Yeah for an econobox the chassis is remarkably well tuned. Throw in the 2.3L and 5 speed and its a surprisingly fun little car

yup mine (pic related) was the 2.3L 5speed. I wanted to get an exhaust and maybe a few bolt ons for it but the aftermarket was damn near nonexistant.

I remember asking a bunch of my normie friends to guess what year the car was based on the interior when they sat in it, for all thought it was 2008-2012

>>16679624
Yeah people are surprised when I tell them the design is from ~2003.

If it wasn't for the rust issues on earlier models, I'd say they aged really well

You're a fucking retard.
Digidash was an option for the AE86.

I like the mkv wheel but I've never touched a newer one.

Supposedly people who think red and blue look good together are prone to mental issues. I'm not trying to insult you I don't mean retardation I heard it was psychopathy or a personality disorder. Red and another color would look good, and blue and another color would look good, but and red and blue just doesn't do anything for me.

can't believe someone posted this. I had a 2.0i, and it was great (and fucked). The steering wheel felt so proper and nice... the steering was noticeably better than modern fwd vehicles of course... even my current 97 civic feels like shit when compared.


whet I cant believe is nobody mentioning omps. a friend has one on his 106 sport and feels really cool. I want it for my gf's next car, for sure (aiming for a 1.4 saxo vts with un-assisted steering... oh god that feel...)

I'm going to have to say 'No' to bare steel spokes with squared corners. Catch a rut or a curb, the wheel whips and you'd better get your thumbs out of the wheel. Or lose them.

I hate most aftermarket steering wheels, but Italvolantis are great.

I have a 1985 Celica GT-S with the stock 2-spoke steering wheel. The only steering wheels I'll consider are factory Toyota ones like from an AE86 or a Celica GT-TR or something like an Italvolanti. I'll probably just keep the factory one though since I hate wheel adapters.

If you're bitching about crazy overcomplicated modern interiors then you should get a WRX.

Some people complain that it's too austere, but it's actually a pretty nice place to be - super simple.
