i first really wanted to get into drifting, never had the chance ect and then i moved out to arizona, and ive been doing track events and have been in 3 cars here in arizona haha.
my first chassis was an 85 coupe sr5, then i had a 240sx, then a 87 gts coupe and now im in an 86 gts hatch.
the hatch started as a stock gts, car came out of cali bought it from my freind here in arizona for 1800$. I transfered all parts from my wrecked gts coupe over to the hatch. took a vaction back home to washington where my built carb 16v was sitting, put it on a pallet and shipped it to arizona. spent a week in my single car apartment garage swapping motors.
car had tons of issues as with any major swap, going from EFI to carb was a pain in the arse. i made a full custom wiring harness, my own fuel system and custom fit parts.
I drove the car, had many issues, got it pretty well fixed and drove it, drifted the crap out of it. Then decided i need a cage, used tax return money to build a custom cage. I did 1 3/4" .095 wall DOM tubing, i got the materials from a friend for a discounted price and he bent up the main hoop. I then brought it over to friend efrians shop suspicious garage and went to work. This was my first cage i ever built and the biggest fabrication work ive ever done. I think it came out quite well and it was some of my first welding, and it came out decently well and it fits awesome/.
so thats where im at now, i plan on hitting as many events as i can and tearing it up. Its sad as i seem to be the only corolla in arizona drifting.
