    simple question guys do you see any problem with putting other manufacturers parts in your 86's im asking as ive seen a lot of sr20 86's and a lot of s13 parts being transferred over

    I like my toyotas toyotas, my nissans nissans and my holdens non existant

    Im not generally a fan of interbreeding. It kind of destroys the whole beautiful thing about the 86, which is balance.

    Heres another question to throw in: What other cars do you have in your garage? That may get a few toyota fans out in the open hehe.
    We currently have:
    Moms honda CRV, dads 05 subaru wrx, and a work ute - nissan navara, and then theres my hachi.
    A honda, a subaru, a nissan and a toyota.... Sounds good to me..

    i dont think ill be making many friends when the 13btt convertion is done. If TRD wasent so espensive, if the 3sgte was light i would reconsidere. But later im thinking of building and N2 replica with a 2zz and bigger cams

    um... no? seeing as I'm trying to put a crossmember and steering rack off an S13 into the ae86. Don't get me wrong, toyota make some great cars, but the nissan's powerplant and drivetrain costs the same for technology that's 10 to 15 years newer.

    Relying on the balance of having a 4AGE is for people who have no concept of counterweight 4AGZE's, 4AGTE's and 20V 4AGE's all should upset the balance in that case as its not what's factory fitted and tested to an AE86 base.

    Contents of my garage: Nissan R32 Skyline, Nissan A31 Cefiro, Nissan CA86... oops... Toyota AE86 Corolla Sprinter

    If it improves on the car, im all for interbreeding.... some people are adamant about keeping it the same.. especially rotor people, any other engines in them are total blasphemy!
    i like the shape of rx7s but i wouldnt want a rotor... so id do the swap..

    oh & the cars at our house consist of 2 x ae86s, an r31, an r33, an s13 and an rb25 180sx...
