Let me save you a lot of heartache and money and cut to the chase.

You're a fucking idiot. Stay the fuck away from a 30 year old meme car you cannot drive, fix, or afford.

>>16503995
Thank you for the honesty!

>>16503974
>am broke
Why are you even asking?

There's literally no reason for you to drive, much less own one.
If you want to into cars, get a broken manual shitbox off craigslist and learn by fixing it up.

>>16503974
They are very overrated and not worth the asking price. Gain some skill in a shitbox then buy something actually worth the money you will pay

if you still want to buy an AE86 by the end of initial D then you have bigger issues than not being able to drive a stick

Drift tax, don't get one.

Fucking thing blows its engine twice within one anime.

Shit, just from watching Initial D alone, you'd come off with the impression that rotaries are more reliable.

You wanna know how that car could keep-up with modern cars, besides "muh unbeatable protagonist?"

It had a fucking $20,000 racing engine under the good. Pic related.

Wish I had a father like him.

Not to mention that Subaru GC8.

No i have become dagumi.

its possible in a auto but its not as fun especially with LONG gears and tall final drive

gonna run 3.7 final and a aftermarket diff with my t56 swap soon hopefully with a ls1 should be orgasmic

Go watch Knight Rider, shitty turd gens are cheaper than tofu wagons

>>16503974

It would be an excellent car to learn manual in if you could get a decent one for $4k or less which is unlikely.

>Utilizing dual overhead cam and four valves per cylinder, it produces a whopping 240 hp and yet displaces only 1.6 liters.

Who the fuck wrote that? The appeal of the TRD engine was that it had 5 valves per cylinder instead of 4, and the regular 4A-GE sure as hell doesn't make 240 hp.

>>16504894
but that's just not true. the Formula Atlantic engine has 4 valves per cylinder. the 20v engines never had a race spec version. Also, the 4AGE is a very capable engine, especially the supercharged versions, or with a turbo.

>>16504124
rotaries are reliable though, they just have a very short lifespan compared to piston engines

Ok so what kind of shitbox should i buy if i like the trueno aesthetics?

>>16505116
specially the popping lights.

>>16504804

Oh, my apologies, anon, I thought you meant "stages of tuning", like some faggots talk sometimes specially in regards to VAG products.

Yeah, you're right. It must be said though that opponents for Dagumeeh Tofuboy became incredibly strong after 2nd stage so it stands to reason he needed the more powerful engine.

>wanting an overpriced shitbox because of a cartoon

manchildren everyone

actually, is there a car with higher meme tax than AE86 (relative to the actual value of the car)?

probably deloreans, right? anything else?

smokey and the bandit firebird?

As for OP, I own an AE86 but I didn't even know what Initial D was before I knew of the car. You need to do research on the car, recognize the problems that a 30 year old car will have, learn to use a wrench, make sure you're financially stable enough to own one. These are expensive cars now. Parts are scarce and pricey, at least OEM. Keep in mind that these cars are 30 years old, Japanese (rot boxes) and have a massive following. All three of those factors decrease supply, and with the large following, demand is increased.

You WILL be fixing things, these are old cars now. They're less likely to break down than most other cars from 30 years ago, but you WILL be fixing things. But these cars are so simple, an absolute moron could learn on them with a basic understanding of how a car works. Also, you do NOT want to drive it during the winter if you don't want it to fall to pieces because of rust.

Doesn't matter what anyone on /o/ says, the AE86 is a fantastic car, but DO NOT go into buying one uninformed. DO NOT go into buying one only because you like Initial D. DO NOT buy one if you want an inexpensive car. ONLY go into buying one if you're aware of the risks a 30 year old econo-sports car WILL have, are willing to learn to do your own repairs, and have disposable income.

In my opinion, OP, don't get one unless you improve on

For an inexperienced driver, getting an AW11 will most likely kill the driver

Also OP
Do not get an AE86 if you don't know how to work on/repair one (because it will have problems that need to be fixed) and don't get one if you can't drive manual. Do not get one if you are broke either because those things costs a lot due to the fanboy-tax.

They're super overpriced and you haven't been delivering tofu over a mountain pass at 4 in the morning with a cup of water daddy told you not to spill since you were 12 so you're just going to wreck the thing due to your lack of fundamentals and propensity to hoon.

Learn about cars first and learn to drive a manual, I recommend buying a Miata. Then save up your money and learn about other cars that you'd probably like a lot more than the 86. Best of luck OP!

>>16503974
It's a meme car. It's expensive as fuck and 99% of them are broken as fuck and are a moneypit. If you want to drive some sporty lightweight car that is fun just buy a Miata or something.

I want a manual 80s/90s ricer shitbox after watching Initial D but I want it to be affordable

I dig Civic Si's and Integras but they're always in such awful condition when people go to sell them

>>16503974
>urge to buy ae86
It will go away, just like the urge to buy a supra after watching the fast and the furious, or a skyline after the 2nd movie. The AE86 isn't as good or special as Initial D is making it look, as everyone already said, it's a 30 year old rustbucket shitbox.

Although it only shares the "86" in the name, you might want to look at the new 86, there's a good chance it's what you think a AE86 would be. If you're just after the 80s shitbox looks, get another generic 80s shitbox that doesn't have a huge fanbase of autistic nerds.

But its probably the best option to learn those things.. If he can afford the parts that is they arent exactly cheap.
