*ok, it's lightly modded, with some cheap coilovers, stiffer rear sway bar, and almost-dead set of Toyo R888s, still got bog standard engine with longest 2.93 open diff
My FD would stomp one hands down, beat it in the twisties & looks better IMO. Still, it'd be nice to have a new, comfortable car with a modern interior that's quick, handles well, looks good & has decent fuel economy. For me, there simply aren't many new cars that fit.. the 86 is one of those few. (that aren't super-car priced or headed in that direction) I'd definitely rather have one than a BMW.. (almost any model that's actually attainable on a realistic budget)
well realistic budget,but to whos wallet? In usa jap tune cars like supra and skyline is defo out of the question than,coz some models go up to 100 K. Gotta be than a mid 90's car,perhaps an e36 m3 :P
Well a GT-86 is out of my budget, but it's a helluva lot closer than some overpriced, 40-off luxury-mobile. As for Supra's, they still aren't cheap but nowhere near 100k here, for any model or any mileage. I'm not talking about imported RHD type stuff either though.. and I sorta already addressed old BMW's. (no offense, but there're probably a dozen or more cars I'd play with first)
i know a r34 z tune is 180.000 $ but when i looked for supra,mk4 ofc, cheapest was 35 grand. Best car for the buck in usa is still s13 nissans imo if we take out bmw's
You can get a clean, US-spec Supra for around 20k here, though the cleanest, lowest mileage ones tend to go above that. Sadly we didn't get a "real" Skyline till the GT-R and importing/converting cars is WELL out of my budget, lol. Realistically speaking, the FD's beyond my wallet as well & as stated pages back, may well get replaced by a beefy supercharger under the Miata's hood. I saw an opportunity & had to strike though! Never been a huge S13 fan, though they've peaked my interest before.
TOO MUCH! (for me anyways ) Used, in the 50's I think, for a couple years old with real low mileage? (they can be had cheaper) I'd probably go for a Caymen if I were approaching those levels.. but I lean towards smaller, more nimble cars.
finally got my lower bumper last week on the arosa, whilst i had the adjusters off trying to unseize them i stuck the springs in and wound the front suspension down.
i got some pics with a friends dslr, check them out here
Whatever it is, when the ginho thinks it's beast the most humane thing to do.. KILLITWITHFIRE!
On a different note, nice Washington plate you have there.
