There are so many "do it yourselfers" compared to previous chassis I've owned. It's hard to maintain these cars as a daily driver. The parts can be a little hard to come across ( Although I don't think so) and the chassis is much different than most 90s JDM (think of the multilink rear and front spindle/hub alone).
I dunno, I just get so annoyed because I've made a lot of friends here and everyone who talks to me about my car is super cool and down-to-earth. It's been the best experience I've had with a chassis.

A BIG blow recently came to pass with photo-sucket requiring payment to post.....
As to the current crop of younger participants.... I've been involved in 4AGs for 23 years now
An additional thought........ remember when people use to BASH newbies because they DIDN'T search........ now they wonder where the activity is...... I'm guessing they learned how to search

its all really up to us to keep it alive, its up to our old asses haha, cuz honestly the average age of the 86 owner is 30 and up lol, see very few youngsters and most young owners just own them briefly well atleast here in Cali. But i think car culture here in Cali in general is a shadow of what it used to be, i have 20yr old brother and he like almost all his friends dont care for a drivers license, dont care for a car(they just uber) and the closest they get to a car is in video games and movies lol its depressing : /grappletech wrote:There is always "natural disasters" on these boards. I really miss these forums as I would save the posts and read them later. This was in Iraq where I had crappy internet and made amazing friends here i.e Jeonsah. I really plan on telling others about the BBS sites, mainly this one. I hope we can bring this community together!

This was a few weeks ago at a local car meet. Somehow managed to get all the KY86 owners together for once Lol. Unfortunately the white coupe was wrecked this past weekend, but the owner is well on her way to getting another one up and running.
If anyone on here is from the central KY area hit me up!!

I just thought I would respond to add some positivity to this thread too. I'm a early 20s 86 owner that semi-recently purchased a 85 zenki coupe and am super thrilled to be a part of this community. After lurking a long time and getting information about the car I finally was able to go out and buy an 86 but had to put off fixing it up due to a lack of funds. I finally have some now and hope to restore/fix it up to its glory days and make a build that would make the OGs proud. I plan on doing it the right way and am so glad that club4AG exists. I think it's really cool when I see people that still respond to threads or build threads for ideas and information. I hope to be on here more often and will try to keep you all updated on how the build is going (I'll probably post things as long as I can scrape money for parts )

Right there with you dude! Early 20s / new 86 owner. You should make a little build thread and post often.
