Roland's GTV Project

[RolandGTV85]

Hey everyone this is my 1985 JDM Kouki GTV LEVIN. I've had it resprayed in its original colours and is rust free. Imported her end of 06' and slowly restoring it to its original condition. It’s got a few goodies as you'll see below.

4AGE ECU has been re-programmed, Has some non-Toyota diagnostic codes. (still researching this....) **** I replaced this with a standard ECU and I found the performance drop and was more noticeable that I originally thought it would be so I put the old one back in.....Much better =P

Interesting Facts:
Head Lights hooked up to Battery to prevent "Dimming" at high revs/power. (Prob very Common but I’ve never seen it)
Very Unique but original Toyota Visors on my door mirrors.
This car spent a lot of its life in Japan doing light track work and only used on occasional track days. About 160km in 25 years.... pretty good... I’ve since don’t roughly 25-30km

This is number two of the three AE86’s I've owned. I originally started out with a white ADM (sold), then bought the GTV from Japan then Purchased the Trueno as the third (sold to Vernon). I have learnt heaps of things dealing with these cars over the years.

Few pictures at various stages of ownership.
The White Levin is my first sprinter (sold and written off by the new owner ), completely stock then added 4age, kings and exhaust etc.
And a few shots of my minty Trueno (Now looked after by Vernon)

looks awesome mate. Is that the new lip fitted in the picture?

[ae86=fun]

hurry up and put the new lip on! Hahah
Oh and take some new pics.

[RolandGTV85]

no thats the old lip. I replaced all the lights/grill on this since the photo was taken. Will try n organise more photos this weekend.
Front Lip will go on shortly

[lach]

I was only asking because i'm after a front lip......would you be keen to sell the old one?

Your car looks awesome...better everytime I see it.

BTW, one of the recaros is in, waiting on the seat rail to come from eastern states so that I can mount the passenger side into the car!
