Takumi tax

[Intense]

I wasn't jealous when I came up with the term. I test drove a dead stock ae86 with 4ac and all, was 3 grand at the time in 2004 or 2005, i forget when. But I realised just what a rip off it was, so instead of getting a bog stock 1980's corolla I bought a highly modified rx7 instead for the same price. Stock ae86's are just poor value for money as i saw it so i put my money into something else.

Dude iv'e seen Jap's bawling there eyes out when they've crashed their 86's and I think the ones who don't, compose them self and commit seppuku when the get home..

Who gives fuck what jappo's do with their 86's they also flew fighter jets into war ships it dont make it right..

And your wrong they are collectors mayne, that's why almost all the Toyota genuine OEM parts are completely sold out. The Geek kid that resisted taking his optmus Prime out the box 25 years ago is now a rich man.. so drift your AE86 into a wall tuff guy i dare you..

i think any registered car that is able to pass a road worthy is prolly worth around 2.5-3k anyway

ae86 or not, a car that is in good condition for its age is worth money?

im talking genuinly in good condition, minimal dents, ok paint, a non blown engine and decent interiour. thats worth something.

takumi tax is great when your selling stuff! and theres always a way around it when your buying, just need to look around.

what jets were these? I can't remember seeing/hearing about that.

ok, a black limited, fully restored etc etc. - cost upward of $15,000 au probably. you'd be hard pressed to find a BDA escort for that money rusted out.

my rs1600 lhd bda road car supposed 1 of 3 ever made in white purchaced in italy last year on its way to oz purchaced for 27433 dollars needing extensive bodywork to restore
reshell would be easier but in a word no
pic taken in ireland at home

and my lhd german import to nz and now on its way to oz

enjoy

takumi tax aint nuffin compared to the price escorts are worth now

I hear what your saying,

We have a genuine Mk1 lotus cortina for sale, in similar condition to the escort pic's you have, complete but old and in need of some TLC,
And it's the most expensive car dad has ever bought( not built),
more expensive than his GT40 and the XR6 Turbo powered Ford Focus.



The thing that annoys me with the AE86 stuff,
as I am converting a jap spec AE85 to a JDM AE86 spec at the moment,
Is that people try to sell something that is not an AE86 part, but could be used in RWD for way more than it's worth.

the people who try to sell a s/h part at over double the retail price I can buy it from the local toyota dealer for,

I mean is an AE86 4AGE power steer pump worth $1000?
Is a Hydraulic clutch pedal worth $450 more than the cable clutch equivilent?
Is a non power steer rack really worth $750?

Almost to the stage where I may look at buying stuff from overseas too.

japanese people cry when they miss the f**ing train going to work man. you're shooting blanks there.

and dont worry, i'll give my rear quarters hell on the armco just for you champ and i'll send the footage....

its a car, its a means for me to have a good time thrashing it.
sure id be pissed for a bit if i smashed it cause id lose money, but i don't really care enough cause theres plenty other cars i like as much as an 86.....

and the parts are sold out cause theres been 25 years worth of 86s in the entire world.... thats alot of other countries aside from australia and japan.....do the math?

DX20VT, Lotus cortina is one of my fav cars, of course mid 65, coil rear end/a-frame but with late front grille.
