Hang on a minute,I am that mate mentioned above and the facts are that the car cost me $7500 landed + $450 freight + $550 for an engineers certificate + $250 for seatbelts + $500 for side intrusion bars in the doors + $150 for an engine mount + $500 for registration + other small bits and pieces so you can see that this will set me back at least $9900 before i insure it and i consider this a bargain for what i have.
These are the facts from somebody who has been through the process and yes you may find a slightly cheaper car in poor to average condition but i defy you to buy a jap spec aw11 supercharger on the road for $7000.
Regards Neil.

this is the same as the JDM sprinters. they cost more than most are willing to pay.
I have a friend who is looking to sell his full tune S14,and move down to something a bit cheaper,so he can save some money.
he's considering an AW11,or maybe a sprinter,but for the money they go for,he'd rather import a series 4 or 5 rx7...same price,more go.
he'd likely offer seven or eight grand for the car listed above,
which as was also posted above,is less than the owner would like to sell it for.
I suggest you hang on to it mate. you will find it hard to get the price you want.
regards,
Justin...

Hey,I agree,an rx7 will find it very hard to keep up with a blown aw11 when both are in stock form,but where the rotary has the advantage is in the modification potential area.
the most you'll get out of a GZE with the std blower is 100-110kw atw. the rotor can go a lot further,with less work.
the handling differences are open for debate.
my point wasn't to openly compare the two cars(I'd personally love to get my hands on either of them),it was to show the reason cars like these are sometimes hard to sell.
cheap,turbo cars are all over the market,and it makes it hard to justify the price of NA,and blown cars when you aren't after a specific model,just something that goes.
for this money,you're competing with silvias and 180s,as well as the rotaries. sprinters and mr2s find it hard against that kind of competition.
also,what is the big advantage the mr2 has over the sprinter?
the suspension up front is essentially the same,they weigh a similar amount,and run the same engine in JDM spec.
have you run one at a track? what sort of times did you get?
I'd be curious to compare the two. not from a "mine's better than yours" point of view,but just to see what's got more where,if you get my meaning.
Justin...
p.s. so,you want $9k for your AW11?

Hiya Fergo308,the main advantage an AW11 has over an EA86 (irrespective of 4age/ze engine)is in the mid engined layout of the AW11.The mid engined car is much better balanced with a near perfect 45/55 front rear bias weight ratio and much better ability to apply power to the rear wheels as the power is applied to the rear which is basically under the engine and these things just squat and go.The mid engined AW11 also has the advantage of much quicker and nimbler weight transfer front to rear which is controlllable by the throttle which means the car will change direction quicker than a front engined rear drive sprinter,so all things being equal the AW11 is a quicker car than ae86
I have personally driven plenty of both aw11 and ae86 cars and while i like both the aw11 is undoubtably a superior chasis.

yeap...around 9k.....
well....justin...try to drive a supercharge AW11 when u have the chance....
i drive a fully moded 86 myself but in terms of conering speed, if u taking the correct apex, the limit for an aw11 is alot greater/faster...but if u like to play drift, 86 is better...
the handling of an AW11 compare to 86 is like when u compare the corner between a 86 and a 180sx.....where u can feel the chassics design of a 86 is alot better than a 180...then when u comare the 86 with the aw11...u wuill feel the same...where the aw11 have the speed of a 180sx but even more stable than a 86......
well...in terms of look....86 and aw11 both have different supporter and some ppl think aw11 looks good and some doesn't just like me...i think 86 looks better but aw11 have it owns unique style.....
and...while a jap spec standard 86 will cost u around $10000 landed or even more....i think an AW11 is more value for $$...
at least it's a factory supercharged......
cheers...

