Best or cheapest way to achieve a 3" lift on an AE86?

I have one in my posession and im just going to beat the piss out of it. Think rally beater.

Going to rip both bumpers off and weld up the metal bumper supports into mini-pushbars. Mount a lightbar on front and a cb radio with antenna on it.

Cant find any info besides lowering it, fuck that.

I'd say get it if $400 isn't a big investment to you, and you're also aware that it may have large issues with the gearbox, and the engine may have been damaged from the overheating... also be ready for the fact that it might end up being an oversized paperweight quicker than you'd like it to

Thats nearly more of best-case scenario in my humble opinion.

First of; gearbox issue is unidentified. No mention of how it performs otherwise, if it has happened before or what he had to do to get it out.

Second; very few pictures, but from what I can see it either has a bent door, or the doorframe itself has suffered structural damage. Headlights are glazed as fuck and in dire need of a polish, and from the shitty photo the tires look bald. Combined they make me think that this has been a beater, and not one driven by anyone with mechanical sense. Most likely it will have dying brakes, worn bearings, trash all over, worn suspension and maybe even some more "hidden" damage...

This all comes down to how much you're willing to put into it both time and moneywise, and what you'll be using it for... as a pure offroader where you have really no demands for working AC, interior in nice condition and preferrably undamaged then it would probably suffice with a new engine and gearbox, but I would be damned desperate to consider this as a vehicle I'd depend on to actually get me anywhere I need to be

I really want an enthusiast driving car. Problem is, I haven't driven manual but like twice.

If I got a Fiesta ST and had my brother get it home for me, would I be able to get up to manual driving prowess pretty quickly?

The only other things I've considered (and tested) are a 228i (probably too expensive) and both the FRS/BRZ, which obviously all come in automatic.

Should I risk learning manual for one of the highest rated enthusiast cars or just go automatic?

I fucking hate cars that have everything so crammed up in the engine bay. Right now my Nissan Maxima took a shit on me and I have to replace the alternator. There's no way I can reach it so I have to take it to a fucking shop so they can rape me.

Last November, Bugatti announced that the Veyron replacement would be known as Chiron. Named after the dominating driver of the 20’s and 30’s, Louis Chiron, the car is expected to utilize a variation on the Veyron’s immensely powerful W16 quad-turbo heart. Now, a new report has surfaced alleging the car will continue the modern Bugatti tradition of setting insanely high top seeds.

According to Magazin ProDriver CZ, technical specs have been shared at a recent customer presentation prior to the car’s unveiling at Geneva this upcoming March. The numbers play out like a serious game of Top Trumps: 1500 (the total horsepower, as well as torque in N·m); 467 (top speed, in kilometres per hour); 2.2 (seconds, for the 0-100 km/h dash); and 2 million (the price, in Euros).

I'd prefer just about any other exotic/supercar on the market.

If you get one that isnt shagged go for it.

You wont know until the first week of ownership if its a pile or not

>>14165817
check rear main seal oil leaks, check the rear driveshaft for fucked ujoints, check the axle shafts for fucked ujoints, check if it overheats. they are pretty bulletproof for the most part though as long as you keep fluids in it

>>14165817

Absolutely unkillable if you keep coolant in them.

Even then, they need to get pretty hot to eat themselves.

Keep in mind they run hotter than most, this is normal. If it goes above 210 I would start to wonder about the cooling system though.

My dad has gone through several, he has a toolbox he bolts down in the back with about a thousand pounds of tools in them + overload springs.

Get the |6 ONLY.

Why is Toyota not producing any good sports car since 2000?
I like the Gt86 but it's more Subaru than Toyota with that boxer engine. Why are they doing that instead of developing with Yamaha a great L4/6 engine that normal people can afford, like they used to do
This new supra isnt going to be an affordable daily sports car, its going to cost like 150k+ and will be some kind of hybrid with more computer power than a google server to compete with at least the new NSX

Brands want to sell as much as possible.

This results in cars that all look like averaged blobs that do everything 'meh'

I thought it was going to cost like $70,000-90,000?

Disappointed its going to be another AWD Twin turbo six cylinder with semi-auto transmission only though.. The vette offers Manual, Automatic, and semi-auto clutch.

Snek also still comes with Manual only (even though it ultimately hurts its sales)

Maybe Honda and Toyota are hoping they strike gold like the R35.

What allowed the crankcase-breather to freeze up in the first place?

it can get water vapor in it if you make short trips and or don't let the engine warm up enough. I've seen whiteblock volvos push the rear main seal out or roll the lip backwards from the same thing
