New guy from Germany with question about an 86 (pics inside)
Hey dudes,

my name´s Andy, I am 23 years old and live in the eastern part of Germany (maybe some of you know the city Chemnitz). My hobbys are cars (I guess nobody expected that Big Grin ) and building model cars.

At the moment my daily driver is a 1997 Ford Escort (needs to be replaced) and my weekend car is a MKIV Supra:

The Hachi was always in my mind since i watched the whole Initial D series and it never got out of my brain. 4 cylinders, high rpm´s, low weight and a damn hot sound (and in case of the Trueno the so lovely sleeper eyes...i LOVE them). On a wonderful summer day last year I was going for a little ride here through the city. I drove through a housing area...and couldn´t believe what I was seeing there:

So i stopped and rang the bell. The owner was very polite, showed me the whole car and will MAYBE sell it, because he hardly drive´s it. He told me that he owned the car 1990. Unfortunately it has never seen a garage for 20 years, so it looks a little bit, uww, terrible Big Grin But it has only 84 000 km on the clock and is a 1984 model. Here are some more pic´s:

So what do you think about the car? Maybe the specialists here could help me a little bit and tell me something...maybe you see something in the engine bay what i don´t see (e.g. what needs to be replaced or sth. like this)....for my opinion the engine was dry as i could see it.

Thanks alot for your help and I hope I´ll enjoy the time here in this forums.

Nice one, fully stock. Thumbs up!

For that state I´d spend max. 1000€, there is rust, the paint...

The paint needs some care of course...red is always susceptible.....and the car looks not that rusty as you may think, just some minor patches and the rear wheel arch on the right side, the rest seems to be okay. The car has to pass the "TüV" at the end of this month, i´ll be also there and have a look under the car....To be honest, i don´t expect a really good condition, but he´s never been driven it in winter time...it just stood in front of the house, the whole winter....so maybe the salt hasn´t done what it normally does to cars at this age.

When I bought mine (2009), I chould buy 2 AE86 like this for 1000-1200€ each. But I ended up buying one with loads of mods for 2300€ Smile

when i look at the front and the engine bay, I believe the car has ever been involved in an accident?
and the oil pressure switch is not located on the original spot. if you can get a good price then buy it Thumbs up!

Nice find! Thumbs up!
The car appears to be one of the early cars, so I'd say it is definitely an early 1984 car. Interior doesn't look too bad: worn buckets are what the hachi is renowned for. Wink
It looks a bit half-Haselbeck trim: it does have the telephone rims and boot spoiler, but not the sideskirts and front lip. Perhaps a pre-Haselbeck trim? Tongue

WTF is up with the stars? Are they stuck to the plexiglass cover or to the gauge cluster itself? Dumb question

The stars are a driving guide, I supose.
speedlimits:
50km/h in town
100km/h outside
130km/h as a good speed for motorway

The other stars are telling you its bad to rev it past 3k Cool
