Has anyone ever built a rear/mid engined AE86?

I don't know, but if someone through a 1JZ in the back and did it Group B style, I wouldn't shun them.

That is how it should have been done.

I feel if the MR2 had competition from another Japanese manufacturer that the affordable mid-mount sports car would have continued as a segment.

I think it really would have. Imagine if the Miata had have been the mid-engined concept.

Sigh. I did anticipate that.

Did the NA Miata sell alongside the Series 4/5 RX7? The one with the injected, non-turbo (some might say NA) 13B...

NA started in '89 and the FC RX7 ended in '91, so yes it did.

I hope not as we have a lot of boring car that could be made more interesting. AE86 is great just the way it is.

I don't get why you'd want to other than to say you did it. It's already pretty perfectly balanced.
