Got an AE86, weird model?
Hello guys. I´m Alex, I live in Chile and cars are one of my major hobbies.

I have a turbo miata wich is full of upgrades, and some time ago I got a rare JDM 1986 Toyota Corolla GT (Sprinter GT), which is an AE82 with 4AGELU engine, 4 wheel disc brakes, etc. It was supposed to be a track project to race it in lesser categories that would not allow the miata to run.

The problem is I got hooked with the nice-reving engine, and soon fell in love with the car! now being a RWD-nazi, i just couldn´t take it anymore: the car needed traction on the proper wheels. I searched for a long time, since these cars got in very few numbers to my country (actually the number is 13 hehe).

Last week i finally got it. It´s a 1986 Levin, which has a "GTi" ?? sticker. I don´t know if you guys have ever seen that denomination for a AE86, i´ve searched on the net to no avail. Any way to know if it has LSD other than opening the rear differential?

The car has been poorly maintained, and it´s going to need a lot of work to be competitive, but i´m determined to do it!

The first mods will be removing everything from the interior, installing a full 8-point cage, race seat and harness. Then i will focus on the suspension.


Cheers!

Sorry for the pic quality, my cell phone sucks.
