Lol. No one has for 6 years!
It is however on the long slow road back to being whole and running.

I don't think I've EVER seen yours hahah.
My Corolla might be going that way too tbh, get rid of the 20v problems once and for all!

Just trying to weigh up options at the moment.

:cry: hahah.

Hopefully, most of the issues will be ironed out at the start and kept on top of.
The loom is currently being investigated and connections made properly where they are just twisted and taped :roll:

Just want to start spending money on parts, not repairs :lol:

Are there many 86s north of the border?
I know of a Panda Hatch that spectates at Driftland a fair bit, can't remember whether it's a Levin or Trueno.
There's also one of the Irish Lads who keeps his Gold Trueno Coupe F20c at Driftland too.
Ewan's Trueno hatch went south of the border to Kev.

Can't think I've seen many/any others :/


You've got mine as well. Although no one has seen it for a long time haha

Theres a few guys up there.. Colin Mees has the Trueno, Arran Morrison has a white Levin Hatch. Barry Stevenson drifts a KE70 with 1uz up at driftland a lot too.

Other than that I think its few and far between!


Chris was saying he's looked at it a few times for various people, apparently the previous owner had blown up 2 16v in the past.
It's a pretty funked up wiring solution at the moment. If it gives me jip, I might end up going standalone with the plan to Turbo it eventually...possibly.

Alan has already said to me "Don't be disappointed if you come back in a week and it has a CA or an SR in it" :P

Forgot about the KE70 oddly enough, haven't seen it out a huge amount since the SR came out of it.

All the better for more smiles of people hahah

nice car.. I tried to buy it off the previous owner a few years ago but he wouldn't sell! Theres a few 86 guys up your way luckily so you'll not be short of people to share the struggle of 86 ownership with!


Cheers buddy :)

I think, in this case, you might have been lucky...
Will be glad when it's back on the road, currently back-tracing the loom, trying to fault find and get her started! :roll: Can't wait to hear those trumpets again :D

Not too sure I like the sound of "struggle of 86 ownership" though :lol:
