now for MY new car...
After searching and searching for a RX-7, 180sx, AE86 or a Civic that was either affordable or a dam 5spd, I landed this an AE 101. 1992 Toyota Trueno 4a-ge 20v. This car is nearly identical to the civic si. 4 wheel independent susension, BIG 4 wheel disc brakes, 160hp @ 7400rpms, (not sure of the tq yet in ft. lb) this car is the ----. I found this one online (just like I did my skyline) and called about it. The lady said it said twin cam 20v on the side of the car,(which it does) so she assumed it was a twin cam, and it was a 5spd. I said, as long as its what you say it is, consider it sold sight unseen. I went over to there house about 2 hours later and took it. anyways...onto the pics.
I wanted a AE86 real bad, but the cheapest I found was $4,000 unmodded, and the most expensive was $8g's before taxes and all that JDM bullshit. Im not happy with the way this thing looks, but I think its gonna grow on me. Body has quite a bit of sun damage, but no cancer, so thats a plus. Junkyard style
When i first pulled up, i thought, those are decent wheels. then i walk up and notice they were VOLKS!
Toyota Trueno
I like looking at a 9K rpm tach.
and the money shot.
4A-GE 20v stock throttle bodies
plans are first get a suspension and a brake system like no other. Then start with the usual I/H/E and then go from there. Im not sure if I wanna go boosted or NA with it. With a stock CR of 10.5:1 I might go N/A and see how it does. If I can pick up a 4A-GZE for cheap enough, I will probably just swap that in dump the SC and turbo the hell out of that. My priority is to get it to handle and stop on a dime first.
all for $2,000
someone asked me if everything was in japaneese, and i replied a while ago with "no, most is in english and jap. but you can usally make out what the store is before going in" and they didnt believe me. So just wonderin if anyone knows what this place might be
