No idea, haven't assessed the mods done to the car yet. Here's the description that I got while buying the car:
Code:
1983 / 124,500 km millage / 5MT  / Crash and repair record unknown
PS / Air-con / CD / DVD / Navigation / Toyota genuine body kits / ETC / Low down / No smoking
Painted again with Toyota genuine same color
No circuit drive / Exterior and interior all stock
No crack on dash board /  tower bar front and rear / Revolver ex-manifold / 60mm stainless exhasut
LW flywheel / racing clutch / TRD all mount and bushes / Suspension kits / TRD LSD
Cusco stabilizer front and rear / Racing ratelar rod / Racing brake pads and line and hose
Toh fook / Long hub bolts / Advan A3A wheels / Cusco oil catch tank / Nagai plug wires / New battery
I'm not sure about all these points, for example it can't be repainted, still has the original stickers that are starting to flake due to age.

Toh Fook is here)) red rings on front and rear bumpers - tow hook probably, transliteration from katakana may cause this magic...

My car even older than I.

Nov. 1985 kouki Trueno hatchback AE85, with 86s suspension, @3A + A42DL, RHD

What exhaust and performance mods in your 86?

I bought it almost stock on January and I'm still on the basic repairs.

Exhaust is stock as far as I know, only a cosmetic final (which I don't like).
It has a set of KONIs with APEX springs all around. Stock engine, stock brakes.

I'm willing to restore the brake calipers, buy new rotors and pads and replace the master cylinder, as it leaks.

Then I'm gonna fix the KONIs and buy new springs -probably custom.

I'm also on a hunt of some nice wheels, so I can buy new tires too.
In addition I must buy poly bushings all around, adjustable pan-hard bar and front strut bar.

After these, I'm going to refresh the engine a bit and then collect parts to make a proper 7AG.

Such a nice Trueno Huh best first car ever Cool

I've also got a set of Advan's A3A on mine, impressive lightweight wheels. Handling and steering feel/response was improved vastly when I changed the heavy stockers. Also, loving the brown/red interior.

Enjoy the car with the nice roads you've got in your beautiful country! Thumbs up!

I most certainly do enjoy it a lot! Also funny that an AE86 would be my first car, considering I'm significantly younger than the car. It just gives me that special kind of feeling we all love about it.

Also, small update: Got the LSD rebuild kit from Techno Toy Tuning delivered. Will figure out how to lift the car and drop the rear axle as soon as it's a little warmer (0 degrees and rain right now). Will install the C's short shifter next and then clean up the inside of the rear quarter panels from dust and gunk around the drain holes. Still waiting on the upholstery.

A good jack and axle stands will do the trick. You can lift the car on the diff itself and then put the axle stands under the rear jacking point of the sill. Make sure you put a solid blocker in front of the car so it can't roll away. Also have the axle stands at the highest position for better access and enough slack for the axle to drop. Last but not least, in your case it's probably best if you park it forward so you can roll the axle out, rather than pulling it out from the side.

PS: Having the jack still under the diff when removing the dampers helps to remove some tension, just be sure the car remains firm on the axle stands. You should be able to pull her off in a couple hours by yourself.
