hallo

mostly i dont welcome new members
but i think an ae86 in your hands would be a huge monster.
i hope you find and buy one

Hahahah, that civic really sticks out doesn't it

Some mean machine's you got there (and I'm not refering to the civic here )!

Welcome aboard!

Nice cars!
(not the civic )

And is the hachi going to replace the civic then? >

SekiguchiUeno - well , i'm flattered that you welcomed me . =) thats the only problem , i'm worried that I'll get a AE86 and end up throwing $15-$20k into ! but its definately a car that I would like to get . I saw a local guy selling one for $500 but he flaked on me . but one day , i'll definately get one .

mux213 - thanks man ! the civic is really not that bad . lol . it helps me avoid speeding tickets . maximum uphill is 60mph , fastest i went downhill was like 100mpg , but i average 65mph which keeps me safe . lol

faz - thanks man . its really flattering . 2007 sti would be a great platform to start from because of the new transmission . it would be a nice daily driver also .

banpei - if i can find a ae86 , i would definately replace the civic with it , but its just reliability that I am worried about . I drive about 150 miles a day and the civic is holding up great . what do you think I would need to do to a AE86 to make it a nice dependable daily driver ?



again guys , thanks so much for the warm welcome !

[Elid]

really nice car collections mate, all you need is a ae86 now, may be even a skyline one day to complete the collection

welcome

Billy,

AE86 is a perfect daily driver if you get an original car. I drive mine daily for almost 3 years now but I've got nice stiff suspension so its no longer a comfortable car. But technically these things take a lot of abuse and rarely let you down.
Rust is really your only enemy, if you get a good shell, the engine will last, the stock suspension is comfortable (though often warn but a nice set of shocks, springs and bushings doesn't have to be expensive), LSD could be an expensive repair if its acting up. All in all, if you want it as a daily driver, to get it back into good condition, isn't expensive, only when you want something that will be competitive, then the $$$ starts adding up fast

[BILLYhoang]

yea , i would use the 240 andrx as competition . i would just like the AE86 to be nice , reliable and pretty !
