Apex 693 Report post Posted January 21, 2013 A shame, looks like a nice example and is i the most desirable configuration too. I wish him luck finding that. Bugger, will keep an eye out. It's not exactly a common car, wonder what they will do with it They were when I was a teenager, starting to feel old, you could buy them a dime a dozen, a mint one would run you 4-5k at the most, a rough 1987 AE86 Twin-Cam $500... then they were ignored for a few years and rust happened. There are still a fair few around though, I know several people who have up to seven of them in storage, they make great Rally cars but are over rated at road cars, you need to spend a bloody fortune to make them as good as what people think they are! Give me a nice M325i any day, much better car! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
max 27 Report post Posted January 21, 2013 Will keep an eye out too. I've only seen 2 panda 86's round recently, one resides at the vtnz on Lichfield. I used to have an ae85 notchback. Fully regret selling that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

euroriffic 603 Report post Posted February 2, 2013 Such a shame to see a car meet its end like that. Especially something that is becoming quite hard to find these days and one that someone has put so much effort into. Hope karma catches up with the mongrels that took it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael. 2312 Report post Posted February 2, 2013 Jesus Christ, that's horrendous! Insurance or not, I feel for the owner. Those are a great iconic Toyota.

Top Secret 2 Report post Posted February 2, 2013 Argghhhh.. I echo the sentiments of the above posts. Guys, I think we should do another group buy for GPS trackers. I'm keen for at least one, for when I make the move to a Silvia or something with increased risk of theft Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave@nz 11 Report post Posted February 3, 2013 It would be gut wrenching for the owner and take a while to get over it. If you have something you care about keep it well locked up and under guard when it is not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nipe 1 Report post Posted February 3, 2013 It's hard to fingerprint a burnt out shell.So spray can paint on it and all the dents are there to remove the fingerprints? I understand the burn part, but why kick and vandalise the sh*t out of it??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hybrid 1039 Report post Posted February 4, 2013 Why would someone do this to a car...even if they got it for free. Where is all this hate coming from??? I was up in the Far north one time lining up for ice cream when one of the locals with a rather mint looking HSV, just drives hard up onto the curb at full speed with his mates. Jump out, get some beers then drive off hitting the curbs again and again .. People who do this sort of thing dont really care about much in life let a lone the car they just stole.

Even with insurance he will not get back what it is worth nor will get back the hours spent working on the thing. Wast of what looked like a nice AE86 for what was probably some suspension and wheels. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yng_750 247 Report post Posted February 4, 2013 yea looks like the front suspension is missing. hopefully it might get spotted somewhere. i would be very very keen for a couple of gps trackers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apex 693 Report post Posted February 4, 2013 I use a Track-it system on my cars, its handy to have when you leave your car in the hands of service people also, you can get real time GPS maps on where they are driving and how fast they are going. Also handy when questioning speeding tickets. http://www.trackit.co.nz/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Top Secret 2 Report post Posted February 5, 2013 I should probably start doing some proper research on GPS trackers soon, as there are a plethora of different options. Deal Extreme sell them, so there is the prospect of a discount Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
