Well..the insurance company is gonna see if my car is actually totaled or not even though i can drive it. but they gotta see if fixing it will cost more then its worth. If it is totaled then i will go lookin for a MANUAL 240 or an AE86 (which i really want). I'm just wondering what you guys think about the AE86? I'm gonna drift with whichever car i decide to get...

ae86 ROCK! :) if you are looking for somthing in that time period i would also look at FC rx-7s. Although i hear both of thoes cars are much harder to drift stock than s13/14's.

The ae86 is neat and all but I think it takes too much to make it really competative. If you get one do not get an sr5. You will be sorry if you do. Unless you plan on swsapping motors and doing a lot of suspension work. Also they are garanteed not to have factory lsd. Make sure to get a gts. Fun cars though. Look out for rust on the rear quarters/ fender wells.

The coupe is more rigid. Either way though if you take it out to an autocross then its gonna be all sorts of fun. BruceLee is trying to trade his nice 86 for an auto hatch back s13. It's in the buy sale trade section. Looks nice.
