help me! thinking of Selling my KE70! :(

[tetsujin]

ok folks, i have a probem.

part of me wants to sell my KE and get an 86.

But to be honest, I am not 100% sure why! :D


I think, i like the idea of a more track/stripped, caged up car and to me, I wouldn't want to do that to my KE, I like it with the std seats and stuff, it just looks 'right'.

I also think I like the ideaof a car that isnt so perfect etc, as with my KE, everything was so neat and clean but I hate it getting dirty, how gay is that!!


so, if i go an ae86 I could get over all the above but it wont make/save me any cash, and i am scared it will be a huge mistake too but part of me says o it??

thoughts....




this is my KE...

obv, i will get the ae first, swap over all the best bit of both onto the car I keep and then sell the KE on.

[HachiRoku]

I like your KE way better than that '86, better than most in fact. But I know what you mean about having a nice clean car that's too 'precious' to thrash. I think cars are at their most fun being driven hard, which is why, if I were you, I'd buy something a bit scruffy, drop the goodies from the KE in, and have some fun without worrying overly about appearances.

86 thrasher ke cruiser, problem solved

[chapl]

hard decision for you mate! your ke is the only ke ive ever liked! lol
I'm bias so id say get the coupe....

[Matt-AE86]

Thats a nice coupe but you should hold onto your keto. I think the reason why you want to sell it is because you don't have hishinos like the 86 next to your car in the photo.

Keep your car. It's well nice, or if you can afford, have both.

[samc]

and if you can't afford both a 86 and your ke, just get another ke to thrash.

[MountainRunner]

i knew this would happen! the ke70 is to good to trash around uve spent alot of time and money into it and you would
hate to see it wrecked

just get another cheap ke70 4age coilovers diff and keep sliding!

[biggo]

hit a gutter

problem solved

one of the only ke's i like aswel lol
and like other people said,
get another ke and do the very basic mods to make it a fun thrasher

[johl]

funny situation. most people don't wanna hurt an 86 so they buy a ke thrasher.
although ur ke is the hottest one i'v seen i would buy a coupe and combine both cars to make one awesome 86. and sell the ke as a complete running car with the bits left over.
basically no matter what you do to a ke no one will pay more than maybe 6k realistically. but as soon as u re shell ur bits into an 86 you will get alot more interest if it ever comes time to sell. thats my way of thinking and when i crash my ke or whatever thats what i will be doing.

[v-tec]

don't do it, ke70 is your thing!! Dammit where is Gilly when ya need him????? :unsure:

More reason to not do it later

[Ksevn-T]

Your brown Ke70 is BOSS! :iluvff: If i was in your position i wouldn't sell it, but buy another one.

[ae71neo]

Thats crazy talk. :wub: your ke70.

[MINIHORSE]

Ive owned a very clean example of both, but i for some reason prefered to take my ke out purely because i think it had moe character, to be honest, id keep both then have the best of both worlds

[tetsujin]

cheers folks.

As you know, I live in the UK and a KE70 is a very rare car to see for sale that isnt a rusty POS.

Also, AE86 fetch alot of money to but are easier to get due to jap imports and there is more of a following as you can guess as there just a more popular car.


I don't know what to do! :(

just think bout how much blood sweat and tears went into bilding your ke, you will regret it

[aaron_drift]

Do not sell your KE. that would be crazy.

You have 4 -doors, carry more people comfortably. and boot space.

Yes i love 86's. but if i had a ride like that, i wouldn't bother getting a 86.

[dr1ft-pig]

don't ask questions..... :P

give it a few weeks, maybe even put it for sale and see what your offered

doing this will make you realise how much u don't want to do it

this is what i did

and hey i kept my 86

[Robo86]

don't sell it, its sick

[marvis]

Your ke > that 86

[aaron_drift]

What Brendan (drift pig) said is true.

I did the same thing, put my car up for sale.

U just end up realising, why the fuk am i selling it?

[Sherlock]

Its got everything an 86 would...and looks just as dope. Keep it.

Lol... and thats different to us because.... ?

yeah don't sell it man.. i always wanted a hachi, way before i got my ke. I bought one... but i quickely came to realise that (like the ke70) theyre no way near as fun unless they got all good parts in them.

Both cars are phat when done right, but the ke's are a rarity to see someone properely spend theyre hard earned and build up with the amount of enthusiasm and detail that youve done.

Also, there is absolutely no reason why a track car cannot be neat and clean. Spend the extra and get that cage put in properely, and if you really want to, paint it. Also unless you truck a heap of people around all the time, it shouldnt be too hard to fit a cage with rear seats... they might not be usable though lol


OR

Have both

[stahlz_ae86]

Listen to aaron and brendan, they obviously know what they're talking about. I've been there too, both times with different cars, still own both and I'm glad i do.

Do not sell your car, you will regret it.

But don't baby it either, let it get dirty, dirt washes off, it is a car after all.

[deleta]

lol see your ke and ill have to get a ticket to europe and come kick your ass

[ae86hachiroku]

haha funny situation..

normally the KE is the thrasher and an AE is a "my precioussss"

track spec the ke :)

[slydar]

the only thing id add is your ke is a bit of a "keeper"

i see people with my old cars also and sometimes what theyve done with them "annoys" me.

and i should add none of my old cars are quite as good as your ke.. i would say keep it, keep the drifting to that track where youre unlikely to really bend it, and keep a look out for a really cheap ke or 86... build it up rough as..

[R1CHYY]

BOTH!!! don't sell, get a thrasher

[Shahzan]

howbout keep ur KE and get an 86.... so ull hav 2 car....

[tetsujin]

Thanks for all your imput guys.

After a few sleepless nights (why do car make that happen to you! :D) ive decided to just keep the KE.

I can't afford another AE86 as here in the UK there is no such thing as a cheap AE86! hahaha :)


I think, I will stick with this,

and if I want a full on drift car just set a Silvia or something in the future as a banger as there much easier on parts etc


cheers
Adam :)

[ae71neo]

Good to hear :)

[rthy]

are mini's still cheap in the UK?

OHHHHHHH SHE LOVES IT

[Jonny Rochester]

It's funny to see people considering to buy a AE86. Because I was told (a number of years ago), that there are no AE86's left, and all of them have been crashed or bought. And by 2006 there would be non left for sure. I thought I had found the last one.

[slydar]

i laugh to myself when people say stuff like that.

people still find '32 fords.

[DRFTPG]

don't do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hachi Roku]

you have made us all proud :)
