I'm considering getting a 4dr one of those as a daily driver. Correct me if i'm wrong, but in the us aircon was available on them. How hard/easy to find a functioning unit?
Secondly, does a power steering kit from a later model fit without problems
Thanks

I'm new to these cars so i don't have the answers to your questions.

i have been driving the car every day and its running good and getting about 30mpg. i added some flat black to the front of the car and its looking better i will try and get some pics up soon

the flat black pix. when i get the car painted i would like to put the pin striping back and put the flat back on the hood.



you can see the custom blinkers in this one there under the head lights.




i know it going to come up the other car in the first pic is my 1987 supra.



i had it out to dust off the nitto's

i finely found a old corolla in a local junk yard. it was a 82 corolla but the body code was AE?? anyway a got a good dome light with working switch and cover. my car was missing the cover and the switch. and i pulled the proper hood latch off it. im going back this weekend to pull the spring out of it. i plane on cutting them and then if for any reason it dont turn out good i will still have the stockers.

whats up man. nice progress. i have an 80 and an 81. i love these cars. do you still need the corner light?i swapped my 81 to the quad setup? looks like the chrome bezel is cracked too?

haven't posted in a long time. i haven't had a pc. so here is an update the corolla is still running. i have got some new used parts from the junk yard like grill, head light trim, corner light cover, and dash parts.

earlier this year i had the old girl out at the drag strip. i ran it in the street class (bracket) and ended up bringing home a trophy. the car ran a blazing high 19. fastest pass was a 19.80 @ 70mph


blue109 sory to flake on you like that.

Bracket racing is all about consistency. And usually the slower the car, the more consistent.

Yeah the car that lasted near the end at my High School drags back in the day was a 80's mazda truck running high 22's lol. Had such a large lead no one could beat him to the line til the end.

yes i got a big start on all the other cars, some could not sit still long enough and turned on the red bulb. the other cars would pass me way before the stripe and break out. there was a slower car that night, some old wagon it ran a 22 but we didn't get lined up. i think he broke out first round. the car was very consistent. i don't have a tac so i just shifted at the same MPH every time. the car reacted so slow i was leaving on the second yellow (5/10 tree) and cutting 01X lights.

OK I was getting my fat butt all comfy in the driver’s seat and POW something let go on the E brake side. Now the back of the seat is crooked like its only being held up on the one side. Is it fixable? Or should I start looking for a new one?
