The french levin had your name written all over it if you ask me..and there's a nicely modded and clean levin coupe for sale in the netherlands at the moment.
If you can afford to buy an ae80 and stick a 4age in it AND make it handle properly....then you can afford an ae86 too.

Had a nice hachi-pool of cash saved, but life, wife and children got involved, I agree, making an 80 handle like an 86 would take a lot of money, and would indeed be pointless, but thats not quite what I was talking about

heheh nice! Nope no excuse, I make no apologies for trying different things

Apolan Wrote:on the other note, why dont you like the s12? nissan makes superb cars and amazing engines also! As far as looks go s12 on some nice deep dish rims can look just as cool as the ae86 if not cooler. if you dont like the engine throw in an sr20 from the Primera GT, slap on a couple of ITBs and youllhave your own hi-rpm screamer. why does it have to be the hachiroku anyway? the s12 is much more advanced than ae86.. ules that is exactly what you dont want..

Apolan, I love my S12 but its just not a Hachi, It may be faster, or more advanced, but in my opinion no way 'cooler' and thats the real point. I want an 86 for other reasons than what it can do on the track, hence my different view on things

I cannot contribute anything to this forum at all, I am a wannabe that has no real chance of owning one so I have to put up with what i can get. I thought a discussion about other close relatives of the 86 could be cool, maybe of interest to those among us that cant reach 86 ownership, but can have a glimse of that hachiroku spirit

...Ill shut up now!
