My Corolla FR, AE86

updated 23 September 2005


I have a "1985 Toyota Sprinter" as they were sold as in Australia. It was the base model AE86 hatchback as avaliable here in Australia. No other version was avaliable here (hatchback only, no coupe), and even though they have the fixed headlights, all were badged as a "Sprinter". (It says Sprinter in the right tail light, and has a S on the steering wheel). I am happy with the look of the fixed lights and hatchback shape. I have made this my race car. All parts that matter have been changed to the "JDM" AE86 Levin part. And all interia removed with a roll cage. Basicaly the car will be a early Levin, with AE101 motor, and front coilovers.
