Re: AE86 TopShelf build
Quick question I'll post here because I don't want to clutter up other threads. The rust on the rear passenger side quarter panel behind the door, does anyone make replacement sheet metal for that that I can weld in? No, you will have to find someone that is parting out a car, a junkyard that still...

Re: "Never Forgotten" My long term N2 AE86 build
Can you post a few pictures of the rose joint on the brake MC piston rod? I am really interested to see your placement and orientation on that!

Re: What kind of insurance do you have on your AE86?
Thanks a lot for this information... very helpful for me at least. Do you know what the average mileage limitations are? 1000 something miles? I went with what seems to be the standard 2500 mile limitation. I have put less than a thousand per year on over the last two years though. I believe you ca...

Re: What kind of insurance do you have on your AE86?
Insurance through a normal underwriter will value our cars at around $400, and if you have receipts for parts that are under 2 years old then you might be able to haggle for a small fraction of that as well. In 2007 I had a pleasant experience with Farmers where I had a heavily modified SCCA road ra...

Re: I am entirely new to imports need advice.
How about an frs drivetrain swap has that been done yet? The frame rails on the AE86 are a few inches to narrow for the FR-S/BRZ motor. You could make it work if you wanted to tube the front of the car, but I would only consider that for a car with light frame damage up front. What's not perfect ab...

You should be very concerned about rust in the places I mentioned. The worst places for it to get are #2,3,5. Mechanically it is like any other car. If you are concerned about it, and do not know how to check it, or do not have the tools, just bring it to a reputable mechanic. They will charge you $...
