    Default Nathans AE86

    Hey Im Nathan I have owned my AE86 for a few months now.It wasn't much to look at or drive when I bought it but its a good starting point. The 4ac didnt last long before it come out and alot of the car stripped for painting.
    The car had a bit of rust in the hatch and in the back right panel but is all getting cut and repaired. I have no idear on a colour or anything yet cant decide so any suggestion would be good .

    I have so far got a set or sport max 513 wheels coilovers and a 4agze to get the project started

    Hi thanks for replys

    Happy people like the colour was the hardest thing to decide on lol.

    I'm not sure if the power is low for that turbo I'll have to look into it. The engine getting a bit tired so might have something to do with it.

    Haha it can be very tail happy at times can't wait to have a go at the track.
