Once again it's been awhile. Growing up means having less time to do things I'm afraid. Since the last time, I blew up the 4age in the 86 and had to park it for awhile. I finally decided on doing an engine swap, and I was originally going to run a 4age 20V with ITBs, but for the same money and more power, I decided to go with a 3sge Beams instead. Swaps currently getting done at a local shop and should be done very soon. To say I'm excited is an understatement. Should be somewhere in the area of 210 crank horsepower and weigh in around 950 kgs.  
Extremely candid shot a Corolla friend of mine got when my car died. 


Apparently the yellow 240sx is Tanner Foust's old Formula Drift car from back in the day.

They're RTR Tech Mesh wheels. 19x9.5 with +33 offset and 19x10.5 with +45

So here it is, my 1985 Toyota Corolla GTS. Its got a few JDM goodies such as SSR wheels, Bride seats, a Crystal Body Yokohama front bumper and plenty more. It's in excellent shape and is roadworthy as is. Just a matter of fixing up some little nitpicky things and it will be perfect.

That is indeed a beefy ride congrats!

great ride! I love the look of that generation

Noice!

It's been quite a long time since I've been on here, and since then I've traded my beloved FRS for something a bit more... beefy. So here it is, my 2013 Ford Mustang GT/CS

So yes, it is the 5.0 coyote motor which means its good for 420 hp. The California Special package adds a front lip, different grille larger spoiler, different rear valance and leather and suede seats inside. All thats done to it right now is an exhaust and staggered wheels with 19x9.5 up front and 19x10.5 in the rear and a 305 tire in the rear.

It's been absolute Eons since I updated this (I blame work and adulting for that) but seeing where I left off seems like an eternity ago. Since the last update it's been probably 30k miles and lots of changes. First off was the Carsmo lip spoiler which really added to the rear end of the car. Then I bought a set of Toms tail lights for $140 and finally the biggest change has to the the Powered by Max coilovers I bought. Never installed those lowering springs as it would turn out, decided the adjustability was worth it in the long run.
 
Next up on the list is a brake upgrade since my stock brakes are starting to feel worse and worse by the day, as well as a set of rear lower control arms so I have full camber adjustment front and rear. Once all thats done I'll focus on a new wheel set up and probably some kind of cheap front lip.
 
Here's the first shot with the new spoiler on the car. Circa April 2016

And here's a shot with the new tail lights.

And here she sits now with the coilovers and all the mods up to this point. A couple shots from 86fest here in SoCal a couple weekends ago

A little throwback to my FRS before the new wheels and some of my Subaru friends before a canyon run.

Did a review of my exhaust finally, so here's the vid.

Took the FRS to autocross not to long ago. It was my fourth event and to not be last is pretty big at this point. I'm not near the limit of my talent quite yet as I feel I can gain some time here and there, although new tires would be help a lot. Now I just gotta get past all these Miatas. :fp: I'm number 586 btw. And ignore the times on the very right, I'm not entirely sure what those are for. The first 4 are the actual runs.

And hanging with a couple friends. :smig:
