Yeah, mine was from Initial D, go me hooked, had to get one

Why you choose to own an ae86? how did you come across with your 86?
For me, coz I like to watch initial d so I wanna own onebesides, mainly becoz its rwd, and building a pretty 20v 4age ae86 is relatively cheaper than building a pretty SR20 turbo S13.
firstly it was initial d comics then the vedios when I was in high school about 7-8 yrs ago, but I couldn't afford to buy one after I had my licence, then after a few yrs of owning a few cheap fwd craps I felt so sick and saved up some bit of money and decided that I must have to buy a RWD car.
I started to look at some 86 and FC3S but the 86 were almost in the same price range with s13 nonturbo, and FC was absolutly out of my price range, after looked at a few s13s and ae86s and found all ae86 at my price range were so crap and also my gf hated it so I bought an s13, and after a yr and a hf of owning the s13 and feeling depress everytime driving next to some turboed silvias, I decided to sell my s13 and go back to 86 as I don't think I can afford insurance of a turboed import(s13) and also the cost to maintain a turbocharged car(both FC and S13 turbo).
well thats what my story is. and now I bought one and started building it.

my old man used to be an engineer for a rally team... one of their cars was an AE86
Never seen a intial D episode.....so thats not a factor.
bought my sprinter off a mate, loved the beast after his crazy driving in it.... got me hooked... so grabbed it when he went to sell it.
basically came down to... a cheap RWD car.... plus they look madd... got lots of potential... and they are TOYOTA...
yeh baby..ohh whatt a feeelingg...........
Don't have one yet. Was out at Morgan park watching a mates dad race..There was a sprinter with a 4age racing. I liked the look of it, I'd seen a few before but didn't really take too much notice of the shape or driftin ability. Then I got my first initial d episode my brother bought me for christmas. Now I want one with the panda colour scheme
Not just cause of Initial D but I think the colours look good together,

Id never seen or heard of them before i bought mine a couple of years ago, i knew stuff all about cars and didnt know what the hell it was. i got it from a used car lot cos it was cheap 4banger with a bit of go. fell in love cos it was so much fun to drive and now ive got a 4age one.
granturismo 3 got me hooked on sprinters, I won so many races with my panda trueno. I don't actually own one in real life though
I also wanted something different as there is millions of Silvia's and Skylines out there.

saved up for years to get my turbo sr20det silvia ks, then i thought i'd better go to uni cos all wasny goin to good lifewise. had to sell silvia cos of insurance, and not being able to look after it properly (no car port/garage) little time, and becuase it was such mint condition that i didnt wanna risk crashing it. i barely even took it over 4000rpm
so after missing my silvia badly! i wanted a performance car and was doing a lot of research. then i came across the hachiroku, never even considered one! and it seemed to fit the bill. i also wanted to try an NA car and also because i love jap car culture, so even if i wont be drifting or racing a hachi when i get one, i will enjoy it because of its 'cult status' and i hope it will be a fun little car
Definately from watching N2 AE86's racing years ago..... you now the ones with big flares!
