fwd is what keeps kids from dieing on our streets..... sorta.
i think anything toyota is good for 1st car, nice and reliable.
but it all depends on taste and purpose, do you like drifting/performace? or just rollin wit yall homies? seeing as you dont really know too much about cars id say steer clear of a turbo conversion as they can be tricky and you need good maintenance if you want it to be reliable. other than that, any good workshop should be able to help you get your car goin how you like it provided you have th moolah.

there is alot of info about the ae82 on tc.org so its a good source, not point starting up a whole ae82 section on ae86dc

When you open the bonnet of a AE82 it always catches on the wiper arms.

If you can, get a AE92 with EFI. They are a much better car, better feel. I think the front suspension was revised in the AE92 (compared to AE82) and it makes them feel more stable.

Or get a AE82 twincam. Even cooler would be a import AE82 2 door if they are avaliable and cheap.

If you are trying to find some influence, in how to "do it up", then don't go to SuperCheap. Instead look at the AE82s and AE92s that were raced in group A in the 80's and early 90's. Going from that, I guess a cool thing to have would be a set of Toms or Rays wheels, with 5 spoke on the front and 4 spoke on the back. (They were sold as a set like that).
