Hey guys im from the fairfield/liverpool area in sydney

and unlike every1 around my area I don't want any rice..
Im a full time uni student which means I'm very poor
so here come my questions..

I want to get an ae86, pretty tight budget(5k minimum 10k max, but im willing to wait a while depending on buy..

should I try find any ae86 with decent panels and minimal rust with crappy engine (because I'm willing to do a swap - 4AGE)

or should I wait and save for one with a conversion already done?

what would be your rough estimates in price differences with the two above options?

Also would a car newbie like me be able to do a conversion? i only know basic maintenance(oil/petrol/air filter, flushing coolant, changing oil etc..).

I would have no idea about changing gearboxes, diffs etc.. but I'm willing to experiment and learn(keep in mind i have never seen this done also).

- just a general question what would be best (performance/price wise) a 16v or 20v(silver-top)? to be modded in the future to 140hp approx.

(aiming for fun daily driver)

what am i looking at for insurance? im 19

"many experienced drivers prefer the 4AG at mildly tuned 140hp or so" Very Happy
