thats uncalled for :(:( /grr hurt my feelings lol

[ritch_w]

that is the mutts nuts :thumbsup:

great cars but ridiculously over priced nowadays

[Quail]

Awesome cars. Keiichi Tsuchiya said its one of the most fun cars you can drive, and hes driven just about every performance japanese car!! You can push it to its absolute limits. I love AE86s, they just hold their value a bit too well imo!

[Legnum Lad VR4]

lol yeah i know they do hold there money, classix cars now, if i ever decide to sell i will make the money back on it no problem i reckon




and here is my plans in the long run
AE86 wish LIST

ENGINE
ECU- £290 (bought)
FORGED PISTONS- £530 (JE)
CAMS- £380 (self fit) get em dialed iin when tuning is being done (HKS
PULLEYS- £160 (self fit) (hks)
EXZUAST- 120 (self fit) (fensport)
4-1 MANIFOLD- £145 (self fit)(fensport
AIR FILTER- £32 (self fit) (fensport)
VALVE SPRINGS- £95 (hks)

SUSPENSION
BILSTEIN FRONT STRUTS -40mm- £220 (self fit)
BILSTEIN REAR STRUTS -40mm- £160 (self fit)

Total parts = £2132

Labour- fitting of parts and tuning- £400

Total cost = £2532

According to Jason at mtte the above will net you (with good tuning) 180-190bhp or 160ish @ the wheels

picked the car up yesterday and it is very very twitchy, rock solid on the back and very soft on the front, there are adjustable shocks at the rear(manufacture unknown), adjutable camber plates at the front(manufacture unknown), strut brace(manufacture unknown), there is already a 4-1 manifold on it, manuacture unknown, it has an LSD i think,


the car seems very very fast, might have been fettled already. the speed i fu**ed up, accurate to 30mph then it is out way way out, speedo was reading 180 lol

one or 2 spots of rust but nothing major

taking it to my jap man today for a check over

Top looking motor.. how does it sound?

[Brunty]

That's got to be a great conversation when the man pulls you over.

Traffic Cop: Do you know what speed you were doing son?
Legnum Lad VR4: errr....180?

[Big Ian]
