TW - '85 Corolla Ae86 w/ 3sgte (+420whp) - Broward Cnty
Whats up everyone. I don't have the time or money right now to complete my corolla project so I want to gauge interest in buyers. I have the title and the car is garage kept.
I would like to ask $9500. I would like to see if its worth me selling or just hold onto it until I have the resources to make it one of the most awesome corollas in Florida.
85 Sr-5 (manual conversion) - extra extra clean
3rd Gen 3sgte (all stock never opened - tuned to 8k redline)
Celica transmission
Act clutch + fidanza flywheel (new less than 1k miles)
Supra Rear end + Locker Diff.
Rx-7 radiator
DTA ECU w/ traction controll / launch control / boost control - installed by DTA tech.
tuned for up to 26psi on 103 octane = +420hp @ wheels
currently runs 15 psi + cracked exhaust manifold = 13 psi
custom engine/trans brackets - needs new motor mounts
Custom intake plenum on stock runners (one runner is cracked)
Custom exhaust - manifold to muffler - 3 inch (manifold is cracked)
25g turbo with small exhaust housing (great shape - makes boost from 4k to redline)
Greddy Type R bov
HKS big boy waste gate
large intercooler (from izuzu truck)
Custom one piece drive shaft
Car is put together very strong - has been put together for a couple of years but very rarely driven. handles power and doesnt break itself. all parts work together well. i purchased from my mechanic - was his shop car and all issues and installs were done by him. car has no gremlins or issues - all is sorted out. car is crazy fast with proper exhaust manifold + 26psi + 103oct = motorcycle fast. super sleeper. redline fluids throughout and mobile one in engine.
other stuff :
Wilwood 4pistons w/ extra set of street pads (aggressive race pad on now)
Quaife steering rack (orignal manual rack)
Custom coilvers front w/ 6.2kg springs + short stroke shocks (tokiko drag shocks)
TRD (4.3kg) springs w/ agx rear
Tein camber plates
STB front and rear
complete urethane bushing set Fr + Rr
custom adjustable control arms / panhard (car launches straight up)
Konig rewinds w/ 205-50 Falken azenis - purchased new w/ less than 1k miles
buddy club titanium lugs
new rear pads and rotors
new clutch master with synthetic fluid
new brake fluid
new front wheel bearings
momo steering wheel
misc. gauges greddy egt / autometer boost -oil press.
titanium shift knob
HID's
celica pedals
new starter
buddy club oil cap
Issues:
body - has few primer spots where rust was removed
speedo not working (rpms do work)
exhaust manifold all messed up cracked like crazy - needs a new one / new design
needs motor mounts
needs repair to intake manifold runner
rx-7 radiator is kinda dated - needs new aluminum one
paint is faded but in great shape.
i was going to put a jdm front end + racing seats + cage + fix exhaust issues and rule the streets.....
pics:
this is dated pic of engine bay - no stb or camber plates
current pics will be taken soon. please bump and feel free to chime in on price if high or low - or if its even worth it to sell!
and on another random note I am the same owner of this car - '87 corolla that was purchased by "taka" and "marksaccord" from way back. this car kicked ass and the one i have for sale now kicks even more ass way harder.

The car looks like it would be a blast to drive. But honestly with all of the issues you have listed I think the price is too much. For the price you're asking you'd need a cash buyer who can appreciate the work that you've done, and that'll be hard to find IMHO. Especially with the list of things that aren't up to par. Just adding my opinion, and treat it as such. I'm in the market for a car at less than what you're asking, and I wouldn't pay that much for this.
Good luck with the sale.
