Hey everyone i just thought i'd put my new toy on here for you's to look at... it's a 1984 model AE86 Toyota Sprinter here are some things that have been done to it (courtesy of DriftPimp) * 4agze from aw11 mr2 * completely engineered * rebuilt t50 box * 2 1/3" exhaust to 4" tip * brass button clutch if you dont recognise the car... its Sway's old GZE Sprinter... i got it for $3500 about 2 months ago.... i found out about 5 days ago that it has either a cracked head or a blown head gasket.....hopefully its just a gasket...and i think that the clutch is rooted as well... thats how it came  i'll keep everyone posted on my progress with the car...        Catch ya's... Kyle |

well, it seems like everything at the moment... i had the head crack tested and it passed, i also replaced the head gasket. because my dad told me that there was combustion gas getting into the cooling system...(ps my dad is a mechanic) and i cant work out how else it would be getting in...plus the clutch needs replacing, and now it wont idle, or rev properly. so im gonna take the car downt to my dads place, or try to at least and get him to help me with it
