okay i want to add power windows and power mirrors to my ae86 (1986 toyota corolla SR5) how hard would it be to do this, i am already adding a second battery and alt for the stereo so that should free up a little power on the factory wires

SPAL makes a good easy to install aftermarket power windows kit, as far as power mirrors, I have never seen an aftermarket kit for that, but doesn't mean they don't make it.!!!!!

If you cannot find one, you can check out a local junk yard and find a car like yours that has power mirrors and buy the components and do the wiring yourself.

I have a 1988 Corolla and it has power mirrors and the mirrors are the same as they are on yours.

Later,

Go to any junk yard and look for your car that has the power windows already installed. I did this for my 84 Celica and they bolt in without a hitch...

Getting a factory PW system from the same car the junkyard has its advantages, especially make it easier to mount in the door itself. What can be harder is wiring a factory system because they often go through factory computer modules or are just plain wired goofy. Also, I had a 90 corolla, i know from experience, they don't make many of these cars with all the options, so it is nearly impossible to find one of these cars in the junkyard with these options on it.

Good luck though.
