Hello,
I recently found this forum wile searrching for all things AE86. I have to say I like it so far. Over here in Idaho it is somewhat hard to find anything for the 86. I purchased my first AE86 2 years ago for $100. I found it it someones yard and asked if they'd sell it, they said $100 and you haul it out of here. Came back with the cash and a buddy... We push started it and I drove it home... No brakes, head gasket was crap, but it made it home..... I fixed the brakes slapped a head gasket on drove it for a few months then the aging 4age said no more, after 357,000 miles it spun a bearing, and the crank was no good anymore.... Thats why I got the SR5 for $200 after I moved to Idaho.... again had crappy breaks. looked like crap. But we slapped some good fenders on it from a donor coupe, and now it is waiting a trip to Tacoma, Washington where a guy is trading me a running GTS coupe for my old SR5 Hatch... so in 2 weeks my 1985 GTS Hatch will be running again. Sorry for the babbling, and Hello form over here in Idaho. Kelten ![]() |

86, if you simply upload them as attachments to your email they get scaled automatically
