Addicted to the idea of a car

You do know manual is a Veeky Forums only meme that really just belongs in its own containment general

>I've been dating the same one since high school, I don't know how to do that.
i guess you'll get some practice by never getting the car of your dreams.

>only on Veeky Forums
its legit a thing outside too
people get autistic about it

Rare as shit ma nigga

I found one rust free for $13,000 I really want one but I got a W204 instead.

nice crx

Fuck off max your s12 is a slow pos that I can beat easily with a 3k civic and a few simple mods

I found one with an exterior rust free for $4,500, but I'm a poor man and can't get free money.

what mods?

>tfw there's one pretty close to where I live but it's a thrashed rustbucket and this weeaboo nerd thinks he's goddamn takumi at his "local touge spots"
>tfw he wants 4000 FUCKING DOLLARS FOR IT

Engine bay is pretty fucked, but I'm drunk and sad and want this to do a GTS conversion on.

Everyone abandoned their S12s for S13s or cannibalized them for parts. I find like two S12s on Craigslist a year that are borderline undrivable with serious problems/neglect.

I personally destroyed half a dozen of these. It makes me laugh knowing that kids can't get one today that hasn't had the piss driven out of it for less than 5 grand.

>being proud of being a shit driver
lmao

My driver's abstract is clean though.

You don't like a 30 year old rwd corolla with 112 hp, you like an anime.

Blacktop swap puts you at 160 and it's not an expensive swap. Like sub $1200

As if you stupid fucking yanks have anything to complain about, the modded ones (which there are like two) here go for £10k+ and the only unmolested one for sale in the entirety of the UK goes for £30k+.

>I doubt they'll be around for long enough
what did he mean by this

They're ancient econobox trash that """"drifter"""" faggots hack apart so they can crash them. This has been going on for decades.
I'd put good money down that only about 100 still exist in passable condition.

Over 2 decades of weebs destroying them trying to become the mountain pass dorifto king.

>Tfw about to drop 4K into restoring my quarters and getting rid of my rust.

>MFW gonna preserve my 86 forever.

its at the point now that its "cheaper" to just import an AE86 straight from Japan instead of trying to buy on one from the local areas.

I'm getting into an engine rebuild on mine. Gonna keep my 16v.

I love these fucking cars but my wallet wishes I never got into them.

>have job
>have good credit
>acquire loan
Yeah it's a terrible idea but it is an option.

Brofist. Also preserving forever.

I just got the verdict on emissions, need a new cat and ECU to pass Swiss homologation.

Like all japanese cars of the time period, they have rusting issues
Doesn't help they are 30 years and growing
Idiots cannibalize the remaining ones to make them drift cars for some reason, then crash them into walls and trees

how fucked are your lower rockers that you had to slap on that shit side skirt?

beautiful lads. keep those 86s looking lovely

why is it booted?

Are these reliable? I can get one for $500 in an okay-ish condition. It's a CA18ET and i'd use it as a DD, no mods planned.

Lol are you on crack?
Its a 2k job minimum who the hell out you in charge of black top swap pricing

Youll need a new clutch, flywheel, wiring harness, motor mounts, fluids, parts that fail
Tools, space, time, shipping, buying the engine, axels, bigger brakes

I mean its a good idea but sub 1.2k is retarded

what?

Does it have direct injection?

Unironically probably so someone doesn't steal it.

Nice, how much to rebuild the engineout of curiosity? I love that paint.

Yeah, pretty much, it's a temporary measure until I can get a detachable steering wheel and a killswitch.

I had a friend have his 86 stolen just the other day and another one a province over, the thief actually tried to ransom it back to the owner.

Nice 86, Trueno!

Does it have direct injection?

>i don't make enough money to buy a piece of shit Jap car with 86 HP from the 80's

You are a failure in every conceivable way, kill yourself my man.

How would I know? probably not.

get a pre-86 celica for a fraction of the price. its the same driving experience.

>How would I know?
You have to check to see if it puts fuel DIRECTLY into the cylinders or whether it kinda sprays it around near where the engine intakes air.

No dude, I know what fuel injection is, but I haven't gone to look at the car because I'm poor, else I'd have bought it either way. WIthout even googling it, it's probably carbureted.

