AW11 thoughts

Now i really want a 2 seater. i hate joy riders and people who go "hey can we drop by.. to pick up.."
Now with the stock AW11 what are its limits?
Can i have alittle fun without lsd? (eg do donuts and have fun at the skid pan?)
Im really looking at getting one soon maybe even tommorow. How is the comfort level and high speed driving eg highway handling compared to 4wds like wrxs are they more twitchier?

 i've had mine since early 1995, so i am a bit biased so THEY ROCK!!!! 
yeah, mine was a stock 4age w/out LSD for the first 4 years of ownership. you can still do good donuts etc. if you want. though they arent really made for it, they do whip around really fast.. 
the aw11 really shines in corners, they do handle different to FR type cars. if you not careful they will spin around and bite you on the arse. 
on the highway it depends on your suspension set-up, standard isnt too bad. i like it a little stiff, at the moment i have lowered kings springs with gabriel front shocks and adjustable rear shocks (not sure of name, came from a 1/2 cut). it can be rough on certain roads, but i like to 'feel' the road too. 
some of my mates rekon it's too rough, but they are V8 holden/ford panzies.. 
they love high speeds on the highway, i like to eat the k's when i get the chance on a trip.

yeah if you are going to buy one, try and get a s/c model. they arent that expensive anymore..
though i like the hard-top rather than the t-tops the s/c model comes with.
i swapped a 4agze into mine in '99. absolutely love them 4agze engines. best toyota engine out there IMO.
now running on my 2nd 4agte, love them even more.
(when i'm not blowing it up)..

Is that a normal sunroof or is it the Targa version?
Anyway, it'd be a good step up from an AE82. Good choice mate - plus they're already a modern / latter day classic.

Im in the processes of getting one, hopefully if everything is good i'll have a nice little s/c aw11 in my driveway early january.
Theres a lot more room in them then you'd expect for a car of its size.
http://pbase.com/aw11clown/aw11 <----- heaps of pics. unfortunetly i don't have the $$$ to reg for the heap of others not on there.

my 4ag has a sunroof.. I remember once i tried to take the glass out after it had been siting in the midday sun for a few hours...
 anyways the glass was insanely hot and I didnt want to drop it so I had to suck it in and take the pain...
