85 coupe from California
Hey what's up, my name is Erik and I drive an 1985 Corolla Gt-s coupe. I absolutely love my car and the corolla community. My 4ag bluetop is currently getting rebuilt. Can't wait to get her back on the road!

*i will upload a few pics when I can*

Thanks!

The bluetop is undergoing a stock rebuild. Don't want anything to it just yet. I want to learn from a stock engine first by going to as many autocross events as i can and possibly a drift event or two. Then over time build that engine, swap in a 20v later. I've only been to 1 autocross event :/ since then the car has had problems but everything should be taken care of once this rebuild is finished Thumbs up!

I'm from Merced, which is in Central Valley

The car has been sitting for about 5 months now :/ I can't wait to drive it!
The piston rings were blown out. I'm pretty sure that they were in bad shape when i bought the car almost a year ago. No problem tho, now i'm going to have a nice fresh 4ag Hurray!
