HAHAHA.. oh yessss you can forget my people......

Orion, it has been a while since you've chimed in with your oblivious statements, I think its best that you crawl back down the hole.

1st off, what other "80's econobox" do you see in the Formula D events or other Main stream events go up against 800hp Vipers, Corvettes, Skylines ect and tear a new one in them?
2nd, the car was never meant to be the ShowStopper that they can become.
3rd, I'll stop here and just let you chime out and go back to googling your info

They're only popular BECAUSE of Initial D and being used by the "Drift King." They would still be popular with Puerto Ricans if it werent for those two, but not popular outside of that.

1) How much of the original car is kept intact for Formula D anyways? Also, that event is so much more driver than car. USDM Corollas are just ugly anyways.
2) So you're reinforcing what I was saying?
3) I learned a lot about my car before and during my time owning it. If you dont remember, I was the second owner of an all original GT-S. I still have the records kept on the car, and I think the pictures of it taken years ago when it was still "pretty."

Maybe my standards are higher because I only buy good cars, but I wasnt impressed with it. I was very happy with it and to have it, but without dumping a ton of money into it, its quite far from impressive.

Also, if I hated it, I wouldnt want to buy mine back.

What about my car? Its everything the AE86 is but better, which is why I dont "miss" my car per se.

Common is good. Lets you blend in and avoid being pulled over. It also means more and cheaper replacement parts.

I wasnt going to say you dont know shit about Miatas, but Im sure you know that the only differences between an LE and any other 93 is some leather and BBS'.

Anyways, I didnt mean to ruin your thread, its just annoying when people think every RWD Corolla is hot shit. I know my car isnt "the shit" either.

and if it has a 2t-c in it then up to the 3tc they are really cheap and you can make decent power if you look for parts paradise racing makes some awsome parts to put you over the top and keep it carbed so ie easier tuning
