my new AE86.

kent14,

Before I bought my AE86 I had plans to make it D1 gp style. I wanted to have al the parts available on the market. When I should buy my AE86 I had plans to buy a Run-Free body kit and do a full paintjob within a year.

A year ago I bought my car and drove it with fun. It was pretty fast and soon the first problems occurred. New clutch, new slave and master clutch cylinder, new tires etc. Little damage done, because the car surprised me in a corner (somewhere in the first weeks). Now I still drive that standard car with fun! Learned a lot about the car and how to handle it. Now, I finally have some money saved and still not going to buy the Run-Free body kit and full paintjob. I want to change my suspension, because that will make me more happy.
I made about 150 dollars a week working on Saturday and evenings and had to go to college 5 days a week. There was not much time to spend doing modifications to my hachi. The money I made is not much compare to the prices for all the modifications. Every week I have to buy gas for my car. Cost me around 50 dollars a week!
So, what I'm trying to say is get the car first and learn how to drive it. Than you can make plans of modifications you want to do, but take 1 thing at a time. The plans you make now are more like a dream to me than reality. Respect people like Apardal and Zax. They managed to build up a hachi in a short time periode.
