Welcome!
![]() It depends on what you expect from the car. For instance: European GT Twincam is about the same spec as the US GT-S and the Japanese GT/GT-V (2 door/3 door) so they lack luxury in stock form. Optional in US and Japan were aircon and powersteering while the European GT Twincam lack that as well. Japanese spec GT Apex does almost always have powersteering and a lot of them have aircon as well. GT/GT-V/GT Apex all feature the 4AGE engine and have the stock LSD. All European GT Twincam spec cars have the 4AGE engine. Any lower spec than the Japanese GT/GT-V/GT Apex should be an AE85 which, as NZ Trueno says, have the 3AU engine, drumbrakes and no LSD. They also lack the AE86 seats which are quite nice bucket like seats, while the AE85 just has normal seats. Also in Europe (Switzerland) and the US there were the SR5 trims which have the 4A-C engine, drumbrakes and no LSD. The US SR5 did have a lot of luxury as option, like aircon, sunroof and powersteering. Levin or Trueno is mostly a choice of taste and does not make much difference in repairs... The Levin front may look sturdier however the Trueno parts are easier to find on the aftermarket: US aftermarket parts are plenty to find. ![]() So there is a lot to choose from... But since you're already driving on the left it would be best to import a car from Japan instead of Europe. ![]() 1983 - AE86 Sprinter Trueno - import project 2013 - Honda Civic sport - daily driver 2004 - AEU86 dot ORG - daily domain Support our forum, buy from the AEU86 shop: ![]() |
