Ah my bad guys.

like i said i'm new...

any way to move this thread?

only a mod can move it

Why are you welding the diff??? So you can create chronic understeer???

Constant LSD effect, not theb est but it def works.

I myself have an 86 as well.

Its a 1986 Gts hatchback. I dont know the total list of mods as much of them were done before i got the car,

but she has a redtop largeport engine (i assume its not small port becuase of the tvis, but it does back fire a lot on low octane gas... i should get a compression check).

Trd 4way adjustable dampers/shocks (same thing for those who dont know) up front with trd tokico non adjustable in the rear

trd Springs at all corners (Way too soft if you ask me, im planning on getting soem stiffer ones soon) spring rate unknown (damn).

Custom exhaust piping, It had a header/cat system but the original owner took them for personal reasosn and so itd pass emissions.

Then some basic stuff, like steel braded clutch/brake lines, nothing worth metnioning.

She hast he stock lsd, but its in need of a rebuild (i smoke the inner tire when cornering hard pretty easy).

Lastly i just did a bunch of body work to it and finished primering it white for a real paint job soon (save money anywhere i can), pictures in the other thread, she was black.. oh well.

and now shes white... lol. j/k but i cant wait to see the new paintjob on ur 86

Wont be comming til the end of the year more then likely. i MIGHT do the primer panda as a joke til then, not sure

Weld diff= cheap way of getting both wheels spinning

I need to do some body work too..
my hachi is boro styles right now..
looking to eventually get TRD japan springs (8/6) kg/mm

Im thinking like 6 in the frotn and 5 in the rear for me... Too stiff and well, mountains just arent fun.

I guess you can weld it together to make a spool like some drag racers do. It would probably work for drifting I guess. I would kinda suck to try to race that thing though. You might also get some accelerated tire wear if you daily drive it.

I got one! SR5!

I got an sr5 too!! haha in the shop being fixed up for the rust and crap then gonna paint it blue and swap the engine then later find someone to do the rear end!! I miss my hachi!! its been 6 months!!

Mines is just sitting in the driveway. It will soon have a 4A-GE. It's at my shop getting fixed. Just need my brother to install Intake Manafold.

I've had 3 in the past 2 years, I honestly wouldnt suggest welding the diff, just dish out $300 and get a used one.

Matt- You can nickname your GT-S "Michael Jackson" or "Jacko" since it was black, and is now white, and you may possibly get a nose change [Corolla GT-S to TRUENO]

LMAO, ok ill admit; that was good

yes it was Jacko, lol

LOL
Wacko Jacko

isn't welding the diff really dangerous? i read sumin u have a higher chance of snapping sumin (likethe drive shaft or sumin) i'll find out wot this mag sed in an 86 special

Why don't you go to a scrapyard and get a diff from a tercel4wd? it's the same. diffs from several other 'yotas also fit. just remember when changing that kouki and zenki 86's have different splines.


My car is a 1984 Corola Coupe GT which is the european name for the Levin Hatchback. It's Midnight blue metallic with 15" Azev A, It's got Sparco springs, Full racing exhaust, with headers, Ram Air filter, and a second generation big port 4A-GEU. (Red&Black top), and a new original LSD. Curently, I'm not driving it, I'm welding rust... Other than the holes in the floor, and a slightly rustdamaged hood, the car's in great shape. I'm just missing a carbon hood, and a walbro fuel pump, to get the car back on the road again. I'm not buying the carbon hood because I'm an 2F2F idiot though... It's actually cheaper than an original steel hood

Ive heard that stuff abou zenki and kouki too, but according to some tech info from Club4ag its the same, so i dunno.

The difference is that the early cars have 5 mm longer driveshafts, and more uhh... "teeth" on the driveshaft. I know a guy who bought a cusco lsd for his 87 model recently, and he had to modify his rear axle to make it fit. and according to trd's home page, you can get both 1.5 and 2 way lsd for both learly and late cars, but they have different parts numbers. I have the early car, so for me It's a lot more difficult to find a spare diff, cause the tercel diff only fit the late models... I'm just lucky that my diff was new when I bought the car!

Here's the list:
AE95 and carina/corona 4wd (newer than 88) has the same lsd as AE86 built after october 85.

AE95 is named either corolla 4wd or tercel depending on where you live.

Cars made before october 85 : the lsd is unique to the AE86.

1986 sr5 coupe...might get 1984 sr5 hatch back gt-s conversion tho
