View Full Version : My Built not bought 20v AE86 (project go slow)
Well where do I start I bought this ae86 back in 2006 and before that any car I got I sold after a few months this is the only car I could settle on. It came into the country with the following mods
Vertex kit
Revolver coilovers
TRD 2 Way
15" XR4 Longchamps
+
Completely Standard 16v

So after a bit of researching (at the time nobody had done a 20v road conversion in Ireland before) so all the info and parts I needed had to be sourced outside the country, things like waterline kit had to be got direct from japan not like the way it's easy to get them now. I began by collecting parts

Mods that I dont have pics of:
Full T3 complete polybush
Toda 212mm Lightweight flywheel
FGK 4 branch
RS Chita waterline kit
TRD Engine mounts
Koyo wheel bearings
Sard FPR
Sytec/Walbro 255 lph fuel pump
OEM Toyota Realease Bearing
OEM Toyota Pilot Bearing
TRD 20v Headgasket
OEM 20v Timing Belt,Tensioner,Pulley
Mishimoto rad
Oil cooler + relocater
Cusco 6 point cage with door bars
J-Blood rear spats
J-Blood skirts
Also
Got a deep dish suede wheel
Redline taillights
In the meantime I sourced an engine in a local scrappy was unbelievably lucky at the time he was only a mile away and my last resort.
When I got all together I got in touch with Ronan from Roco performance one of the soundest down to earth lads you will meet with very reasonable prices and an extreme talent for fabrication. He converted the whole lot for me in less than 2 weeks and had it ready for mapping.
I bought an OMEX 600 series ECU with bosch coilpacks mapped by Martin treacy in Westward top man and very easy to deal with it made 164bhp which dosnt sound like a whole lot but believe me it is serious craic. So the end result

Christ on a bike,Have you added up what Its costing you,20V's werent cheap back then!
Some amount of parts gone into it.
Skip to present day as this was done about 2 years ago. I ordered a brand new set of wheels last week which should be here shortly will have pics up when they land. A new set of coilovers is also been purchased its a toss up between the new version of BC or DW/HSD's whenever there realeased waiting to see what price they be as they seem a better job been inverted and stuff. The cousin is a panel beater so anyday now the cam is getting stripped back to the shell engine out and getting a full spray job either going with all black bearing in mind the new wheels are bronze or all a deep blood red coulor not sure yet?
Also have a serious lack of lock which needs to be sorted asap i meant to say I also converted to manual rack too.
Just to sum up im not building this to be some dreamer drifter its more of a hobby for me known I have a complete ae86 that im proud of and enjoying a few trackdays here and there

Here you can see my need for new coilovers lol.

what wheels you order dude?
what wheels you order dude?
Not Watanabe's anyway I had planned on getting 2 14x10's (rear) and 2 14x9's (front) but the original price shot up over €600 from the original quote I got so I kept searching for something nice and found these
15x8 0+offset is the best size I could get them in but also have 25mm spacers going on the rear with 20mm on the front.

oh yeah!
tell them not to bother chucking in the wheels caps:D
looking forward to seeing this!
Hopefully turns out the way I want im ditching the TRD spoiler too. Still undecided wheter to put on the J-Blood spats and skirts or the leave standard rear bumper no skirts and slam that mofo on the ground.
I meant to say im ditching that front bumper too. I got an 87 bumper with 84 splitter mounted low down to go on instead.
nice thread / build ... battle version xtra lock kit is the job lad, you should look into getting that.
@subzero
Yea seen the battle version kit a few times might give it a blast and see.

The Red I was thinking

17-03-10, 11:33
deep blood red man
With the ae86 trackday day date set it gave me a bit of a kick in the arse to do something with the cam so met a lad today who was selling wings and fired them on. The standard front bumper with splitter I got off cloko that time that also went on as with the redlines. Kinda liking the no sideskirts and standard back bumper dont know whether to put the J-Blood gear on. I'm gonna leave it the way it is if I get it ready in time for the trackday and then strip it again for paint as the paint is in an awful state at the min theres pink/red/purple and blue on it lol.....,
http://i44.tinypic.com/wkfd6b.jpg
Oh yea got word on the wheels too shouldnt be any more than 2 weeks away hopefully sooner!!
just my opinion but it looks waaaaaaaaaaaay better with out the kit, get it all sprayed up and leave the bumpers black, winner winner chicken dinner. our ae86s can be like brothers ba ha....
ya going for red?
just my opinion but it looks waaaaaaaaaaaay better with out the kit, get it all sprayed up and leave the bumpers black,
Yea I think im leaving the kit off. I dunno what colour to go for Id prefer Black but it'd be a bitch of a job as I wouldnt be happy unless the engine bay and interior was done to. If I go Red all ive to worry about is the exterior but Black is my first preference. The cousin will be spraying it so may talk to him nicely and see lol.

