Im currently doing some engine work on my rolla, and in the next month or so i will probably be in the market for an ae86, now i know that everyone has different opinions on their ideal ae86's, and that is fine, i want to hear them, i will be looking for an ae86 that has already been, or partially modded, so what to look for (probably a $10K budget or so)
It will most likley be a trackish car with occasianal daily usage,as i have the other car mainly for a daily.

- 4AGE 16V, 4AGE 20V blk/slv or 4agz/te - ive seen some blktop 20v's some 4agze's etc, as my rolla will be foreced induction i proably want to stay N/A on this one so 20V is proably what i'll look for - would this be a good move - i dont mind working a motor to get the power out if thats what they need.

Obviously something with an LSD, 2way or 1.5 or doesnt really matter, do i need to look for something with a Jap box and diff or a whole JDM car would be a better bet?

What sort of suspension mods should i look for to determine to buy one car from another, coilovers obviously, braces, brands etc

No rust, i am a hater of rust so i will be looking for something with minimal-no rust

SOMETHING ENGENEERED? with RWC

I can do the all the work myself but im looking at getting one already modded to save me some, good body etc becasue theyre expensive etc.

So what are peoples opinions on what i should look for in a modded ae86, engine combo wise, susp etc

(and no i dont want a kesev, so id prefer if this thread didnt turn into a ke vs. ae86 thing)

my whole interior is practically painted, and it looks factory, but i know what they mean, it ruins a pure car such as a 8-6, i could walk down the street and buy another 8-2 in 10min lol, I've been scouring the net etc and have found a few contenders, a blktop, a silver top and a 16v that appeal to me and the S/T is nightdevils - and it would be well worth the asking price imho.
