    my brother owned one before i knew a thing about cars, and i learnt by him explaining everything as he'd work on his. and now im in love with them.

    regardless, they have an awesome shape.

    I bought 4 86's so far, 2 S13's, 1 S12, 1 S14, 1 ae71, 2 TE72 wagons, and a FWD Honduh in a pear tree.

    The 86 was sheerly for RWD. Good times.





















































    ............... And i'm a fanboy.

    stoped at the intersection of pac. highway service road and moss st. (near mr toys) it was raining and at night, this silver sprinter turned left infront of me and it was sideways before he entered the intersection... after that night i looked all thru the internet and found this site (or the old one anyway). theres was heaps of info on the net and info about spare parts so i got one a couple months after that... then i found out there wasnt as much spare parts as i thought and mine had a lot of work to be done so i sold it.

    but then i got my MZ11 and a spare shell so im happy as pie but very keen for a kp61, ke70 sprinter... altho i think ill have to settle with a ke70 roller... but theres nothing wrong with that (y)

    I was after something small, cheap, manual, RWD and a hatchback so I could fit two bikes in it easily.

    So I bought a T18. When it got written off I went for something more waterproof.

    And that's how I bought an AE86.

    Now I have a second... I need to use my spares for something.

    i smell a lot of bullshit here..

    but any ways.. i need something that had a price of a typical corolla, looks sporty, good on fuel and has to be manual and rwd yup that was my first car... sprinter...

    then i bought another sprinter then only to be sold to a noob and got written off...

    off i bought another one but it was a lemon... so i sold that off

    then i bought a car like takumi from a friend..

    till now im happy...

    I bought an Ae86 for performance, just love the power on the vehicle, and realize a lot of people are buying newer car's,(350z,g35,s200,etc..)so i thought why not buy a 23 year old car and beat them in drift/touge/or just racing. Friends thought i was crazy but i just love the car, a lot of people inspire me ,, and yes i saw Initail D like seven years ago.lol. and they sort of inspire me to purchase an ae86.. hopefully i cant buy four more later in the future.
