| Hello everyone. Name is Maloner, just bought a 1985 Toyota Corolla AE86 Sr5 after waiting 10 yrs my dream car is finally mine! Absolutely love it! Now i'm excited to learn what the 4AC has to offer.
Looks like an interesting site, and good people. Look forward to getting to know you all.

| Welcome dude! Don't listen to anyone when they tell you to just trash the 4AC and put in a 4AG, that is the easy way out. Be different and go the path that few follow. But I guess you are already on that path see as that you joined us! Where are you from? How did you come across our little community? You are going to have a lot of fun being a part of us! |

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!
I'm from the Rochester, Minnesota. Going to college at WSU, Minnesota. Recreation Tourism Major.
I believe this site was referenced from Club4AG. I was searching for information on turbocharging the 4AC,  and figured I'd come to the experts. |

Thanks.
Right now, the AE86 is my "winter beater" but really, that was just an excuse to buy one! haha.
I plan on making the car more track orietated, however street legal. Built for the turnsies and occasional tail sliding.

There she is in all her finery. I have some work to do on the front end, hood, driver side fender, grill, and side bumpers.
Other than that, the "frame" is clean and no rust really. Was a California car, moved out here two years ago garage kept. |

Excellent! I'm stoked and will have many questions for sure! Will also keep everyone up to date on progress with it.
Also I don't know if it's possible, but can i multi-qoute posts in a thread? |

It is acutally lowered, but running on cut springs unfortunately. It's also got a negative camber on the passenger side front. You suggest coilovers for it?? |

| Hmm..Coilovers...?What are coilovers? Im jk LOL but really i say no for the fact I made the mistake by buying them cause I wanted to bad to be like my friends and slam the F*** out of my ride. So I droped the 890.00 on some megan coilovers and now I am regreting it. For the fact that "Coilovers are ment for track purposes only" they ride rough and hard and yea it looks good to slam your ride but i mean if its your second car and yougot another car to drive then by all means go for it. Cause over every bump I have to take it slow and even at that my corolla hits hard. I even adjusted it to SOFT setting and its not that great. I say go and buy some springs and call it a day. unless you like to drive hard and take your car to local amature drift events then go all out and buy some coils. But none the less sir your car still looks good with cut springs. I was riding like that the day I got mine. So dont feel left out. |

Thanks Hachigo_moe! I really like it. And yes I did buy it from a guy in Madison. Where are you located in Wisconsin? |

so I'll try and deal with the bumpy ride. If you're interested in selling the megan coilovers, and regaining a more comfortable ride, give me a hollar!