Are you spraying your bumpers with that textured black paint or are they sprayed just Black?

not texture paint on my bumpers i used the finest of grafitti paint did the trick lovely, easy touched up when they get a scratch ya know yourself..
hmm yes black would be nice, but its a tough colour to look after shows up every lil scratch and shit...

You can run as much lock as you want without blowing seals on a manual rack. Also manual rack is best for feedback.
Fairplay Jay. I remember considering to even buy your car when it was still 16v back in the day lol. Seems so long ago now. What colour did you go for on the wheels? I'd be a big fan of the black. Although I've a bit of a fetish for all black or at least dark colour wheels. Cant wait to see them fitted. Something I havent seen before on an 86 anyway

Haha didnt know you were going to buy it, That was a long time ago now I cant see it ever been sold now. I went for Gold/Bronze in the wheels and im 97.5% sure im going all Black lol in colour with the car. With so many ae86's about and everyone into different styles its hard to be extra different so thats why I went for the wheels have never seen them in Ireland and never seen them on an ae86 so should be good, Could turn out to be a disaster yet sometimes different dosnt always mean good I still dream of the day of ordering a brand new set of wats but I cant see that happening for a while atleast until the currency changes. At the minute there €1600 for 2 x 14x10's and 2 x 14x9's with mega neg offsets I couldnt justify paying that for them so im going to wait to see if a decent 2nd hand set come up but even then there usually always over the 1k mark so I dunno????:confused::confused:

Although he's fairly ok when I ask him for days off at short notice. Hopefully I get going to the trackday now take the Friday off.

Can you not just transfer your insurance over for the day? I presume it wont be taxed but if you say it is just back on the road that day I'd presume you'd be fine.

I work as a tyre wholesaler cant be giving out trade secrets now can I!! All I can say even tho were in the trade these were fucking expensive!! Still cheaper than camskill but not by a whole lot. The T1R's are a different story can get them fairly right. Could have got r888 for around the same price but I want to drive the cam on the road as well and R1R's were the best all rounder r888 are a bit hairy in the wet!!

T1R's are in a completely different league to these (lower one obviously) T1R's are excellent value but not up there with Goodyear F1's or RE050's. They got a name a few years back and became the brand whore's choice of tyre there been used less and less now BUT the R1R's and R888's are unreal just a pity there so frigging dear!! The R1R's are semi-slick the T1R's are not.
T1R = Great budget tyre for everyday driving
R1R = Excellent wet/dry tyre to be used at the odd trackday
R888 = Grippy mother fucker in the dry scary mother fucker in the wet really should only be used as a track tyre only although they will pass the NCT so...??

It will be Tuesday now cause of the bank holiday. I dont have them in stock. Had to order them 2 for meself that was a month or 2 ago but if I dont pm ya Tuesday PM me cause ive a head like a sibh.
them wheels have serious lookin offset:D
15x8 0+/- offset is the best size I could get them in so thats what I went for. Have spacers for it too so should make it that bit more interesting.
Just read through full thread, nice build, looking forward to seein pics of these wheels on, was only looking at them the last day, did you with gold or bronze, hard to tell from pics...?

