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 AE86 ex-daily |

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 Cars: "99 Lexus IS200 "86 AE86 Kouki Panda Levin GT-Apex (restore project) "84 AE86 Zenki Blue Levin (project racer) Motorcycles: "02 Yamaha R1 "02 Honda Hornet S "08 BMW R1200GS |

Why a twincam?
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. Regards Lars Veiss, Denmark Currently [URL=http://www.aeu86.org/viewtopic/dk-ae86-renovation-and-turbo-project---now-driveable/t/2474/start=150[/URL] |

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? Cump´s Filipe Oliveira |
