Greetings my 86 brethern! My name is MOMO and I am from Oregon USA.
First off, I want to say, you folks down-under have some BEAUTIFUL cars. Im envious and inspired by many of your projects. What a testament to a 20 year old car!

I have had my AE86 for over 3 years, and its been a long work in progress. Its undergone some changes and Im getting closer to having the total package I want. I love this car! Also working on a AE86 Rally car that my friend and I hope to campaign in local rally X and Stage rally events.

Here is my 85 Corolla GTS Zenki coupe, 2 tone Pewter/black.
This was a longtime work in progress. I am happy to share that she has come quite a long way and has undergone some transformations. Most recently she was stolen, but recovered, nothing to the car was damaged, just stuff taken.

Greetings and welcomings brethrenator. Nice GTS or whatever you call them over yonder. I like the latest look the best out of them.

Is the SR5 turbo gonna be a 3AU-T (or whatever engine they have) or just a 4AGTE? Just curious..

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Id hope to make it down to your part of the world here in the near future. The US has several popular locations for AE86 owners, the one I prefer is:
http://www.hachiroku.net/forums

Its full of useful info and all around foolishness by the members. We have a growing group of enthusiasts here in the NW (Oregon, Washington) and get together regularly for meets etc.

The car is a longtime project. and the SR5 Turbo project might surprise you. Pics coming soon.

Thanks again. I'll be reading up through the info you have on here, looks like a great bunch of folks!

So here is an update to my SR5 Turbo.
