I think you're best to go out in an AE86 before comitting to owning one.
I went out in one, and whilst being dynamically very good, you had to rev the knockers off of it just to get something out of it. Very drift biased attitude from people about them as well. You will be called a gayboy unless you drift every corner you come across. Just something I've noticed lol They are probably very good for grip though. However have you considered for the same type of money (£4k?) something like a 4 pot LHD M3?

i think id vtec it with an h20 engine martin. Like what was in my prelude.
Its just my work rubbing off on me. Do you by any chance know what weights you can get them down too . Ive done so much to the s12 that im not happy that its not perfect. I will look out for a mk2 f or g plate in as mint as poss condition. they do turn up and there cheap. Whereas i have the feeling the corrollas are going to cntinue to climb in value over the next few years

Very light, circa 1,000kg fully stripped. The 4age engine is supposed to be quite light as its fairly small as well. Its got a 5 link solid axle at the rear, which despite being a bit old hat for the time, is supposed to be quite good for drifting. I would however try to get some opinions of them when used as a grip car though. When I went out in one it was just drifted so can't comment too much on what it was like on a chase.

 ] judging from the way you vanished off down a strip of road on the drive home I'd say yours was pretty darn near perfect really for a 20 year old car.no denying the corrolla do make a lovery noice though at full chat

Yeah I agree with Wocketfast. They are overpriced due to the drifting heritage, but realistically you don't get a lot for your money. They aren't like the Honda vtec's, which surge at their rpm limit, you just have to try very hard with the 4Age engine.
I'd prefer a Mk1 Escort with a tuned Pinto...

you dont get alot with the cars at my work. Try spending 45k on a 150hp stipped out alfa gta or 38k for a wooden marcos with a 1800 amazon engine with 170hp. when im surrounded with cars like that 4k for a corrola seems reasonable
