oh and btw im in Aust and theres this guy who goes to Monash University Caulfield campus who seriously drives around in a done up 86 with the tofu sticker, cup holder, bucket seats and everything, i think he got the import for fairly cheap, but yet again coz it is here...
yeh well afta he got it here he did all the conversions himself and depending on ya luck u can drag him off at the lights, kinda surreal experience, mb coz i just like initial d wayy too much
and oh yeh, watcha think of the new way they doin episodes with first related to story and second entirely to drivin?  i think it's good coz u c way more drivin but limits the development of the story a bit

Yeah, I love the fourth stage but I truly hope that they spend an entire episode on character development.  I know they only have 2 episodes every other month, but still, I'd love to see what's happening in his life outside of racing.

hi guys, i was just wondering, how much are 86's going for in your area? here in ireland it's a bout €10000 avg ($12500) and if i saw one for less then €6500 it's either an 85 with ML's or about to blow!
i'm thinkin of importing an 86, probably from US,
btw whats your favorite part? i love the battle with the 85 in stage1.

I have found it hard to find an 86.  Most of all someone willing to sell.  Before Initial D you could have grabbed one for a grand or so.

J Square Auto
Pasadena, CA 91107
is selling the cheapest one I can read about so far lately for 1200.

you can check out http://www.autotrader.com to do a search.  Since nothing is close to you when it asks for a zip just up in what ever you like such as the 91107 listed for Pasadena.  The hard part for you is getting someone willing to ship for you.  

I also saw a guy swearing his 86 is stock and wants 8,000 for it which is STEEP.

hmm mental prices everywhere i look... new plan methinks

[KillJoy]

What kind of prices are the cheap cars over there going for? I hear you can get free insurance on some new cars in england? Do they give similar potions over your way?

Yes, you are right- although that is only on Brand new (from dealer) cars.

86 is sold here as Toyota Corrola GT - but only early mks, later ones are FWD. WE do have 200SX as well, and MX and RX around, although quite rare.

Unfortunately, for a person of my position (20 in age, no no claims bonus) the insurance premium is what puts those type of cars out of range. (although 86s go for silly money still)

Put it in perspective, my insurance premium on a 35 BHP Fiat Seicento was going to be over 1K sterling- about $1600US.

Hope that helps.

Oh- and regarding the price of the cars.....

i spoke to a friend whose borther imports jap sports cars for a living, he said he could source and import a jap spec 86 for....

25000 Sterling! (over $30000US i am certain)
Still, it would be an exact trueno, in good confition.....

[TerraRoot]

pfft please this is ireland, THE highest insurance rates in the worlds.
yea free insurance if your over 25 and spendin €15000 on your new shiny shopping trolley.
cheap 86's? bout €6,500-7000, i''ve seen em going for €20000. ya know ireland is'nt so expensive a place but if it's got any use for rallying
the price goes trought the roof! lately to i've been seeing lots of s14....
lol i saw some american rallying once, the roads ye race on... tut tut.. like a three lane highway over here

Does anyone know wat stage Keisuke is racing against Kyoko?? Since im not japanese and I only have the raw eps I dont know wat stage it is. Plus I think the stage they raced was pretty short

[xiaochefy]

looks like this anime is going well heh ^^ but its quite nice though heard that fujiwara is gonna lose the next battle issit correct cause his dad asked to rather have thier lost first time inorder to keep on winning right ? inorder to let someone improve a defeat is needed ^^

[GooWakJai]
