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

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.

?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.

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

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
