	Been reading the threads in here for a while, so i thought it was about time i joined, so here's my motor... This is my 2nd now, and has a number of mods, including TRD headgsket & ported head (done before i bought it), blueflame ss exhaust, Fensport -35mm springs and KYB dampers, 17" Arospeed GT's on Toyo rubber...erm...red calipers...that's about it ;D. I know it's not the most retro car out there, but they have become very rare now

	That looks really smart. Well done that man and welcome to the forum. Perhaps another 4-AGE in the back too would sort out any of those FWD-related negative points! ;D

	Cool. Always fancied having a go in an AE82 but never got round to owning one yet. Looks to be in good condition. How much difference do the engine mods make? Or have you not tried one standard. I know when I had my AE86 the fensport ported head was supposed to take it up to about 145-150BHP with no other mods.

	thanks guys Cool. Always fancied having a go in an AE82 but never got round to owning one yet. Looks to be in good condition. How much difference do the engine mods make? Or have you not tried one standard. I know when I had my AE86 the fensport ported head was supposed to take it up to about 145-150BHP with no other mods. my last one was standard, engine wise. it certainly hasn't taken it up to 145bhp. it wasn't me who had it ported, so i don't honestly know for sure that it has been done. obviously, i was told it was. all i can base it on, is that it feels torquier than my last one, especially in 5th on the motorway. and the fact that when i picked this one up, i still had my old one, and me and my dad raced them away from a standing start, and this one was slightly quicker. having said that, it's had a full engine rebuild, with the bottom end from the AE92 used, so it could just be that it's in a healthier state ;D i'll have to look into that fensport head though. i've gotten used to the performance now...and a focus ST170 beat me the other day

	Nice car, but what's with the multiple-thread necro-age?

	I think this 82's been sold on since then- I remember it being up for sale last year anyway, wherther it sold or not is another question I havent seen it at the J meet I used to see it at since. It really was as good as it looks in the pics....
