Right guys and girls. Ive got my FD3S RX-7 and ive been bitten by the drifting bug hard but i feel bad if i keep drifting the Rex. She's a lovely car quick and an absolute pleasure to drive but im thinking of selling up and gettin an AE86 fresh from Japan. So TOBY if your reading this if i send you a few links from good old yahoo auctions can you see what you could do price wise? Also anyone know of any decent sites i can look at a few 86's in japn that are up for sale? Cheers Cooch

buy a ae86 once you've properly learnt how to drift. i dont know how well you are at it, but if i smashed my pride and joy drift car into a curb, tree, ditch etc..... iv seen a ae86 do this into a curb and smashe the bottom of his car. id be gutted! buy a volvo learn, master it etc, then get yaself a ae86!

To be fair thats a pretty poor example of drifting, its more like randomly throwing your car around. Would love an ae86 though.

if you get one can you promise to take me out in it and have a gander round it. want to see if its really the kinda car i would like?

if i fall in love i may have to splash out on another garage and an AE86 for myself. so much to do and so little money!!!

my opinion would be the AE86 all day long...

I do love the look of RX7's but i would never buy one... there is something missing about it... Think its too nice, that must be it. lol.... prefer the rawer look, like the 86's ;)
