There are plenty of reasons why Brandon Most purchased the 1985 Toyota Corolla GT-S. “Because it's an import icon,” Most writes. “I’ve owned and currently own a lot of 80's Toyotas and the build quality is second to none. It’s old enough to let me drive it and not try to drive itself.” So far, Most has modified the GT-S with TRD engine mounts & spark plug wires, EXEDY Carbon R single clutch and Techno Toy Tuning coilovers. “Current plans call for more time spent restoring a few remaining parts of the car to new-stock appearance.”
