple 86. They are also the ones who did that S2000 F20C motor swap into the red 86 (they do good work). When I'm ready, I plan on getting my swap done over there too.

He was also racing at the event with his 86. The 86 was used primarily for drag, but drifting has been getting more and more popular, so he went out that day to learn.

Here's a link to the thread (http://forums.club4ag.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=74617) on Club4AG.com, and the rest of the pictures (http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4286503777). Courtesy of this guy: homepage (http://www.geocities.com/dorihachigo/).

The cool looking brownish grey S13 240SX with the JDM front (1st pic on the Club 4AG thread) is my buddy Jeff. Unfortunately his car suffered some damage at the Freedom Drift event. The 5th picture down is a shot of the red Corolla with the Honda swap, that guy can drift very well.

And of course the purple 86 Blue Impact was talking about:

ROFLMAO!!!!

The engine is shared across a couple of platforms, not just the truck. But yeah, the same....

Anyone want a skyline? lol

Looks shady if you ask me... and the seller is anal about his NUR spec whatever...

kelw pics... Anyways has anyone ever bought a Skyline to a drift session, you or anyone here attended?... I figure you might since it wasn't driving it on a public road
Unless you went thru some moding or MOTOREX which for some reason has dissapeared... or I'm using bad/old links... urr

Edit: nevermind I found the link http://www.motorex.net/skyline.html

[HondaBoy]

well, for the price of that skyline, i think you can do better. like something cheaper, faster, more practical. personally, i'd rather find me a nice used ferrari for the price that skyline is going for. i'd rather pay big bucks on a fine Italian car than on something like that. just my thing i guess, considering you can find a skyline for much cheaper than that, maybe not one as nice or new. anyway, i dont have the money for anything new or really anything. lol. i think more pix on that guys auction would be of great value if someone is gonna spend anywhere in the 6 figure range! and more so, proper documentation

[A20A1]

It's priced in AU not US dollars though...

[DarknessRS]

Looks like the owner of that S2000 powered 86 Toyota will be featured in the Nov. issue of Import Tuner. That is a very good thing, since Evolution Motorsport will be getting some free advertising.

What wheels are in the rear?

[DarknessRS]

Those are the 5-Zigen "FN-01R" wheels I believe

[Justin86]

I like the odler 240's with the flip up head lights a little more. Maybe if you did an Silva front end swap, but I just don't care for those headlights on that generation.

[Hash_man_Se_i]

Just went with my friend to the track on friday, and he ran a 14.7 in his sr powered 240. That is more like 14.0 at sea level, because our elevation sucks. This is with 216whp, and 213 lb ft on a mustang dyno. It was quite impressive seeing as all he has is an exhaust.

[DarknessRS]

Well, this is a bit delayed, but the red 86 corolla that I talked about above is on the cover of IMPORT RACER magazine for Nov. 2004. Evolution Motorsports has also completed a 2nd F20C swap. The 86 above even has AC after the swap :)

For anybody near the Sacramento area, here is the contact information: . Let them know that Rich directed you to them, and you heard about the corolla featured in IMPORT RACER.

[bobafett]

so i will see you at the NW 240/3geez meet in vancouver right?

[DarknessRS]

The vancouver, wa meet is VERY far away, about 590 miles. Sacramento to LA is closer than that :(, so I'll have to pass. Sorry guys.

[bobafett]

lol i know! ;)

nice car though!

[Hoppin Hatchie]

s13's rule s14's drool......

boy do i ever miss my old fastback...

[DarknessRS]

I hate to dig up this old thread, but the Corolla here was also featured in a Hot Version International (Hot Version Vol.74 in Japan (http://www.bestmotoring.jp/digest/HV/74.html)). Keiichi Tsuchiya and Manabu Orido drove this car at Willowsprings Raceway (http://www.willowspringsraceway.com) in Rosamond, CA.

On the site you can see the video as 021/024 titled: "Hot Version International: American Touge"

The car is listed as the Techno Toy Tuning AE86 Corolla.
