Why a twincam?

[JamesAE86]

what got you interested in them? rallies, daddies what?

[ae86_ladd]

u just love them or hate them eh.. in donegal i didnt get a chance to hate them.. with uncles rallyin bout in them all the time.. handy i suppose. but an expensive habbit

had an S13 first and switched to the AE86 as it's cheaper in many aspects... initial D and mate racing them helped a bit I have to admit

what about you James?

EDIT: still have the S13 which is going to be a trailer queen one day... miss the power from time to time

i had an s14 and switched to an 86. there a lot cheaper and a hell of a lot more fun over the s14. the s14 had loads of power an all that, but i just didn't like driving it for some reason. just to boring. ive always liked the 86's since i was young. but couldn't get myself to pay so much money for a 20 odd year old car. after driving the turbo's and hated them, and also watching initial d, i bit the bullit and bought one. best decision i made, absolutly love it

encouterd a hachi when i was 12 or 13 ... fell in love on the design then and when i turned 15 i already had almost all the info about them.

Driving experience is true. No stuff between you and the car nor the road. really fun driving experience.

Well that about it . I always loved retracable headlights but when i saw my levin coupe i was sold :_D

[AshCampbell]

I also switched from a S13 to a Hachi Roku, lot more fun, cheaper, better handling etc....

[JamesAE86]

always liked them but fell in love with the jap ones as soon as i saw option vids back in 2000

There was a AE86 Trophy here in Portugal in 1987, i was 5 years old at the time and used to go see the races with my father. Since then I always wanted to have one of those for myself...

The dream continued until I found out there was something called Initial D and BMI and Option Magazine: long story short - When I realized there was something called JDM Phenomenon!

A friend of mine who already died (RIP Niko) bought a tired old Levin wich was the first AE86 i drove and my love for the car has escalated even more, I promissed myself the next week i would buy one for me, since I trashed my Ford Fiesta somedays before trying to drift with it.

And so it was, a week after I bought my first Levin... and the rest is history!

My hachi is my first car. As a young 18 year old boy, I fell in love with the power, the looks and the rear wheel drive!
To make a long story short, my first my last my everything!

And I intend to keep mine for ever.

Mostly the same as jonny´s statement.

I can only regret why I havent bought one after holding the driving license... idiot.

They were cheaper, about 500 euro and much better condition.

I´ll leave some pics os the "Corolla Trophy" back in 84 - Nostalgic, hum?



















Still wondering why?
