The AE86 chassis was available in North America from 1984 to 1987. There were two models available - the SR5 and GT-S. The SR5 sucks, it is carbed and has only 70-some horsepower. The GT-S on the other hand is very nice, it has the 4AGE engine. 1.6-liter DOHC 16-valve, 112 hp, 7500 RPM redline. Doesn't sound like a lot of power but keep in mind they are at least 400 pounds lighter than an S13. Both were available in coupe or hatchback (I have a coupe). The GT-S was also available with a limited slip rear end. Very nimble little car that is extremely fun to drive.
