Any previous/current owners of AE86?

[Slick]

Had an 85 Coupe same silver colour as the OP's car. Will try to find some pics. Was rocking some nice black mesh Riken wheels on it.

lol yeah I reckon so. Great thread! Thanks to, uh, Cameltow for bumping it

I never owned one myself, I was always more in love to the Supra than the AE86, however have two friends who own/owned one. A blast to drive and just a classic.

I wanted one a while back but at the time all the ones I could find were from owners that didn't truly want to sell or were just too expensive for what the car was.

Clean cars though guys!

I always wanted a nice, clean AE86. Closest I ever got was this gold brick GT-S POS:



Bought it for $700; thought I was getting a deal and dodging the "Initial D tax", but I blew the engine after 20mins of driving (conrod chunks everywhere!) towed it home and tried to tear it all down to fix it. The whole car was a disaster. After stripping the body down to bare metal, I realized the car was too far gone. It would've needed a serious ground-up restoration because everything in the car was FUBAR. Sold the roller and all the parts to a kid with 4 other AE86's. Thank goodness for the new 86, because I don't think I'll ever have a nice original hachiroku! In the meantime, I bought the German equivalent: a 1991 BMW 318is.

I'm about to pull the trigger on my next, just waiting for the buyer to pick up my s14 I sold. I don't want the ae in the snow

Sorry for the hipster effect, friend made it for my facebook timeline.

I owned 2 one was a 85 Red GTS i was going to restore it full US oem parts but my brother got different idea and turned it as an N2 spec AE86 so I just gave it to him. The other one is a 84 White SR5 but sadly it spend more time in my garage sitting than driving, nothing wrong with the car its just on non op. Friends tell me when I get the FRS its going to have a big shoes to fill but I think I'll go a different route on the FRS or BRZ which ever I decide to get.

I got my first Corolla GTS(my first car) in 1992. Around 1993 I turbocharged it.
After selling that car I bought a 92 Integra which I also turbocharged. I then went on to a 1995 Integra with a B20 block and Civic type R head with an HKS GT28 ball bearing turbo and JDM Type R conversion.

But I still came back to an AE86 in 1999. It's been through a lot of changes but I still track the car on occasion to this day...

In 1999.


Present.


And I had a coupe along the way.

[Boostedpro]

Sadly no AE86's for me but I do currently own a 79 corolla coupe and a 78 corolla wagon.

[Skurj]

Brother's got one.. does that count?

Its been through a ton of changes... had a turbo for awhile, he's always had megasquirt on it, not sure what's in it now.. it may have a 6spd..

Hoping this summer to get my BRZ and his ae86 in some photos.
