Wheres that little monkey rubbing one out we had on the APG forums. Put like 40 of those here

you know, Im now thinking, once 93 touches $5/gal I’m going to start looking for an MKI or II Diesel Rabbit or a GTI/Golf or an AE86. Those tiny engines are looking better and better daily as I look at my gas gauge. But no way in hell I wana sell the Audi.

no hotlinking, your pics dont work, host em yoself biotch

gime a min to fix that, my bad :stfu

stupid corollas

Good post :thumb

HORRAY NEGATIVE OFFSET! :banana :banana

Nice rides… A LOT of work has gone into these.

Just a little note though, AE86s are not exactly the primo handler when stock.

For those looking for a little inexpensive beater, you can spend mucho $$ trying to get it to handle well.

Then there’s the question of power, which has to be done through engine swap (again, more $$).

IIRC, this TODA built engine boasts 240hp? Its the stock 16-valve 4AG-E block and head.

I believe the Toda motors are only rented to race teams and must be returned, like your average consumer cannot just buy one of the Toda motors.

what?! thats pretty lame

That’s crazy talk. Anything can be bought :confused

That’s what it said on their site a year or two ago when I was playing on the internet as an ae86 fanboi.

I know those engines aren’t available to the public through TODA, but I know there’s a few on the streets/in private hands.

cant u order parts and build up yours to spec?

I suppose, but some mods are not available., Their porting and I can imagine some custom lower end mods and their ITB’s for the 4A-GE, and especially their tunes are not readily available these days (if ever at all).

ITB tuning. ah yes, the cream of the crop stuff
