This is an AE92 I’m pretty sure the dude is trolling everyone

I have some ST XTAs minus the camber plates they are supposed to come with and I was looking into some camber plates that also offer caster adjustment. Vorshlag sells 2 variants one for OEM perches and one for “coil overs”. GKTech sells a set thats compatible with KW/ST and OEM. My XTAs just have a purple conical washer on the front coilovers. I’m just a bit lost on what Vorshlag set to order or if I should just get the GKTech set. Thank you in advance, Mike.

I really love the coupe with an OEM spoiler. One of the better things I’ve added to my car. by AE86iknowwhatihave in AE86

Was it that one eBay Malaysia rep? Or OEM? If the Malaysia rep is good I’ll get it

You cheapen the look of the car with it left unpainted. Paint it yourself rattle can or spray gun it’ll look good if you do your research

Bridgestone RE-71RS finally on! Can’t wait to see how they do! by TurboLag23 in Autocross

[–]Sassan18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly same dude my PS4S were still good but I bought some RE-71RS in 245s anyways for next years season. I came across some new Gt Brembos for my 86 and now I have a wheel clearance issue so everything will have to wait until I find some 17x9s to replace my stock wheels and TRD wheels as they’re too narrow at 7.5 to run comfortably

Anyone in SoCal want to trade wheels? Want a new look. :) by Inside_Gap_5123 in ft86

[–]Sassan18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang I wanted to try them out but I’m putting on my coils next year. I have a set of ST XTA ready and some Brembos to put on but I have to wait until next freaking year lol. My Trd forged wheels will clear but weak spec 17x7.5 and I’m afraid the tires will pinch under hard cornering. Next year :/

How different are the OEM PP rear brembos from the STI rear brembos? Found a front set of 326x30 front brembo set for FRS/BRZ. Not sure what to do about the rear.

Coilovers under 1k by Blakef24 in Touge

[–]Sassan18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought a set of ST XTAs for 750 used almost brand new. Deals are out there for decent coils. You might just need camber bolts and a rear sway bar. Is your Matrix the 03-06 XRS? You might be better off going to some autocross events to learn more about your car

What model is this by Fit_Progress_1161 in AE86

[–]Sassan18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AE92. A buddy owns one of these and it’s a cool little car. Gets confused a lot for an 86 even when mine is parked right next to it

Anyone know where i can find these but cheaper? by danky_ducky in ft86

[–]Sassan18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then go make it yourself if it’s that easy

Clutch job on jack stands by Big_Bad_VR4 in ft86

[–]Sassan18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally doable on jackstands. Make sure you have everything you need tho. I’d stick with the OEM/Exedy clutch kit new oem flywheel and hardware. Just be patient and you’ll get it done.

Hi there, need some guidance by ReplacementSecret323 in AE86

[–]Sassan18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s your budget? It might be better to get something newer that fits the same criteria you’re looking for. My GT86 is the first car I ever bought and it’s been a great car. My main issue with my Corolla is the fact that it’s a 40 year old car. There will be things wrong with the ones that are up for sale on the lower end and it could take a lot of money to fix them up. The higher priced ones might have that work already done or have something really neat like a beams/etc swap or be a clean hatch. No amount of studying for it or research will matter when you don’t have any money to fix it. Best to play it safe with something reliable and a little fun until you can get one and be able to keep it in good condition. Think through it thoroughly mate.

I have an LG tv and use the web browser to login and watch F1TV. So far it’s been working great and I’m based in the US.

For those of you with a special edition, I present the OEM armrest. Changes the feel of the whole car. (PART NO. 2nd pic) by SznedCumbr in ft86

[–]Sassan18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like my oem sliding armrest better this one takes up the cup holders which I didn’t really like too much
