Hi,
Welcome to the world of AE86 ownership
What are you setting the car up for?
Street, Track, Drift?
Depends on your budget aswell,
I'd go for suspension, then a 4AGE engine conversion

as above, get you suspension sorted and get a feel for the car. that way when you do an engine swap you'll know how control all the extra power!
also, if heading in the NA direction a smallport motor is your best option.

thanks for the suggestions its for street use but might take it on the track for a bit of a slide as well but im more intersted in handling than power also just wondering your thoughts on the 3sge instead of the 4age
3sge makes more power and tourqe. but with the 4age u cant beat the NA revving. 3sge is a little bit more stuffing around to transplant but still quite simple. the beams 3sge is and ugly looking motor
4age is a proven win. Cheap and simple.
There is a lot you can do suspension wise, depends on budget.
2nd that. It is a good place to start motor wise and pretty realistic money wise for most.
And yeah what's the budget??

thanks guys im a second year apprentice so the budgets not too high but just keep saving and putting money into it so i reckon ill go the 4age also wondering about suspension what height and stiffness will make it still be semi drivable on the roads i live in sa where the roads are bloody horrible lol also anyone got any suggestions for rims apart the obvious that are fair cheap
4age is good, but expensive to get power from in NA form.
3sge is better in the long term. as 4age is slower than a lot of new cars..... keep in mind its not all about corners as u dont drive ONLY on touge every day lol. so something with a bit of straightway power is nice
lol at white people in japan. just lol.
