A s-series is a BUDGET option, it should never be considered as an "option".

Seriously mate - this thread shows that you've just bought an AE86 on impulse without doing much research into it. Like most car sales that seem to be a bargain at first glance, this one has turned out to be an unfinished project requiring more $$$ to get it into reasonable condition.
I agree with Shiri - if you want to get rid of the car, don't spend more $$$ rather count your losses and just sell it as is, maybe for a lower price if you're desparate to get rid of it (and now that everyone on the forums knows its faults).

Well the first AE86 we bought was pretty good, for an old car with stock engine. I have to admit that we bought a lemon with this one, so i'd really appreciate it if salt wasn't rubbed into the wound.
The reason i started this thread was to show a bad experience and see if anyone can top that for bad luck, NOT to bag the previous owner or anything. We bought this car knowing it had faults, obviously not as serious as we thought until 5 minutes of driving it and even today as we learn more and more about it. I was under the influence that the car wasn't an unfinished project, but rather a reliable daily driver. Obviously we were shafted. Can't trust anyone these days..
we do understand the risk when buying a car like this. Didn't think the car needed attention straight away. We'd like to keep it but it's open for sale if someone offers the right price. My aim is to get the car running well at the end of day. I'd like different opinions and welcome critics, but there is a limit as to how much you can laugh at a person's misfortune and bad judgement.
So we're starting work on the car. I think it has lots of potential but needs attention at this point. I'll update this thread for anyone interested. At some stage i hope i can join up with events and cruises to show my handiwork. Obviously i can't turn a lemon into a ferrari but hey if it's unique, reliable and proves its worth then i'd pat myself on the back and say i've done alright,
