The only down side to those AE86's are how rare they are, and how much people are selling them for. The drift scene with Initial D is making them pretty hard to come by. If anyone ever tells you, "Oh get an AE86 SR5/GT-S whatever, because it's cheap." Smack them in the teeth, you'd spend less money building a 180/240sx/Silvia and less time invested. So far my 1986 Toyota Corolla Sport GT-S (for some reason my insurance company likes rubbing that long name in my face). I've spent $1500 on the car itself, and nearly $3450 on it in parts and other misc labor, and still need to toss a new engine into it. Not to mention the suspension work, new rubber, paint, more body work, new 2-Way LSD, interior work, and EXTRA-HAPPY-DORIFTO-COOL-SHIFTUH-KNOB.. well maybe not that last thing. But you get the picture, the killer part of this all is I'm not building a drift car really, just something to drive around in and have fun with. Oh the joy of a near 20 year old import.
