hey mate, its the most reliable car i have owned (and i have a newish cars)and if you were to do/fix anything on it it would be dirt cheap beacause you can use the commen corolla parts on it. its not so much a drift car more of a highley respected classic thats going to gain price in time. it is cleaner than my olds man brand new ve.
if you were to get a australian deliverd ae86 it will be a pain of a daily due to it doesnt have power steering, disk brakes and aircon like my jdm one does.
and not to mention it cost nothing on fuel, it cost $45 to fill up and that lasts me a week or 2.
if you want to come have a look your more than welcome.
cheers
