I also have a special feeling towards AE86 after reading the comic Initial D. No I wouldn't take it over S2000 though. I would take MX-5 over S2000.

who said this? there has been no official word on discontinuing the s2k for 07.
I ment it as a joke (the running one that has been going on here for the past 6 years), but there are now 3 posts in S2K Talk stating it's true. Personally, I don't believe them, but.........

Do what makes you happy! If you want it that bad, then get it. Just don't get one that's outrageously overpriced.

you're not a true fan of the ae86 if you have to swap in an f20c to enjoy it.

So true, but with a few braces here and there, it'll help greatly. Not as well as a full stitch weld job, I am sure. But Ueo does make a few braces that will help.

I love the 86!!!!!! I used to have one before I got the S.

I was in the maret for a supra, but at the time the prices were way to high to spend that much for a used car. It was either buy a new car or have my buddy swap in an sr20det into my 86. I chose the S2K, but man sometimes I wish I had gone with the swap. It would have been one insane ride by now.

I'm currently looking for another one for a project.

If the Skyline is the typical ricer dream car, the AE86 is the dream car of the trailer-park ricer whos parents don't buy his car, as opposed to the typical ricer.
