Build an AE86 restoration parts list around the car’s body, engine and installed equipment before choosing upgrades. Start by separating essential repairs from cosmetic restoration and optional performance work. A single list of “AE86 parts” cannot describe every Corolla, Levin, Trueno, SR5, GT-S or modified application.
Identify the car you have
Record chassis information, market, production date, body style, trim, engine and transmission. Check whether the brakes, rear axle, steering and suspension remain original. Use the AE86 identification guide and SR5 versus GT-S parts-fitment guide before making assumptions from badges or exterior appearance.
Turn the project into a practical parts list
| Project area | Planning question | Useful details to collect |
|---|---|---|
| Interior | Which worn pieces can be replaced independently? | Dashboard style, trim attachments, transmission and body configuration. |
| Exterior | Does the part match this body and appearance? | Coupe or hatchback details, mounting points, photos and product notes. |
| Cooling | Does the cooling component match the installed engine? | Engine, transmission, hose connections, mounting and clearance. |
| Exhaust | Does the part match the existing exhaust arrangement? | Engine, body, flange arrangement and any prior exhaust changes. |
| Chassis and brakes | Is the system still in its factory configuration? | Installed brake package, suspension components, wheel clearance and modifications. |
Choose a sequence for the work
Inspect the car and obtain a written repair plan before buying a large group of parts. Resolve structural, fluid-leak and functional concerns before investing in finish pieces that might need to be removed again. Keep an itemised list with the exact part number, quantity, fitment checks and supporting hardware required. Use manufacturer instructions and professional advice for safety-critical systems.
Shop by the job
- AE86 interior parts for the cabin refresh.
- AE86 exterior parts for body and exterior details.
- AE86 cooling parts for the supported engine applications.
- AE86 exhaust parts for repair and upgrade planning.
For brake work, start with the AE86 brake identification guide. For suspension choices, compare the existing rear-bushing guide and sway-bar guide; parts should support a coherent build rather than being chosen independently.
Before you order
Send Preserve Rad the vehicle year, model, trim, engine, drivetrain and relevant modifications, together with the product link and clear photos of the existing part. Include the production date and measurements when an application depends on them. Request fitment help.
This is a parts-selection and project-planning guide. Use the appropriate Toyota service information and the component manufacturer’s instructions for inspection, installation and specifications. A vehicle collection covers multiple applications; a part in that collection does not fit every vehicle in the range.
