Anyone ever own the orginal AE86?

[Cone]

I had a 86 coupe, I loved that car. I bought it for $400, wrecked it a ton of times, but I learned a lot about driving from it.

This is how I bought it.






and how it looked when I sold it:

[West]

Nice, I cant say I have ever owned one. Although I have had many friends that owned them and religiously drifted them and was able to go out with them in my 240.

[Exitspeed]

Nope. Was always into 240's.

[randomxzero]

i havent got to own one, driven a couple since some of my friends and my cousin had a couple of them...

Was the 'coupe with a boot' version the AE-85, and not the AE-86 with the liftback? In Japan there is/was an insane AE-85 running a 2JZ-GTE with a monster single turbo running 11's of something similar. I have not owned an 86 but drove my ex-girlfriends one a few times many years ago. Nice enough car but the chassis was way better than the underpowered engine (4A-C) knew what to do with it.

[Cone]

Actually the coupe and hatch are both the AE86. There are a lot of AE86s out there with crazy swaps, your buddies must have been quick!

The 4AC was sooo sloooww!! I had a corolla with a 4AC for a little amount of time, and it could barley go up hills.

[Cal]

Too young and find them to be quite hideous.

[no slide]

i have only gotten the chance to drive the sr-5 with the 4ac. very underpowered, but the car was so freakin light and responded well to input. would like to get one but the prices are TAX!! right now.

[DownhillMR2]

I own an MR2 AW11, which is essentially a a mid-engine AE86.

[SUPRAtruc2JZGE]

Damn you got it for $400!! You 86slut! lol jk man! I was going to get one for $1500 GTS 86 Hatch, but no money...Supra got all my money!

[Cone]

$1500 is a great price for a gts hatch. I still miss my ae86.

[Cal]

I guess I am only in not caring for the Ae-86. Lol

[Cone]

Yep, too young to not care I guess.

[Cal]

Yep, too young to not care I guess.

Naw I am far old enough not to care.

[ProZach626]

I definitely wouldn't daily drive one, but it would be neat to strip it down and beef it up for the track.

[SUPRAtruc2JZGE]

If I get one I use it for DD Drifting to work and back home. LMAO!!!

[LuaghLine]

Coupe with v20 engine. That's my goal.

[modifiedMR]

Coupe with v20 engine. That's my goal.

dyslexic? Did you mean 20 valve? Also, it's spelled LAUGH. Not to be an arse, just wondering if that's what you were meaning.

[Merlin]

Had a 86 hatch. Flew all the way to Colorado and drove it back to the Bay Area. Also had a 74 Celica gt w/ 18rg. Pre-cursor to the ae-86
