first car was my dad's old corolla CSi or something. First car I bought was a toyota sera with a starlet GT turbo engine. Sold that n got a 180sx, then did a strawberry face conversion to that in 2001. In 2002 I bought an R32 GTS V Selection II. In 2004 it got an RB25DET and a TD06 25G. In late 2004 I got sick of breaking my skyline at track events so I got an AE86 for dedicated track work.

falling asleep at the wheel and fucking it into a powerpole was the best thing that could have happened to me!

First car was a ke70 in mustard yellow I bought for 140$....We called it - Merv. the shell was pretty much a rusty exoskeleton held together with bog. it wasn't roadworthy or registered but i drove it around on the road anyway. Last memories I have of merv were flying down a dirt road at like 120 with massive potholes, read end skitting around, and then jumping it... got about a meter of air and subsequently cracked the chassis and body. quite brutal. I kept driving it and eventually the motor gave way and pissed oil everywhere. I left it there over night and came back in te morning and it had been blown up and destroyed. I almost shed a tear... best 140$ ever spent.

2nd car was a sprinter with 4ag in it... had 600 000kms on it. never got it on the road

3rd car is my current 86, and the best by far haha.

First car was a '74 Peugeot 504, Complete with Ducarbon shocks etc. Purchased for $2500 and it lasted for 10 years. Most fun ive had off road

Rust eventually killed it, so i replaced it with a Sil80 SR turbo, modded etc. Stuck to the road like shit to a blanket. Unlucky car though, got beat up on in the car park by the "soccer mums" (J.K http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/smile.gif ) cars too many times.

Sold it for a Subaru Liberty Waggin, for drips to da snow, But its boring as hell to drive, so now i also have my first Hatchi.

And ive also owned a few road/dirt bikes, Current one is a Kawasaki ZX7R

1st car was a poo-brown 1980 KE55 Corolla

then a 1981 Sickma http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/ohmy.gif

then bought my 1st AE86. was ice blue with factory electric sunroof. 1983.

after that got written off, i owned a worked '92 KH2 Laser TX3 4WD Turbo

sold that & bought a '85 Pulsar ET Turbo. joined 'Team Poverty'

then sold that & bought my last AE86, 1985.
fixed the rust in it, resprayed it black, spun a bearing in the 4AGE & installed the 20V.... the rest, as they say, is history. http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/biggrin.gif

sold that for $13k a bit over a year & a half ago.

bought a Yamaha FZR250R to ride & owned that for 4 months before my wife had enough & made me sell it. http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/sad.gif

looknig around at the moment & tossing up between another 86 (or buying my old one back) or someting else cheap & cheerful, such as an GZ Soarer, DR30 Skyline or something similarly chuckable. http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/cool.gif

1978 ke50 imported liftback (red) hand-me-down, still in the back paddock
1987 VL commonwhore (white) hand-me-down
1978 ke50 imported liftback (white) in the other back paddock
1983 AE86 Sprinter (blue) up on Mazda Hill getting some work done

those ke50s were hard as fuck to find (even harder to find in roadworthy condition) and unfortunately also my other favourite car http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/sad.gif .
if anybody knows of one, even in half-decent condition, please let me know, as i would like to get my hands on one that won't cost me $1k+ just to get roadworthy
