I've already changed my steering wheel to a bigger diameter leather one. The wooden wheel doesn't suit a sports car imho...

It's very hard to find here any hachi. And OK, 1500 Euro wouldn't be so expensive price for one with this conditions but...but the parts are horribly expensive. The stock Toyota ones and also the tuning parts.

If I look at the ae86: it doesn't suit a wooden steeringwheel, but if I look at steeringwheels itself without a car around it: I like it.

I think the price of the red hachi is quite good. Not under nor overpriced. It ran 250 thousand kms, so the engine probably needs to be looked after, as well as a lot of other parts.

This price is considered as "overpriced" here, or need to be an exeptional quality for an AE86. Most of them are maintained in a tipical hungarian way called "kokany" Kokany means lot's of garage works was done without any understanding, but with many cheap parts from various easter cars such as Lada, Dacia, etc.

You can find more pics about some parts from Battle Version (Alex on club4ag) and Technotoytuning (Gabe Tyler on club4ag) at http://www.ae86.hu/gallery_2.htm. Pics shooted last weekend. You should find some pics about status of my poor chassis. Hopefully it will be finished in April. Then she'll get a rollcage and some fresh coat of paint.

Not only Hungarian way man :-)
I use Lada water radiator and there is no misunderstanding what I'm doing. No problems to use cheaper alternatives if you keep the overal reliability and performance.

I wouldn't mind Lada parts, but I would be very afraid of Dacia parts in a hachi.

WOOW !
Dacia and Oltcit are "famous" creatures :-)))
I mean - quality parts.

Of course I didn't mean that kind fo parts. But plug wires, igniters, either old used plugs itself, windscreen wipers, wiper motors etc. Nothing wrong with a good quality radiator, of course. :-)

Since Lada is a RWD too I can't find anything wrong using its parts...

(RWD is my addiction...)

Hmmm, told my girlfriend I learned a new Hungarian word: Kokany. She didn't know the word so it would be either slang from the past 9 years or she never heard of it before: she didn't knew fékfolyadék either when I needed it last summer.