I also like the car and I would love to have a Levin Coupe, because I am a hipster.

you know this car is old and slow. Just Get over it.
Buy the way, it's so fun to drive and modify

>modify
or you keep it stock and enjoy the feel of a vintage sleeper that will never wake.

look at this one

> no lowballers, i know what it's worth

Cheers, was thinking about going high-flash two-tone though. I dunno, maybe I'll keep it.

As for the rebuild, so far I'm around 400 in for a seal kit, the seals the kit doesn't include (injector o rings, water pump gasket), timing belt, TRD head gasket, and a couple of other little things.

Next up I'm going to get the rings which seem to be around 100-150 dollars for quality ones. ~150 for OEM crank and conrod bearings or 50 dollars for ACL crank bearings, not sure which I'm going with. Hopefully I don't need new pistons, but that's around 600 or 700 burgerbux in parts, not including machine shop work.

I'm hoping to have it done before summer ends. I FUCKING MISS driving that car, dude.

>enjoy the feel of a dated overrated 100hp shitbox

>Like sub $1200
kek, no. More like $3k at least if you want to do it properly.

>annapolis.craigslist.org/cto/d/ae-corolla-sr/6188001789.html
>SR5
COMPLETELY different car.

>how do you guys get the money for these cars
With a job.

The SR5 is easily convertible into the GTS, the only difference is the VIN, the chassis is the same.

but my job pays shit

>but my job pays shit
So does mine. It took me years to save for my car. But a lot of it was patience and taking on extra work where I could.

What do you guys think?

i think you mean
>I noe what car is worth

people in this town are beyond fucking stupid. And their beaner shitbox hondas are just as bad

>suspension, trans, lsd, interior trim, engine, brakes, wheels, front bumper, seats, wing,
>totally the same car

>The SR5 is easily convertible into the GTS
You what? You have to replace a shit ton of things and a lot of those SR5-->GTS conversions don't even work properly half the time

>I can't get over this fucking car and I want it so bad, how do you guys get the money for these cars, I don't make enough to get one today, but whenever I find one that's rust free, I doubt they'll be around for long enough to save up the money to buy it. I need help, how do I get over my first love.
nigger it is a meme-car and it always was. just buy a scion frs or whatever the fuck they call em.

I'd give him no more than 6k because it's a used car is good condition, everything else is money pit bullshit that he should know he won't get back. THe only problem is he'll never get off his high horse. If it was some old mustang you could tell him he's insane, but you chose the wrong car to lowball with with this one. I wish you luck

I can't wait till I get out of college so I too can dump all of my earnings into autisically resto-modding 80's Toyota meme machines.

>the conversion requires work
>GTS doesn't

I suppose you were just planning on not dropping in the JDM parts and driving the neutered version, r-right? Conversions are too hard!

>I'm just going to pick up this goal post and move it to another field

It's like you're pretending to be retarded

I dropped out to do it LMAO

Pandas are cool in their own regard, but god AE86s look great in black.

>I can't wait till I get out of college so I too can dump all of my earnings into autisically resto-modding 80's Toyota meme machines.

mfw I didn't even go to college and I earn enough to live a reasonably comfy life on my own and restomod my tofu delivery memebox

Yes the fuel is directly injected into the intake.

you're projecting your Animus onto it, it's calling for you

are you high?
just the stuff to make the engine rwd will run you ~$1100
an okay condition blacktop ~$1500
then around $600 or so in extra costs like extractors, wiring, new fluids, and general cleaning up

i've had mine for 8 years

i had an AW11 before it

i've pretty much rebuilt the entire car at this
point
Did the engine swap myself
only thing i haven't touched is the gearbox, which is holding strong
know the car front to back and inside out

has been a reliable daily for the entire time it's been running

i got memed into buying it, but according to the prices of most of the ones being sold, i haven't lost any money

>Actually typing this.
I GOT 350 HORSEPOWER TO THE FRONT TIRES, THE ONLY PLACE IT SHOULD BE.

>i got memed into buying it, but according to the prices of most of the ones being sold, i haven't lost any money
I think its kinda funny old 80s and 90s shitboxes are now appreciating assets. EF hatches, EK hatches, Corollas, and Accords are all going up in value

but this way I can (hopefully) afford to have three at once, down the line
I have a coop job organized with my school that should drop me off into a decent paying career the day after I graduate

where are all the old camrys

>but my job pays shit
get a better job. I can actually afford a GTR now.
