I Now Own an 86 Corolla...
...witha quarter million miles on it. It truly gives me that spit-up taste in my mouf...
I bought it for my stepson (at his request) for $150. I got it running (bad coil) and de-carboned the engine with Seafoam.
Bleah!
I really hope no one who knows me sees it squatting in the driveway. In a week it will be gone.
I just hope i don't get a ticket parking it on the street (ticket for littering!).
Mazdas are teh rool!
sigh.

This thread is worthless without a mazda!
hahah jk. Apparently those little ae86 corollas are a big item with the young kids who don't know anything about cars. So much so that toyota is making a new model (supposedly).

I heard from some dude that supposedly they might think about making a new one.. but he saw a theoretical picture and it looked like a scion.. which I guess would kinda make sense as Toyota isn't allowed to produce anything that even hints at being fun to drive other than the FJ Cruiser and Tacoma.

I owned an '82 Corolla SR5--actually it was my wife's first and became mine when I traded in my car for a new one for her...
It was such a dog. I mean, really slow. It was an automatic, though. My '83 Sentra with a 1.5L and four speed could run circles around it.
Too bad, because it was kind of a cool looking little hatch.

Aww, c'mon, Matty! Those little things started the drift craze. Cheap, lightweight, well balanced RWD that's got plenty o' room for any kind of swap you can think of.
speaking of which...check out the 3-rotor corolla
