Reminds me of a ae86 :P. I was wondering if anyone knew a place or someone that sold taillights for a s12. Also whats your guys opinion on it?

Ha yeh ae86 are fun too, my dad bought a panda straight out the factory. Its pretty cheap, it would be a good price just for the motor itself. . I just need to find some darn taillights :/

lol.. um yeah sure, do you own an s12? anyways just giving my imput i agree it is a AE86 KILLER. features are awesome too... 1984-1986 turbo w/ digital package is really neat! look into the FJ20ET motors as well they're a direct bolt up. as are ca's and sr's pretty much.

Lol, they are a waste of time. Unless you like headaches, throwing money at an old p.o.s, and rust.

what would it kill an ae at?? the drag strip? yeah corollas are slow.. they arent meant to drag race...

this argument is pointless.. we arent ever doing to agree on this so lets agree to disagree..

i like s12's but i like a corolla better...

lol no man, the handling, the power to weight ratio. The styling/build. (my personal opinion). the technology features.. automatic wind shield wipers, power options, digital computer that talks to you, with a damn nice digital dash (better than ae86). The engine and engine swap potentials. Overall just the exterior/interior styling very nice. Reminiscent of classis 80 model jap. sports cars. Don't get me wrong i like hachi roku's too, just not as much after driving both. btw it makes a great drift car! just like s13's

like i said its all preferance.

i love my hachi way better than my 240's.. and i havent had a slow 240.

i like how they handle, brake, and how they over all look.

as for accessories, thats really not what i look at for an 80's sports car.
