You Need This: Live Out Your Initial D Fantasies

Want to live out those Initial D fantasies? Look no further than Duncan Imports and Classic Cars. They claim to be the biggest importer and seller of Japanese market cars in the U.S., and their website doesn’t disappoint. Curiously enough, the car that caught our eye today was one of the few non-Japanese market cars: this super clean 1984 Toyota Corolla SR5 Coupe for sale for $8900. The seller says its overall condition is a 4.5 out of 5 and it has just 24,574 miles on the clock.

Hrm, that gauge cluster is startlingly similar to the one on my GVR4. I wonder if Mitsu and Toyota sourced them from the same supplier.

When I was parting out my kevlar corolla to fund a scratchbuilt project a stock SR5 hatch with auto was for sale cheap nearby....it took much resistance to not buy it and put my turbo engine/W55 trans/2 way lsd/front and rear coilover setup in it for a pretty fun street car.

I think it is spelled with fewer 'U's.

Hachigo, not hachiroku.

Of course, Itsuki would tell you that the 85 is the thinking man's Trueno.
