ide love to have seperate drift, drag and circuit cars :cooldance

[Fro-Daddy]

know of any for sale at the mo?

[180sxdrifterj]

i was thinking of getting a ae86, but of course they are pretty rare here in vic, and seeing as i live about 2 hours outta melb that dont help either...

personally, i would like a sr20 redtop conversion into that beast and sha-zam! one fast little drift beast!

yeah, and i wouldnt mind if anyone knows of anyone else whos selling one eh?

[Duncan]

crappy overpriced junk

but hey, who am I to judge?

[coco69]

i used to own a 86 levin with 4age. it had 200,000km's on the clock and still went upto and sounded incredible at 8,700rpm with ease. it was my first car. i really regret selling it...

edit:

found a picture of it. wasn't as advanced with all the digicams back then... so hardly had any good photos with it... the red car was my friends trueno... both our first cars... u know the feeling how good it is to first get your p's... we went fanging every night, and dreamt about upgrading to better cars... besides the new driving sensation, i was quite embarassed to drive that car around and wanted nothing more than to get rid of it and buy myself a better car... the irony of that... i miss it so much now...

[Craved]

i know a guy that is pretty into them, he has a few for sale but as Duncan pointed out they are a bit over priced!

we did pick one up with rust for $200 though.. that is the one we are working on now..

wouldn't be hard to put the SR20 into these cars 180xdrifterj... even the rb26 would fit with a bit of work to the front radiatoe support!

i have seen one with a 20B cosmo motor in it.. that hauled!!!

[Craved]

if anyone is series in buying these i can source a few locally for you!

[Mulkers]

REALLY?!?!? That would be nuts! But what sort of price are we talking?

[The Jake]

I'm curious, how much an AE86 would cost. I'd consider getting one if I could completely gut the thing, inside and out and get it rebuilt.

I know this sounds blasphemous for asking but could you get it to house a rotary engine?

For the drifters reading this thread...

i am serious in buying one but they are really hard to find; i would buy one with out a motor even and rust through out it... i would just put a sr20 in it if you could find one thats wrecked or something thats cheap, then PM me back dude cos i really want to own one!

oh, and i wouldnt mind puttin a rb26 in it; but they are too heavy and i would intend it for drift purposes so having it so heavy in the front end wouldnt help that much

cheers,

[Yotis]

Saw an AE86 with an SR20 in it, from memory it might be a red top.. sounds tough..

[Craved]

i have found 2 already for 4 grand each.. i might be able to get him down if i got both sold at the same time. the guy who is selling these knows how rare they are and will be hard to talk down any!

condition of them is unknown as i have not gone to see them, i can check them out if people want and take a few happy snaps of em and check general condition!

this guy likes them so much he put an add in the paper to try and find more!!

[The Jake]

Yeah definately it would great to see the condition.

[Intensevil]

umm, their not exactly rare. Just go on www.toymods.org.au and u'll find several for sale all the time.

From what i've noticed the pricing for them goes like this:

Bog stock aussie model = $500-$4000

Ausie model with 4a-ge = $5000 - $7000 depending on mods

Heavily moded ausie model = $8000+

Jdm stocka or light mods = $8000-$10,000

jdm off its tits or aus of its tits = $10,000 +

[Duncan]

*That* is exactly what I mean....$10k for a rusty 20yo toyota? too many people watching cartoons out there....

If you could get them for a decent price, say $2k like other cars of that age, then great but for $10k plus a couple of grand you could have an R32 GTR instead :confused:

[Craved]

Thats true and i see your points.. i thought it was strange to get for so high a price!

they are nice looking cars when they are done right, but the one we just picked up for $200 had 2 holes in the block of the old 4a, could even see where the rod had done a lap around the sump!

bit of rust to fix, but with the right kits they look the goods - better than standard corrolla IMHO

rear wheel drive and quick with the right engine!

will be looking into toymods alot - most of them have already been modified and high prices from i saw there!

Duncan - hook me up with a GTR for $12K !!

Just where in the hell are you buying R32 GTRs for $12k? Off the back of a truck?
