my ae111 levin with the 4AGE took a fair amount of abuse, quite often revving to 8k, only because you felt like you had had too though. it never once gave me problem,i would have thought in the scooby you acheive your peak power/torque at lower revs so theres no need to rev that high?

Okay just to maybe tempt ppl in and show them what this car is like to drive and sounds like I'll add a few videos. I have no decent ones of the actual car but I might make one.
Anyway the vids of the famous TRD Trueno owned by keiichi tsuchiya. Probably one of the most famous AE86s in the world. How are they relevant to my car? Well....
Both have the same 20v engine, toda cams, itbs, freedom ecu, trd gearset, final drive, trd suspension springs, trd blue shocks, and make very roughly the same power. However his makes that power on Jap fuel and mine makes it (without being fully mapped for it and so not making full potential) on 95 ron fuel.
However mine has better brakes, smaller wheels (14" rather than 15" so better for acceleration), wider wheels (so better for grip), much better tyres, lighter inside, lighter outside (fibreglass and carbon panels), roll cage (add rigidity aswell as safety), and much more suspension upgrades. If keiichi were to own my car and have time to set it up as well as his own then mine would be quicker.
So these vids are very relevant to my car and will really give you the best idea of what it would be like to own and drive it, although it wont make you as good a driver as him lol
. Enjoy!
Firstly just having some fun and this will let you know what my car sounds like

Now to some races and first at home on the touge. Pretty much nothing beats it on the downhill touge (it has lost to JWRC Swift rally car though after winning countless challenges). Heres it is against a R34-GTR:

Now it and another AE86 gang up on a R34-GTR V-Spec on the track. This is really impressive as its not on a downhill where power isnt as important:

Against a civic Type-R:

And against an Integara Type-R (which in fairness doesnt seem to be set-up great):

Loads more can be found online!

Have gotten alot of p/x offers but nothing I really want to take. No cash offers and nobodys come to see it yet. But its only on a few forums so wouldnt really expect to sell it till I put it on carzone or in the autotrader etc.

Okay a big bump and a huge price drop. Now looking for 9,200 ono as going to Canada in June. Grab yourselves a real bargain. If you cant contact me on this, email me at Brian_egan@live.com.
Also the door was damaged from an attempted robbery (couldnt start it though cause of the kill switch). Its been fixed to stop rain etc getting in but hasnt been sprayed so is just in primer. Heres pics of the door as it stands, window trim (rubber etc.) havent been put back on in the pic, and its taken on a cold morning so condensation etc. Not really that bad:
