doo doo status. my 80's beater. man i love this car :)
well in case it fails for the tourny, im sharing here. Either way, maybe some conversation will result.
1985/Toyota/CorollaGTS HB:
in 2002 i bought a GTS coupe in not so great condition.. putzed around in it for about a month when this when came along for $2K. >.< blue book is what.. like 800$? lol so i had two for a little bit until i sold the coupe to another initial D fanboy like me, to concentrate on the takumi wannabe. When im not on my bike, this is my daily, yet it also sees the most track time of all my vehicles. Hands down the most fun to drive. @2006 the engine shat on me @150,000 miles and i just did a simple rebuild with bolt on's to continue learning the max potential of the car while still at low HP. I've done plenty auto X, dragrace-lol, drift events and have also ran it full tilt @ VIR. Reliability? I most recently just drove it non stop from NC up to Pittsburgh to hibernate for a few years while im overseas. Just 2 weeks ago i needed to go back to the states on emerg leave and its been about a year since parking it. Charged the batt overnight, and then it fired right up on first crank before taking it around the block.
