Well basically this thread is about are you a Toyota fan or just a AE86 fan. For me, im abit in the middle. I love AE86's and love most of Toyota's creations. But i could have a Nissan or Mazda aswell without hesitation, what about you?

yea same here what eva looks,sounds and goes good not really a big fan of front wheel drives though....
I like lots of other Toyotas, just they are too expensive and not very practical for me to own, also like old school ford escorts..
Why hesitate when you can accelerate???

Own my 86, but drive my missus's OneVia a lot as well. Get a lot of fun out of her car drifting/racing it, but yearn to have mine back on the road...............
reasons why I got my ae86 in order of importance:
1) I'd feel better crashing my ae86 than I would my skyline or cefiro
2) It only cost me $650 for a running RWD car with some bonus goodies, I'd be hard pressed to get a similar car in the nissan, mazda or mitsubishi range for a similar price.
3) Availability of spare parts from Japan, Australia, USA, UK etc
4) It has very good structure, balance and layout suited to what I want to do with it.
5) There are a LOT of resources on modification, service and maintenance on it available.
6) It has a dismal interior that I don't feel bad stripping out
Not really a big fan of the 4A series engines, or many other toyota models... I'm predominantly a Nissan person (hence me changing the entire front sus/steering to S13 parts and putting a CA18DET into it) and I know how to tune RB20's and CA18's myself. That said, I have a soft spot for Celica GT4's (rally), Celsiors (VIP) and AE86's in general.
I starting to really get into old school cars, really like the RX3
Cheers
I supose I always liked ae86's but never took too much notice of them. As for the rest of the toyota range, nothign really takes my fancy that much. I've always been a V8 man. Then I moved onto liking rotary's, now I'm into the ae86's. But I will always have a soft spot for an old 351 falcon..
I just fell into having a AE86. My girlfriend bought it for me for my 18th b-day for $500 (had a blown 4AC and no rego)
From owning an 86 i have also started to like a few of the other toyota/lexus cars. Mostly the big 4-door drift sedans.
Yeah, i find myself into Toyota's now since owing a AE86. For example - GT2 or 3. Most of my car garage will be Toyota's.
But if I had a choice of another car, it would have to be the KPGC10 Skyline
Cheers
Thats PHAT!
