Re: Shipping Cars into the States

Here's how it works, when they bring it through customs if he specifies that it is a track car they will take down the VIN and basically ban it from being registered as a street car. But with an AE86 since it is not a grey market vehicle, and its over 25, he shouldn't have to worry about anything. T...

Re: Redroku's not so red AE86

Thanks guys, I appreciate the positive input. This is my dream car, so I kinda am pulling out a lot of the stops. Do I care if its 100% perfect absolutely immaculate? No. I really don't. There is a certain degree of imperfection I expect. It's a 28 year old car that isn't supported for crap, so what...

Re: Shipping Cars into the States

If its older than 25 years its pretty simple. Im military so its easier for me, but you would probably have to pay taxes on it. When it comes time to register it, it all depends on the state you live in. Some easy (south carolina), some extremely difficult (California). Getting it here yes, the gre...

As for the engine, it's getting a 20v. Which ever the shop finds first, I don't particularly care silvertop or black top. The mods: Technotoy Velocity stacks and filter. Kelford Cams. CP pistons.

Redroku's not so red AE86

So, despite the name, my AE86 will not be red. It's going to be receiving the panda treatment. Just the clear the air about that. I have been an AE86 fan since I was 12 years old, which was *gasp* 14 years ago. It all started with a neighbor that owned one, rocking the side drafts. I bought my first...

Re: Silk Road Exhaust

I am looking to buy a full exhaust and header from them. Are there products any good?

Also, really stupid question, if a header is meant for a 16v and you try to use it on a 20v what do you have to do to get it to work?

Re: What do you love about the 86?

I love them because to me, its like driving a go-kart.

I love the way that they look, the simplicity of the car, the fact that they still ...

Re: Shipping Cars into the States

Alright, here's the reason that you will be able to get the AE86: its not considered a grey market vehicle, and you can bring it American code easily. And the over 25 clause wipes that part out, so your set.

But, a 25 year old skyline? forget it. Never getting in to the best of my knowledge.

Freaking horrible. The shop that is doing my body work thinks that they can fix them, but I'm halfly considering just buying the parts myself and telling them to have at it.

They told me I should get a body kit :roll:

I love my USDM the only problem I have is finding that damn plastic crap that goes around the bumpers.

Two of them are jacked up to hell.
Chances are excellent that my 86 won't be driven much after its done.
