hey. grew up in kansas. currently in afghanistan serving the US Army. when i get home, i plan on buyin a corolla. PREF an ae86. we'll see. i joined the site to learn as much about the car as i can before i buy one. this just seemed like the right site to pick.

im goin to japan (tokyo auto salon in january) when i go on leave, so i may just import one while im there! lol who knows, depends on what i learn here, and there.

Welcome!
Perhaps you can ask to meet up some members in Tokyo then... Miguel also exports hachis around the world, so you may want to meet up with him.

If you're thinking of importing an AE86 into the USA from Japan, it's worth looking into all the formalities first.

I know that it's particularly difficult for Californians, due to the emissions rules. Another bonus point is that USDM cars are left hand drive.

I'd recommend waiting till you get home and look to buy there.

yeah i have been. there are not any in my area. i have seen ONE though.. and it was in poor condition. had a big RALLY sticker on the side though. some old fat lady was driving it. kinda funny. but none on craigs list ever. i still check. some on ebay. and they want 5g for them. still right now i have my friends keeping an eye out for one. but if i could get a solid jdm ae86, that would just be awesome. i dont plan on usin it for my dd. im gettin a wrx for that. the rolla will be my full project car. deployment money well spent i think. lol. so if it is rhd, i have no problem with that! but i am still keeping my options open. if i find one in japan for a great deal and i have the funds, i will most likely buy it.