There Gold.
god they do look like a serious offset, cant wait to see them on the car.....
Got the 2 sets of coilovers fitted today (me and the cousins) and trial fitted the wheels on his cam, There fair mental looking in person the pic dont do it any justice these pics are without spacers.
http://i41.tinypic.com/wvpxyw.jpg
http://i40.tinypic.com/2m6veh5.jpg
Also anyone thinking of a new set of coilovers and are on a budget the BC's are well worth it. I couldnt drive mine on the road because its not insured but the cousins was sound not to hard on the road but not too soft either just right!! 30 way adjustment on them too.. Michael in Barry's Motorsport is who I got mine off, Sound lad and easy to deal with.

car look savage keep up the gud work:p
Fibreglass bootlid + TRD spoiler moulded in all in one job ordered today. Once this comes, Ive to do 2 front wheel bearings then its going for paint. A quick trip up to Martin to have her running sweet and I can be finally back on the road after nearly a 2 year wait yipee (back to annoy Greg in the soup haha). Should have it back well before xmas fingers crossed. Also thinking of changing wheels again. :(

Savage dude, well ware :)
Thanks, I'm afraid I'm not gonna like it after paint, I'm terrible, constatly changing my mind. I wanted all black, now I'm going red with black bumpers but still the red along the top of the bumpers. If the wheels dont suit was thinking of getting the same as Darren Mc's 13" compomotive's in the same specs? I think that colour scheme might work better, sitting on its arse with mild rear arches sumtin like EBN or Runfree (not full over fenders not to gone on them)? :confused::confused::confused:

The ones on the "N2" would be awesome in a 14 or 15 x 9 -28 or so all round!
Yeah man all the money youv spent itd be a shame to sit it on those wheels i think.None of the car there are doin it for me personaly.
What about this guy jay hes got em on ebay in 14 and 15

I think 15's be a bit of overkill on my little 165bhp thats part of the reason I might put mine up for sale but i'll what its like once its on the road. CXR's are the ones I'm talking about

I would absolutely love a set of wats but I always back out of paying huge money for wheels I just cant bring myself to pay €1500 for them (im still waiting for that one person who dosnt know what there selling to snap up a bargain lol I missed a few times!! you've got to be quick on 86irl). A set of comps in 13x10 like this with 13x8 fronts works out about 700odd (I know there not comps in the pic but same spec's)
13x10's

Stop messing with my head lads please. I have myself dimented trying to decide what way to go style/colour
Exactly like above,Arches too!

Exactly like above,Arches too!
this aint offroadirl lads that thing looks awful! Its a top quality car full of top products but its all over the place FACT.
CXR's are the ones yeah but 13's are awful hard to pull off beacuse your cars body would be scraping the ground evrywhere you go and the suspension simply wouldnt wouldnt work..they look good there because the tyre used is the perfect profile to bridge the wheels and arches.Probably 65-70
14s are the minimum id go 15s are the max.but yeah 14's!
theyd be awesome do eiit!
I'm talking about the paint scheme you langer LoL
This came this morning.
http://i51.tinypic.com/23hx16v.jpg
if i was you i would be spending me money on some rimmage...
forget about the paint for now...if you have some 9j ssr's or wats it will make the car look badass regardless of the paint
i know its crazy money to be spending money on wheels but you will always get it back if you want to sell them...think of it as an investment:D

Nobody wants to sell what they have. i'm flat out pm'ing loads of people looking for wheels but they either dont reply or say they dont want to sell. I cant drive round a car with blue wings,purple bumper,white unpainted bootlid, pink roof and black bonnet. When the right wheels come up I'm determined to get them this time around, those works are too big.
Gone for paint and booked with Martin for 11th of next month for some tinkering with, Next up is trying get to cheap car insuuuuuurance!!!

Will be over with the lad spraying her friday evening for some pics of it feeling sorry for itself. AE86irl trackday on 30th next month so all guns blazing to have it ready for that.

Picked up a set of Silk Road caster arms today. Want the front end to be planted at all times.

Good man looking forward to seeing it.
Lot of money gone into this baby!
Lot of money gone into this baby!
More than I care to add up or remember, seriously over the last 3-4 years of modding it, it must be well into 5 figures anyway id say, The LCA's were €400 like, there a rare item so ya have to pay for the best stuff, The way I see it tho is this is the only RWD car for me, IF I mean a big IF, I find I havent enough power and have the need for more I'm not just gonna sell it and buy a silvia/180 etc I'll just spend the money doing an engine conversion on this as it with will have every adjustable arm/suspension bits etc,
These met me at the door when I came in from work, Earlier than expected too,

The fella spraying the car was on a weeks hols last week kinda fucked up my plans for the 86irl trackday, hope to have it back next week, Insurance is proving to be the hardest thing so far!

