Bah why would you be so adament (sp?) about getting a JDM AE86??
Real deal or not if they have not been scooped up already in japan chances are it is not that great!!
Look at cars like Mr20valves old black beauty and more recently Dodgy's panda levin!
True it might cost $$$$$ to get them like they are but a JDM AE86 most likely will need heaps of work done and heaps of $$$$ spent to it to get it driving nicely again!!
I think it all evens out in the end, import and freshen it up or Oz spec and good bits = roughly same amount of money in the end!
