new to the forum

Post by canyon_carvers »

Hello fellow 86 enthusiast. I am new to the forum and I registered to be a member because there are a lot of information here I could use. I'll introduce myself: My name is Jim and I live in the state of 10,000 lakes (Minnesota) and had owned my 86 for almost 6 years. I bought it from a enthusiast in San Diego through Club4ag. I enjoy running road course event (car is set up for road racing) and rarely attend drift event. I don't drift my car but I do enjoy watching it. Here's are some photos & videos of my car.

thanks for the warm welcome. To:ga_goosh, I took the zenki door decal off because both side was craking up and passenger side door moulding was in horrible shape so off it went. I decided to get the koukie decal because it was affordable and still available (through the toyota I work for) and the Zenki decal are way too expensive.

definitely like the smaller decal, the bigger one seems cheesy imo, nice coupe though :tu:

Welcome to the Garage Jim. I'm with Dave - the Kouki decals look better being less pronounced by not being so freakishly big. The two A's (availability & affordability) are also big factors ;).

Great looking coupe, color combo and setup. :tu:

Thanks again and big thanks to Dr.Occa who had been very helpful when I was doing my carb conversion! I been surfing the forum and it's pretty awesome! A lot of information available. Don't know why I didn't join it in the 1st place when I bought my 86?... ^_^
