I had a 86 coupe, I loved that car. I bought it for $400, wrecked it a ton of times, but I learned a lot about driving from it.

This is how I bought it.

and how it looked when I sold it:

Nice, I cant say I have ever owned one. Although I have had many friends that owned them and religiously drifted them and was able to go out with them in my 240.

Exitspeed · 11-09-2009, 10:16 AM

Nope. Was always into 240's.

randomxzero · 11-16-2009, 01:16 AM

i havent got to own one, driven a couple since some of my friends and my cousin had a couple of them...

ra23celica · 11-16-2009, 01:40 AM

Was the 'coupe with a boot' version the AE-85, and not the AE-86 with the liftback? In Japan there is/was an insane AE-85 running a 2JZ-GTE with a monster single turbo running 11's of something similar. I have not owned an 86 but drove my ex-girlfriends one a few times many years ago. Nice enough car but the chassis was way better than the underpowered engine (4A-C) knew what to do with it.

Cone · 11-16-2009, 08:52 PM

Actually the coupe and hatch are both the AE86. There are a lot of AE86s out there with crazy swaps, your buddies must have been quick!

The 4AC was sooo sloooww!! I had a corolla with a 4AC for a little amount of time, and it could barley go up hills.

Too young and find them to be quite hideous.

i have only gotten the chance to drive the sr-5 with the 4ac. very underpowered, but the car was so freakin light and responded well to input. would like to get one but the prices are TAX!! right now.

DownhillMR2 · 11-18-2009, 07:13 PM

I own an MR2 AW11, which is essentially a a mid-engine AE86.

SUPRAtruc2JZGE · 12-30-2009, 09:57 PM

Damn you got it for $400!! You 86slut! lol jk man! I was going to get one for $1500 GTS 86 Hatch, but no money...Supra got all my money!

Cone · 12-31-2009, 10:35 PM

$1500 is a great price for a gts hatch. I still miss my ae86.

Cal · 01-02-2010, 09:58 PM

I guess I am only in not caring for the Ae-86. Lol

Cone · 01-02-2010, 11:37 PM

Yep, too young to not care I guess.

Naw I am far old enough not to care.

ProZach626 · 01-04-2010, 01:19 PM

I definitely wouldn't daily drive one, but it would be neat to strip it down and beef it up for the track.

SUPRAtruc2JZGE · 01-04-2010, 03:08 PM

If I get one I use it for DD Drifting to work and back home. LMAO!!!

LuaghLine · 08-23-2011, 01:36 PM

Coupe with v20 engine. That's my goal.

dyslexic? Did you mean 20 valve? Also, it's spelled LAUGH. Not to be an arse, just wondering if that's what you were meaning.

Had a 86 hatch. Flew all the way to Colorado and drove it back to the Bay Area. Also had a 74 Celica gt w/ 18rg. Pre-cursor to the ae-86
