shcao Forums Junkie Location: Melbourne Registered: November 2002	Re: wtd: AE86 H/lights, Corner lights, bonnet, etc Wed, 28 May 2003 08:51 Yeah, there are some pretty good importers in Melbourne. I've tried EKW toyota, Toyospares, J-Spec, and also tokyo motors. I've also tried plenty of smaller ones in which I can't even remember their names. They all said the same thing. Most of them just go... "oh yeah, the ae86 is a real popular model, and there is simply too much demand for the parts. They are often smashed up on circuits and replaced over there. So there is no possibility of us getting any".or "We get what we are given from the japanese". or "WTF? a 20 y/o car?, beat it". Let us know how you go with your search tho. -------- yeah, the US will probably be a better bet than japan. cause in the US, the corrolla GTS, and SR5 has not quite reached the CLASSIC level that the ae86 in japan has. Though I asked about shipping, and in the end, they wanted something like... $1.3k for the panels and bumper And something like 1.5k shipping. (oversize, overweight). I didn't think it was worth it. Mind you, the lights are very expensive. Also, in America ae86 did not pass the 5mph crash test, and so they've got different bumpers to do so. To me, they look shit. Getting my hands on a jap bumper was too hard. I simply thought it wasn't worth it. If you really want a trueno, I tell you whats the best way. Buy a junker thranged up drift machine from japan. You could prolly get them for about for about 5k with no compliance. Just a scrap spare parts car. Transfer the 4age, lsd, interior, all the rare bits over. Basically an entire rebirth. I mean if you think about it in a component by component way.. You are getting value for money. 1. 4age (often race prepared with extacters, intake, exhaust)... this will probably be worth 1.5 - 2 k. 2. driveline... t50 short shift gear box, LSD(often two way)!!!!!! this will be worth 2k alone. 3. Jap interior. This is impossible to get alone, and would be the envy of many ae86ers around. (climate control!!! yeah!!) 4. the trueno panels, in which I've been quoted, if available, to be between 2k to 3k. 5. Drift rims. Depending on what sort, they are often worth about $700 bux. 6. Sports suspension. Some of these machines have had a great deal of suspension work done. This is great on your behalf. Get all the parts over. Get it panel beated, and you'll have yourself an awesome car, that's been mechanically vouched, and is probably way better condition then a lot of the imported ae86 for over 10k!!! plus cheaper insurance as it's still a local model, and not a grey import. ----- ----- my 2 cents.. Rock on. [Updated on: Mon, 02 June 2003 13:45] [Report message to a moderator]
