Hey Pete, have seen your site before off the Club4AG forums as well as a couple of pics in the Hyper Rev mags. I bet you must have couple of wild meets over there in Ireland. 
Unfortunately the police over here aren't too tolerant of burnouts or doughnuts. There's been a thread where ppl here have been pulled over & booked for a doughnut just for losing traction in the wet whilst driving. 
As for AE86's, they do have them here but they are the lower spec version - 4AC engine with no LSD. Most get around this by importing parts however for a 20 year old car, they are virtually non-existent these days.
So, unless you get a modified AE86 with the engine converted, you'll have to do the hard yards yourself. Most have problems sourcing a rear diff with LSD of some sorts.
Insurance-wise, I'm only paying $291 AUD for mine however that is only 3rd party property. Been quote around $1,500 for all round comprehensive insurance but I'm a careful driver.

yeah insurance is a joke its a lot better in the uk than ireland tough max power is a shit magazine full of trye polishers in fwd overwheeled underpowered fiestas corsas astras civics etc
the police here are fairly easy going compared to other countries generally you know someone who knows the cop it is ireland after all!!! the tarmac rally championship attracts the most ae86's all out to prove on the saturday night in the main street of the host town that their king of the rings i.e best at doughnuts was at galway international rally few years back when ae86 on northern irleland places started to doughnut around a police car the northern lads do what they want cos their from outside the jurisdiction i.e northern ireland is part of uk where as sound is governed by ireland its like an nz car coming into sydney doughting around cop car and the police cant touch him twas MENTAL
btw i'm not pete he's the lad who owns the site i was just featured in the videos
