1986 AE86 Levin GT APEX Coupe

I purchased this car from z10 of JDMYARD located in NSW last year August if I can remember. I believe he purchased this car from a guy by the nick of OLDMAN in this forum. It is a very clean car and was very original in terms of interior and engine modifications. Since it’s a late model AE86, it came with the black interior. The interior was mint when I got it, but recently the dash cracked right in front of the steering wheel. Very common among AE86s so I don’t think it’s a big deal at all. The car had all the suspension modifications done so it really handled like a go kart, it just lacked horsepower. Opportunity came when a member of the forums advertised his drift package for sale.

The 4agze engine was purchased from Craig, member of AE86 of this forum, the post might still be in the for sale section. The engine was used primarily for drift and it had been fully rebuilt with new bearings, rings and pistons. It is a AE101 Map sensor model and was tuned to 125rwkw. He only did about 4 to 5 track days after the rebuild. I had the engine tested and checked before the purchase and it was pretty much perfect. I bought it as a complete package so it came with the engine, 2 gearboxes, 4-2-1 custom extractors, intercooler, aluminum radiator, oil cooler and the Wolf ECU .as I didn’t want to screw around too much, that was why I bought it as a complete package. I had it retuned for safety and reliability and now it’s got 112rwkw with no pinging etc. I’ve since done 2 more track days on it (not drift), one of them wet day. The gearbox is a T50 in excellent condition. Has a up rated 212mm flywheel with a 4 puck exedy button clutch.

With the old engine at 63rwkw I managed a 1:51 on street tires at Winton. Recently at the BP PEDDERS sprints, I managed 1:44 with the new engine and TOYO R888 semi slicks but that’s with huge amounts of traffic and lousy brake pads so I believe if given a clean lap and good pads, the car should manage at least 1:42 around Winton. The car is not used as a daily driver, just to the track and back and is registered in Victoria with 11 months registration left. If you think track cars are a danger to buy, u might be wrong because I think I have looked after it real well, I change the plugs, engine oil, gearbox oil, diff oil, brake fluids after every meet.

Asking price for EVERYTHING that I have for this car or as listed below is $18500ono. I did some maths and realized I have spent close to 25k on this car but I know I can’t get back everything I’ve spent. Hopefully I don’t lose too much.

2) Front coil over conversion with TRD inserts

Nice car, had a AE86 as my first car, put a 4AGE and suspension in it, 15 x 7" rims, had it for 6 years. Won't post what I sold if for in 2002.

    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
