RWD Toyota
Toyota AE86

For handling and proper vehicle dynamics, rear-wheel drive, simple, and lightweight. For affordability, reliability, and ease of maintenance, Toyotas. Particularly the AE86, also known as the 1985-1987 Corolla GT-S.



I now also own a second Toyota Corolla GT-S. It too has got the right specs: 1600cc, front-engine, four-cylinder, live axle, RWD, and in addition, somewhat practical. This second car is a hatchback I bought for cheap and am in process of building into a trackday car that can also be used on the street. I will be a contrast to my tall, rough and dirty, rally-ready coupe. I hope to make the hatchback clean, good-looking, low, stiff, and fast on tarmac!


Picture of the hatchback shortly after I bought it.