I do believe Aussie motoring journos were put off by the way the AW11 swapped ends so quickly when pushed to it's limits. Although the car was commended for its handling abilities generally. The Mazda MX5 however was also renowned for its sharp handling and didn't have the problem of unpredictability that the MR2 suffered when pushed to its limits. The MX5 had perfect weight distrubition and of course is a FR layout.
I just wish Toyota Australia factory delivered the s/c AW11. It was the price that put me off purchasing one myself (as well as my love of drifting), especially after seeing Brisbane Street Machines trying to sell an imported 4AC engined AW11 POS for $9000! If $9000 landed me an s/c AW11 i would be happy. But i have to say i have modified AE86 running through my veins!

Hi mate,My friend is rollaboy who lives in Coffs Harbour area and he was just slightly confused with what the AW11 cost to import ($7500) compared to what it cost to get on the road ($9,900+)
It's ok Brett you are forgiven.
|
Yeah sorry guys i meant that price just imported off the ship.
No REGO, INSURANCE, COMPLIENCE and other little bits and pieces.
Sounds great for that price with only that many km's.
You can always put a 3SGTE in one then u will be able to keep up with your modded RX7.

Coupla points:
I have heard a 4agze is good for 200 horses with just an overdrive pulley on stock internals.
Fergo - you can't compare an front engine rwd ae86 with a mid engineed rwd car, say the front suspension is the same and they weigh about the same, and then say why should the aw11 handle any different!!!! Sorry, but this undermines a lot of what you say. You'd really have to have very slight grasp of physics at all to say something like that and believe it.
Also, the aw11... well, I don't know about the Jap sepc one, but the US-spec gze one actually weighs as much as, or slightly more than an ra6x celica.
Personally, I preffer the looks over the aw11 over the sw20 anyday. I like them a lot. I'd love a factory sc'd aw11!

I don't believe I said any difference,I believe I said what's the MAJOR difference?
as in overall corenring speeds,feel,or high speed stability.
something that one does significantly better than the other to be able to say,oh,but the aw11 beats the ae86 "HERE"...
that's what I was asking. I haven't had a chance to drive one hard yet,so I'm asking,as I know what the ae86 can do (for example 18min gate to gate through the nasho,and 1'20" laps of wakefield),so I'm curious as to what an AW11 can do,as I don't see any HUGE differences between them. having the engine 4" behind your head instead of 8" in front of you can't make them like a MX5 and an 323...
I'd love to have a proper drive of an AW11,but haven't had the chance for more than a run around the block at normal suburban street speeds,so I can't say much about the car's limits. anything decent will feel solid at 50km/h. if someone wants to give me a go in one,I'll be more than happy to accept.

fergo308....if u don't have any interest on the car... or u want to talk about who's car is faster go and talk in other post...
Again...I m talking about stock car here and a stock aw11 supercharge will be faster than a stock JDM AE86 Levin/Trueno...in anywhere..either u r in city or in the track....a fully moded 86 will of coz faster than a standard AW11....but well...if i just throw in a bigger pulley ($500) the AW11 is easier to get to 200hp.. than spending heaps ur $$ to modified the n/a 4age to 200hp....
cheers..

AW11 supercharger sell in nz for between 2 -4 thou and can be complied under the 15 year old scheme for less than 1000 if you know what you are doing and where to go.
7,000 for an oz spec one is ok depending on the km's but for about half you can pick up the nz ones "TRD Spec"
Something to think about

I have a 1988 supercharged MR2 in Melbourne at the moment. These are the specs:
· White and silver
· T-bar roof (targa)
· Alloy wheels
· 5speed manual
· 120,000klms
· New clutch
· Timing belt replaced
· 10months registration
· $8500
If importing one yourself, you will be looking at around $7000 landed for a nice clean car, and around $9000 on the road.

Guys, I really don't care what's faster than what.
all I was trying to say was that for the money you're asking,you're competing with cars like the rx7 and silvias,and even MA70 supras. whether the MR2 is better or not really doesn't matter. people buy on reputation as often as quality.
anyway,I have a friend who IS SERIOUS about buying a supercharged AW11. could everyone who has one available to sell atm please email me directly at fergo308@hotmail.com,and I'll pass the details on to him.
thanks,
Justin...
