Is there such a beast? :lol:

The 82 should be lighter, though AE92's arent that heavy either. Go for whichever you like the look of best

AE92 would be easier to get rust free body panels for, but I prefer the look of the AE82 - and I own an AE92!

by **DEVILE** » Sat Sep 16, 2006 7:02 pm

Yeah I searched long and hard to find the ae82...been owned since imported and always garaged..I prefer the cubier ae82 ..just wondered if one was lighter than the other .....

According to the TRD bible the AE82 FX is 90kg lighter than the AE92 FX

well i think you can get the ae82 a bit lighter than the ae92.

down side is certain parts like lamps are getting hard to find for the ae82.

by **DEVILE** » Mon Sep 18, 2006 5:30 pm

Thanks for that.....I do prefer the ae82 as well....nice to know theyre a bit lighter than ae92

by **B1NZ** » Mon Sep 18, 2006 6:28 pm

Id go for the 92, for less problems with rust and finding bits.

90kg's pffft, just take the fuel tank off :lol:

by **bluemaumau** » Mon Sep 18, 2006 6:42 pm

id go 92 aswell, i also prefer the 82 shape, but the 92 looks like (not from personal experience or anything, just a comment) it would handle better, read, its wider and lower, were as the 82 like a lego square.

plus easier to find parts, bolt on bits etc.

get afacelift and rust shouldnt be a prob.

sweet!
