AE86 Owner

[Stokes]

Hey, my name is Matt.

I currently own a AE86 Levin.

I'm looking to replace it with a Spec-R Aero in the new year so I thought I'd better sign up and start doing some research!

hi matt iam Luke and what a beautiful looking ae86 i really really like it and have always had a soft spot for them since i was a little boy, when i was looking to buy i was torn between the ae86 or s15 and i think if i had seen yours for sale i wouldn't be driving an s15 now

 

[meddler]

Welcome, don't replace it, buy it a friend!

the S15 will blow the AE86 out of the water with the power increase and a few other things, but just wont have them same soul that the old school drifter has got, i would think long and hard before selling one of those as they just have such a great driving feel to them

 

[Luke]

haha yea i agree with meddler so much don't sell it buy it a friend haha

Thanks for the comments

Before I bought it I had the same view as you guys but it doesn't take long to realise your driving a noisy, slow, 30 year old Toyota!

If you look past that though I'm glad to say I've owned one, just looking forward to the comforts of the 15.

Very cool car.. I was only just watching Initial-D the other night (was flicking through my old films)..

Welcome to S15OC Stokes ;-)

I love the AE86, and after driving it the other night i definitely think you should keep it. exactly how i thought an AE86 would be - that 4AGE noise!. with some suspension mods it would be awesome to drive i'm sure, but on the other hand i love my S15 - It's an all rounder, where as the AE86 i would have to say would be a second car, just a toy.

did driving mine help you make up your mind?

What's the spec of the Levin? How much do you think you'll sell it for? Looks nice :nod:

 

[Stokes]

Yeah Dave, driving yours confirmed it's what I want.

The 86 would be cool as a toy but I haven't the money to own, run and insure two motors.

Hopefully I'll be able to get some reasonable insurance quotes after my birthday.

A freshly imported Tureno sold for 8.5k through JM Imports!

I'm going to ask for around 5.5k.
