Hell yeah brother!! That GTS has a factory Toyota limited slip diff in the back!! I've autocrossed both a Hatchback GTS and a 2 door GTS and I love em. Definately easy to get sideways. As they say in Japan, the "hachi roku" (8 6, a slang term for its chassis # AE86) is the Drift King!!

If you want to get serious with it, then find a wrecked 1988-1989 MR2 with a 4A-GZE, which is the Supercharged version of that engine, and since that engine was offered stateside, it is a smog legal swap.
The 4A is a GREAT engine, but man oh man does it ever come alive with a bit of boost :boozer: Get it up to 12-ish psi and you're looking at an increase of about 40 ft-lbs torque, which is a good 80 ft-lbs more than the stock normally aspirated engine. That's nearly doubling the torque output and its still all smog legal :thumbs:

American Specs:
Stock Normally Aspirated form,　4A-GE: 112hp / 97tq
Stock Super Charged form, 4A-GZE: 144hp / 140 tq

Japanese Specs:
Stock Normally Aspirated form, 4A-GE: 138hp / 109tq
Stock Super Charged form, 4A-GZE: 170hp / 152tq

Dang Japanese Market, why do they get to have all the fun :dunno: If we only could have 100+ octane fuel at every street corner

Sounds like another cool trip Mikey.
Nothin like breakin the ice by gettin naked with dad and pourin hot water over yourselves. Sounds like the express route to getting to know each other.

Though about you the other day when I had one of the sushi chefs out on the boat and he served us up some smoked taco head. mmmmmmmmmmm good.

Ok, So I am finally gonna get my 2 cents in!  :tantrum: Mikey, I am mad that you made plans to spend the day with Tim (sorry Tim :sad2:) When I live down here and an hour away from LAX.  :smack: What happened to family love?  :love: You could have at least made plans to stop by!  :maddest: I see how it is!!! :rivers: If Misato was coming back with you she would have visited.  :beerchug:  It would have given me a chance to pic on you!  :biked: Anyway, glad to hear things are going well. Last but not least  :rara: HI MISATO!!! WE MISS YOU!!! HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON!!! :cheer:

Don't stroke her too much, she'll barely be able to get through the door with her head so big.
Besides, she went and married that other guy.......who doesn't even like wheelin.......instead of me. Can you imagine????? Don't know what she was thinkin.

You shouldn't be bashin your bro anyway, you never call or write me anymore either.
My wittle feelings are hurt. LOL
