Well right now I am getting her drivable. Replacing the master cylinder, clutch slave assembly, and putting on some TRD springs(Someone cut the stocks

), TRD header, HKS Sport Exhaust, and Tokico HTS shocks. Then I am going to replace the rear panels, there is a tid bit of rust on the bottom. The car is originally from Pennsylvania. Beef up the four link suspension in the rear and replace the LSD. But after all that I am may turbo it. Just depends on the power craze at the time. That time should be at the end of the summer. So we will see.

There isn't anywhere to drift around here, road wise. Plenty of parking lots but no good roads. I may have to come up there with a couple friends, who all have 240's. Get an annual meet going or something of the sort.

Nice find there is a lady in my area that has one, rumour has it she might be getting ready to sell it. Hopefully I might be able to get it from her for a good price.

Wow that is one immaculate hachi! She looks *AMAZING*! keep the pictures coming.... we've already got two red hachis here, so it's nice to throw a black one in the mix!

WOW!
It looks like you found yourself a li'l gem!
She looks like she's in GREAT shape!!!
And a GTS, nonetheless!

I found a li'l red SR-5 a while back for $1000 cash.
She wasn't running too well when I pulled off the lot...
but a basic tune-up, and she's running well.
I've got a 4A-GZE motor from and AE111 Levin lined up for'r.

How many miles did your GTS have on it??? Keep us posted on the pics,
and welcome to the forum!!!

It has 147,459 miles on it. It also has the LSD, which needs to be replaced but it has one. More pics on the way after I get the springs and exhaust on.

147K ain't bad at all... especially considering it's already got the LSD. I really like the GTS seats too. I got shafted hard on my seats (and my motor as well). Your Hachi looks great!
Keep us posted with pictures...
My eyes never tire of the eight-six.
