Hono, got anything special in store for the motor, a turbo perhaps?

If you like drag, you shouldnt be in an AE86 anyways.

Those cars are the best to learn on, cuz theyre so damn tough to drift. All the real good drifters in Japan(ya that sounds ricey, but its true)started out on an AE86, or had one at one point

I like all sorts/types of racing. except ASSCAR. I can't see driving in a circle for 500 miles just to end up where I started to begin with.

You have inspired me. I just bought one of these kits on EBAY. It will probably be my next one after the R33 is finished.

I'm planning to add a section on my website for Datsun models at some point. My site is dedicated to Datsun/Nissan cars up to aroung 1982 (when the Datsun brand was dropped in export markets)

A datto/old Nissan (say pre 1988 - ie before the S13 chassis cars...) meet would be cool since thats all I'm building or so it seems Plenty of potential models, from the C10 and C110 skylines through the C210, DR30, R31 , 510s, S30-130 Z's, S12 silvia/gazelle, Y31's , Z31s, 720, 411 bluebird, 310 Auster/sunny.....

But other old jap cars of the same era would be good to have too, celica xx's, old RA/TA2x celicas, TE27 levins, AE86 mitsubishi starions, 80's style FC's, SA22C RX7's, and so on.

Either meet would be cool... Give me some time to finish some more R31's, my DR30, and my 1979 Z1000 Kawasaki though ...
