Wise choice. Everyone wants to be Takumi with the AE86, but you just went straight to Bunta. Haha. Seriously though, beautiful car, love those things.

Be Careful, The transmission and clutch like to fall out of those cars. I know a couple guys with em and they love em. Just all of them have done transmission work.
