Hi Benni.

I think that everyone has the same problem. All of my friends wonder why i spend so much money on "a pile of crap".

Just wait until you lose your friends around the corners, a big heavy audi or bmw is not match for a hachi .

Hints for buying a hachi: Dont worry about the condition of the engine so much. It is much harder to fix the body than the engine. I would rather buy a hachi with a non-running engine and no rust than a hachi with an engine and rust in the arches.

ps - your english is fine, as long as we know what you mean! you don't want to hear me try speaking german!!

Again welcome Benni,

Good luck in your hunt for an AE86, like I said in your wanted thread, don't go wild on searching for a Trueno, a Levin drives just as great and in time you might even fall in love with it just the same. Like NZ said, its much more important to find a good as possible car, rust is the major thing to look out for. Engine's can be fixed, if you really want a Levin front can be swapped for a Trueno, but rust keeps comming back to haunt you...

And even the english on this board can't agree on what proper english is all about so don't worry about spelling mistakes

okay thanks i think.. i start with a Levin and than as a hobby car i buy a Trueno than i got a nice Present for my Girlfiend.. i hope she like that car.. i dont ask her :-)

Maybe you could buy one off this guy and import from New Zealand http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/3148/toybox4zh.jpg... @sshole.

Seriously though, there are about an equal ratio of truenos and levins here, and for you the only expensive part is importing. Especially if you buy a hachi go. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing....&key=32848 <---- currently 553.024 EUR

The two things that are below par in an ae85 is the engine and the rear axle. To fix the axle a favourite thing to do here in NZ is to buy a toyota hilux lsd rear end and modify it to fit. It's nigh on indestructable and has disc brakes. The engine is also a fairly easy swap to a 4age.

hmm lokk nice this AE85.. i make a zhink of that is that okay?

Dont let your friends and everyone else know how fooking cool an ae86 is!

That's our only hope that the Hatchies wont be ridiculous expensive in Germany and then we Dutchies can buy those cars in Germany very cheap!

I got the same problem with some friends/at work who said bad about my hachi when I just bought it. They said I bought funny stupid old car and more bad about it.
I feel a bit stupid at that time, but this forum make me feel better and I just ignore them as long as I can.
But nowdays they wont say that anymore even feel themself stupid about what they said about my car earlier. One of them even said sorry because of one of his friends involve with drift thing and told him that my car one of popular drift car I just smile and drinking coffee, after few second he asked me if I want to sell my car to him, I just laughing and just said... 'drive your opel till you die'

Everbody tells me "What the fuck do you want with a '85 year car. For that price you can buy 8 years yonger... " blablablabla... When they drove with me in de car, the opinion changes. "Woow that's a cool car mate!" One of my best friend wants one too LOL.
