Hi from the Netherlands

[NoHachi]

Uhm..before I say this I want everyone to know that I am not dissing the AE86 (I own a car that can be IMPROVED upon by using AE86 parts, as long as you have fun.).

I don't know this for sure, but you sound like a pretty young guy. Like me you are probably a champion benchracer that knows the 0-60 specs of pretty much every car out there. Well, sometimes the numbers don't say everything..
The stock AE86 is a slow car PERIOD. I owned a bone stock civic that outaccelerated it, outcornered it and braked better as well. The hachi is a classic and that shows in some area's.
That doesn't mean it can't be improved on offcourse...everyone needs a hobby. This hobby though tends to get expensive when you can't do everything on your own. With these old cars its often not a question of car mechanics, but more brute stength and creative problem solving. That means that a few friends and a few beers are helpfull as well. Don't underestimate the effort that goes into this. Luckily we have a nice little community here where people help other people out, but that kind off depends on your own attitude as well.
4500E buys a lot of cars, throw some more info on yourself into the group and let the other members tell you their experiences. Don't take my word for it, but AE86's are pretty difficult daily drivers. Make one hell of a hobby though
