AE86 discussion

[funkymonkey]

kit is an original BN Sports... cost... well retails for 273,000 Yen, which is $3300 by todays exchange rate, plus shipping n all that.

For the AE86... bought 4L of canary yellow acryllic, 4L of thinners and 4L of prepwash n 4L of clear today for $320... time to paint up the engine bay and put all the parts in. Bought a S13 cradle (control arms, suspension, steering rack etc) for $500 as well. costs are starting to add up now

[Craved]

they always do.....

um up to about $12K on the line in the last 6 months ooh well should go hard.

thats pretty damn cheap for paint.. but its only acryllic .. why not go for 2 pak paint? but then again your already on the costs.

our AE is almost ready for painting.. been undercoated and is still halfway through the rub back... still reckon at least a month til its done....

im in the search at the moment for an ae86, with fuel pricers rising the skyline becomes more and more a weekend only car.

i've always been a fan of the ae86, my mate has own 3; aus levin with 4ac then aus levin with 4age swap and now he has a jap ae85 tureno coupe.

i just want to find myself a nice clean ae86 i really like the tureno soo its going to be soo hard to find one cheap, i might just end up getting aus spec levin and going a 20v swap and put some quads on it

thats still a popular mod in Japan... just get the black top 20v as it has more power std than the silver top.

hey Shan .. you able to get more BN kits?

and also is that a half cage in your line?

[funkymonkey]

That's actually a mate's car that's being race-prepped (sitting next to my AE86), which I tried the kit on as it already had all the panels off. Its got a full cage in it (only half of it in while we redo the wiring in the car).

I can get em from Japan, but as I said, they're not cheap

[Craved]

cool.. yeah that kit looks mad...

could you PM a general price for it... in the process of looking for another car atm .... so i could do that then sell her off after a little fun in it
