LOL true true - are they hard to get over here from japan? im sure you have your contacts though!!

[funkymonkey]

not that hard at all, most wreckers have the headlights, wiring, radiator support and bumper support available for under $500. I'm gonna use fibreglass guards, bumper and possibly hood (with a CF layer on top to make it look similar).

Whats the appeal behind the AE86?

[funkymonkey]

noting really... dunno why everyone thinks its the be all to end all drift car...

realistically speaking if you use a non forced induction engine you can get up to 130kw at the fly. The AE86 was the last corolla to come out with RWD, might be the charm behind it.

In its heyday, the 86 won NA comps around the world (in the US, Malaysia, Europe and Japan) as a circuit car. (The ones the S2000 dominates these days)

These days, kids in japan with not much money to spend buy em by the truckload, modify em with later model 4AGE engines and then take them drifting.

[funkymonkey]

[Craved]

nah it's got a CA18DET in it! the g/box is longer so had to relocate everything.. running a 7.5" locker diff... goes hard like this.. straight line speed is same as mine on stock boost!