looks cool.. not liking the other wheels.. but the meisters are unreal..
that would be unreaaaaaall if you had 4 of them misters, loooking awsome cant wait to see it when the ride height is sorted...
I know, I'd love 4 meisters myself but only 2 came up for sale, I'll snap up 2 more if they ever come up, the colour is slightly off between the 2 different wheels but sure feck it I'm not the one who gets to fussy over things like that,

I agree, I dont think its the grill tho, I think the standard bumper/splitter combo is to high for the 15's, I have the splitter down as far as it would go, I think in the future I might have to get the MCN Goodline replica bumper to bring the front of it down but I dont want to go back to fibreglass would break your heart, It wont be till after xmas anyway enough spending done for a while, I save up a bit, go mad, then it could be months before I do anything again lol, Almost a year went one stage where I didnt do a tap with it!

goodline bumper wont bring the front down.The lip is nowhere near as far as it can go.The meisters are awesome but there way nicer up front i dont like the spurious wheels atal but theyd be grand on the back in black so as to take the attention off them..Did you roll your arches before you sprayed it?

The splitter is down as far as it can go, I bought the combo 2nd hand it's only when I separated the 2 I realized someone cut away the very bottom of the bumper meaning I couldn't mount it any lower, I didn't roll the arches as I didn't know I was going to own 2 Meisters by the time it was finished just came across them by chance, why won't the Goodline bumper bring it down, must be lower than what I have?
did you get the knuckles off

Aaah i see that sucks..oem bumpers can achieve circa 2ft mark! Only bumpers to touch them for thickness is cby,mercury r or the old winds auto..i have a new goodline bumper here in comparison they need to go on cars that are decked to achieve the look they give.Otherwise you can modify them like most of the japs do for the most awesome though ultimate in designed to explode - bumpers. ha
Are you putting on power steering knuckles or just changing the lca's?

Picked up a 3rd Meister at the weekend at the meet, So have two 15x8.5 -18's and one 15x9 -15 now so need one more to complete the set. Had a great day at the meet got a right feel for the car, More seat time now at upcoming trackdays and I'll be happy,

Just read the last 144 comments , took a hell of a long time but well worth it , awesometastic build , one more meister and your sorted :D Will defo follow this thread for more updates :eek:
Thanks, have a few plans for it in the coming weeks, hopefully all goes to plan. Will be getting the engine bay painted too!!
Gonna be a serious motor in coming months!
very nice lad nice spec :)
Oooohhh first time I tried on the new Meister the rear is light metallic gold the front is just metallic gold I think I rather the rear colour, I have to order one more so might order the light metallic gold and get the front 2 matched (might be a bit of job matching colour can anyone shed any light on that colour codes maybe?).

are the fronts wider? or is there more aggressive offset on the front?
Hard to judge from pics cause the car could do with a wash but looks immense.

Ya lighter gold really suits it.
I'd say you'll have to paint all 4 to get them right tho

Front = 15x8.5 -18
Rear = 15x9.0 -15

I choped off the spats lowered the front lip and droped the car down a few inches...
http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p262/D1IRL/jays86.jpg
looks gangster! get the roller out and flare the arches out :D
Wow twinky I like that! Thanks for the chop
I picked up a set of 2nd hand EBN arches that was going cheap just to have there but gonna see what they look like on it for the craic, I wont be able to roll the arches as some dick jap fella cut the inner lip with a saw instead of rolling them and left the 2 panels unwelded together so I had to get a bit of work during the paint job, filler and shit, so rolling the shit out of them will make shit of the paint,
Bit of prepping for saturday, Project Mu D1 Spec rear pads with a real low operating temp suppose to be unreal for handbraking and a tow hook for any misadventures!

tbh it completly depends on what Jay wants at this stage... do you want it now to be a track car or do you want to build it back to the sexy road car it was...
a booted trueno would be cool.. :cool:

I have an A3 as an everyday car, The 86 was my only road car until 2 years ago, It was parked up for over a year and every week I used to look at it and say to myself one day I'l finish you and drive it the way I want to and not care what hapens to it, as when it was a full on road car I used to be always minding it etc but the attitude I had before this incident was "if I crash I crash" I'm not going to hold back cause of that, Ah my head is still a mess I dont know what I want to do.
