IRL, I stopped racing anybody a long time ago since my Zenki can't even beat a riced out Civic Si, and I have a silvertop. But if it comes to twisties, I wouldn't mind taking on Porsche and the like. Power means little then. |

I didn't say I would beat a porsche in the twisties, but gts are really nice in the twisties (although not confidence inspiring kinda nice). and gts costs, what, 1/20 of a porsche? dont get bent outta shape. no porsche owner in their right mind would want to race a corolla. |

They wouldn't want to race a AE86 cause they can't underestimate the powers the Driver and the car has. | ||

no, they are not different, because a trueno is a corolla, just as a levin is a corolla. some people... | ||

Pearl Harbor Hawaii in Sept. | The difference between a USDM Corolla GTS and JDM Sprinter Trueno is the way the back looks. Other than that, the chassis is still the same. Notice I said GTS. Not a GT. The GT's are the SOHC ones. And realistically, I'd settle for a Hachi-go and swap in a 4AGZE engine into it. Why settle for a regular 4AGE engine? |

IDW Prime Member Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,386 Member No.: 210 Joined: Jan 25th 2003 Location: Laval, Quebec, Canada | Seem i missed a few posts i should have answered . Well, better late than never... Edit : It's about my brother's Toyota Corolla gts 84 (rebuild with 87's parts). My brother's car has a 91's Corolla GTS engine inside. I believe it's 130 hp, but it might be more if the stock one is 130 hp. I recently drove his car around for a few hours following my brother in his new car, and his car isn't bad at all. I guess the gearbox isn't stock, it seem to be close ratio (it's reving at 3500 at 100 km/h in 5th gear). Too bad his brakes are almost non-working, i could not drive it very fast and expect to be able to stop, i had to down shift a lot to slow the puppy down before the brakes could do their job (his hand brake isn't working either). For sure i could tell his car is lighter than my Honda Accord, but no where as stable at high speed... I recently made a deal with my brother to buy his car, so in about a month i will have a second car. I will soon see how much that car can do once the brakes are fixed and the bumper put back in place (my brother did crash it). But my first impression is my old "Accord 87 s" accelerate much faster, but my car is a 2.0L SOHC and his is a 1.6L DOHC and my gearbox is tuned for high speed and his for acceleration (something is wrong here). Also my car is carb powered, he has fuel injection. Anyway, i might see it differently when i will drive it at the same speed i drive my Accord (At 3200, i'm flying at 140 km/h in 5th gear, but i never tryied to go above 185 km/h with it yet)... |

IDW God Member Group: Members Posts: 175 Member No.: 168 Joined: Jan 3rd 2003 Location: Prospect, Adelaide, Australia, Earth | i rekon having forced induction on a hachi roku is just wrong thats just my opinion, but yeh, if i was gonna have a turbo or supercharged car i would get something different than a hachi to me, if its a hachi, its gotta be NA, or it loses all its purity |
