its in stock conditon.

i will start rebuilding it soon. but i got some questions.

here is not that much info and parts available.i think i have one

of the last 10 or 20 ones in austria.

supsension:

where can i find lowering springs? i think i will use koni shocks as they are nicely available here.

any strut bars recommended? where to get?

brakes:

where to find uprated brake pads?

sideskirts:

my car is w/o sideskirts. where can i get some?

wheels:

my car came with 6x13 ats wheels. (not on the pic) which size tires should i use for them?

LSD/tranny:

my car came with factory lsd. but i think i should overhaul it. car has 165000kms on it. tranny doesnt like high rpm shifting. it makes noises when doing so. any ideas?

anyone here from europe too?

thanks

Nice car my friend. I think some european guys hang out at www.club4ag.com see what happens. As for performance parts eBay is your best best, loads of bits in the UK but its the shipping to europe.

You could fit fibre-glass wings as they are cheap

Heres some pictures of ae86s in Ireland,
