new guy from south texas

Post by joshiroku »

hello everyone my name is josh and i hail from corpus christi tx, i found this forum through aaron who is making the fc caliper adapter kits and brad, another ae86 driver that is local to the houston area. ive had a couple of ae86 over the years my first one having a 12a carbed and ported rotary, my second and current 86 had a 20v w/megasquirt and now has a lexus 1uz swap. i registered here to gather useful information on the modifications that are being done and to hopefully provide info on topics i have experiance with that are ae86 related.

im not a drifter, but its a driving skill id love to get more seat time in. im a pretty avid road racer though and i currently run in the nasa texas circuit in time trials and attend south texas area porsche club track events where im a certified instructor.

i prefer the ae86 chassis because of its flexibility and light weight, i like the way it looks and always have....plus its one of the few small cars i fit comfortably in...my favorite thing about it is its underdog status when playing with the big dogs (porsches and corvettes) out on the road course...chasing down a 100k porsche or modified vette in my mid eighties shitbox is what i live for..i do all my own work on my car and truly appreciate what it takes to get these cars to perform.

hope to make a meet sometime to see more than one other corolla in a parking lot at one time.
