Awesome choice of JDM carnography mate :eek::thumb:
I thought you lived in JDM heaven lol - The Irish Autotrader had loads in when I was looking! Caged / Diff/ CO's etc etc - reasonable prices too I thought :confused:
Aren't there any in the AT at the mo dude?
*edit - just noticed you are after a UK spec, what's the differences mate. because I'm involved with a few Jap clubs / meets etc. I can possibly find one for ya

uk spec is what i grew up lovin,they are the original corolla so to speak
they have slight differences in lights bumpers etc nothing to major,all running gear is the same. if you could find me 1 that would be great lad
the irishauto trader is full of rusty **** or modified jap ae86,very hard to get a good original coupe over here believe it or not,most lads want to keep them
over here they have the same place in history as st.patrick himself lol
Ok mate i will ask around tommorrow for you!
Gives me an excuse to go check out the s13a one of the lads has bought - luckf fcuker lol
I take it you have an s14a also?
had a s14a and sold it,great car,dont buy a standard 1 though, very average car standard,a few choicemodifications and there a savage car, spend the time lookin and get a good 1 because they are dear when things go wrong lol
and yes ireland is jdm heaven,its amazing the amount of cars we have over here that iv never seen anywhere in the uk,vzr pulsars etc
let me know if you can help me out
cheers
I will let you know mate and you grab me one of the N1 VZR motors lol
Somebody's been watching Initial D lol
if you must have one, look in Northern Ireland, plenty over there. You'll pay through the nose though, apparently they're very overpriced for what they are.
there was a jap one on ebay not long back for 6.5k !!!
?6500?!? For a Jap import? FCUK THAT lmfao lol
Assuming by your username you're an SX man, just buy a cheaper S13 and spend the remainder ?6250 (lmfao) on improvements.

AE86....Cheap.... Bit like trying to find cheap 2 door mk2 Escorts now,doesn't happen very often!,Too many people out there prepared to pay crazy money for them:roll:
Hmm... buy a cheaper AE85, replace all the poverty bits, put on some rear discs, LSD, and a Celica 190 VVTLi engine in :D

its a uk spec im after lads not jap:roll: for the record to convert a ae85 to ae86 is nearly as dear as buyin a ae86, as for puttin a celica engine in:confused: not a conversion iv ever seen done, cost way to much, seen 1.6 20v from corolla fx jap import and superchargerd 1.6. seen sr20det from 200sx and 2.0 vtec from s2000:eek:
irish lads are bonkers when it comes to these carslol
@ nova pilot that is a lad on driftworks ae86, lovely coupe, hope to get them wheels for my jap spec
mine the exact same as that except black over graphite
there was another one, white over black, running T40's (or 45's) i think. fooking mint, same wheels as before i think. Must of been local (Yeovil, Somerset) to me seen it twice now.

theres only around 200 ae86s registerd in england at the moment so my chances are limited, theres well over 1000 in ireland but alot are over priced, sum have being know to sell for 14 to 15 thousand euros[around 9 to 10 sterling] for uk specs with low milage in certain colours in imaculate condition.
im still gona keep tryn i mite be lucky
Alright s14a I asked around - no joy! The one I heard of being for sale before xmas - still is - was a trueno ffs...
Errm you can have an Aristo running 300 ish bhp if you like lol
All is not lost though, the jap site has massive meets on the 1st sunday of every month so when I see the AE boys I shall ask them too :thumb:
Just out of curiosity, whats the availibilty of the Nissan motors over there, particualrly the SR16/20VE and the ultimate the VET, from the X-Trail? I'd rather not buy the full 4x4 lol:D
i mite no of a vzr pulsar block for sale 175bhp but not very tuneable
i know the lads that go wild over here use the 2.0litre block as its more tuneable, go onto the almera owners club, when i had my vzr they were very helpfull, the site has both irish and english members so if theres a engine knockin around im sure they will help you find 1
try traynors up north 048 38891242 they mite have 1
lol an aristo,id prefer a toyota chaser if i wanted sumthing crazy lol
cheers ask them ae86 boys, tell them il get them acces to a very confidential irish ae86 website which is great for spare parts and sum industrial glue if they find me 1 lol
