Hey Guys, I wasn't sure if this was the right section for it, but here it is anyway.

My beloved AE86 Trueno GT-Apex :inlove:

Well after viewing the so named images I just have but one comment to make.

I love the AE86 Trueno and Levin, the sound of the 4AGE engine sounds so good.

Nice, did you buy it to put around in or for drift? :burnout: :whackit:

[Amaru]

I'll vouch it was bought for drift... well at least setup for it But I wont give too much away from telling whats under the hood and wheel arches, thats upto Mark but its damn nice

[Guilty]

don't do that unless you can drive like Takumi. *cough*riceboy*

looks like it's in good condition. Is it an original Panda paintjob or aftermarket?

How much did the 86 set you back?

[Guest RedLineGTR]

very nice...clean car.. make me want to get one as a second car.

[PranK]

oh man - so stinkin' cool!!

[MINES_DATSUN]

damn thats so cool. how much did it set you back. ive been trying to look for one for AGES . NO LUCK . will you sell it

[raz0r$harP.UK]

go the Panda! That's heaps nice

[Mark]

Thanks for the replies. I really didn't expect such nice ones.

I'm not changing the exterior anymore then it has been modified, and especially no chrome wheels! lol.

It cost all up $15000 which is pretty cheap for a Trueno. They are about 26000 aus in japan for an imacculate condition.

The work so far is

Ae92 4AGE - Converted to carb

2xDual 45mm Solex Sidedraft carbs

272 HKS inlet/exhaust cams and gears

Cusco 2-Way LSD

Roll Cage - (not installed in those pics)

BB Garage Front Bar

Cusco Coilovers with pillow ball mounts (camber, caster etc)

Some crazy fuel pump which is incredibably loud

I'm gonna go and talk to proengines here about some pistons and higher compression to tide me over while I build up a 20V and get back to EFI.

I don't think I"ll sell her just yet, but I know where to advertise if I do decide to sell

The original Paint code was 2T7 so I'm not sure if it is original, but it seems to have been many colours in it's life. The last colour being metalic blue.

Thanks heaps of the supportive comments guys.

Cheers

Mark

That's so sweet. I really wanted one of these earlier in the year. There's one here:

Looks pretty good. I just couldn't justify the cost in the end of the day.

:blast: :headshot:

OK! I'm likely to cop a bashing here, so please excuse my ignorance

I've seen these "Trueno's" in Best Motoring against the GTR's, whats so good about them? "my ignorance will show here" I'm trying to work out what you guys are raving about, at least to me it not the prettiest of cars. Although I'm assuming it must have a hell of a motor/running gear, to pump the GTR in the BM vid.

Can someone please explain?

[Mr. Oizo]

oh man.. so nice..

how long have you had it for?
