My AE85 Trueno

[japman2202]

Well ive been on here a while now and never bothered putting up a thread so better late than never.

Dont really know where to start with this car as its had many ups and downs, lots of downs like pistons cracking, shitty mechanics raping my arse etc

I bought the car the start of January 2008, car had carbs on a 4age 16v.
4age conversion with t50 gearbox and ae86 axle with a 2way diff was done in japan.

Car came in with Toda 288/304 8.5mm cams, rollcage, bucket seat, fully stripped interior, rx7 oil cooler, bigger rad with twin electric fans, rare 14inch southern ways 4spoke wheels, trd shocks all round.

Had a standard high torque bottom end, ending up cracking a piston.
Engine got rebuilt with a new standard toyota piston and cracked another piston

So Driftma (Marty) got his hands on it and rebuilt its being pulling like a train since.

The engine is built about 2 years now and is now running on 20v silvertop throttle bodies mapped on an omex 600 by Robbie in TDP and made 202bhp and 144lbft of torque

Not bad for a lil n/a 1600

Il post up some pics of the changes made since i bought the car back in 2008 and i just wana give a big thanka Driftma (Marty) for all the work he's done to the car to get it to where it is now. Serious man when it comes to building an engine or any other sort of mechanical shizz.

I wana thank all the other lads that helped me out to too since ive gotten the car like Famous Jh, Nickae86, Diesel-Dick, Fiachra, etc etc
