True, JDM represents the 'true car of legend'. From a 'cult-classic' perspective, an ae86 JDM will always outshine any other varient. A car that was born and bred to race will always hold more reputation than one that started out life as a grocery getter. JDMhachi had an exceptional point to make. If you are buying an ae86 from a true ae86 enthusiast perspective and are a REAL fan, JDM will always mean more to you. The car will have SOUL, but unfortunately, it will demand a premium for this. But if you want to get it as a fun daily driver, and like the look and performance of a JDM trueno, then a worked aus spec trueno will not fail to satisfy. The car will still look the same, handle the same, and take off the same. I personally would go this path cause it's cheaper, and chances are, will be easier to find a straight chassis (4ac driven by an old fart barely gives the chassis a workout ). I do like ae86s A LOT. But to me, it's not the meka of cars. That said, I can't justify spending so much on a JDM. But that's just me. But if you are a diehard true ae86 enthusiast like ae86drift and JDMhachi (who are both top blokes btw ), then definitely go JDM. Happy posting.. good luck. [Report message to a moderator]
