    Arrow Ae86 booter rebuild

    Well lawds
    Just said I'd stick up this build thread of my mates 86 reg booter Ae86 that I am currently doing for him
    firstly to start off the booter is by far one of the cleanest in the country, few on here can vouch for that
    Initially bought it from Doofer on here back in 2009 and since then it has covered a whopping 4000 miles
    It came with a low torque 4age that was in need of a little tlc so we got valves re seated head skimmed new valve seals and put a Trd metal head gasket on it but it was always a plan to put in a new plant once money was there

    So the low torque 4age above is for sale too if anybody wants it

    We had considered few options such as 20v, f20c, Sr20 and 4agze

    But to keep it Toyota and narrow it down it had to be 20v or 4agze, some may remember i having a poll up here asking which ye would choose and as to why
    Well it did help and it pushed us in the direction we wanted to go from day 1, and so it was 4agze 1600 supercharged

    So the search began to buy a complete car with 4agze runnin gear, went to see quite a few including one dirt bag of a purple levin in cork
    Anyhow we ended up buying a Corolla Ceres in Clare
    The owner was bang on and had receipts and paperwork stacked mountain high for it
    He had bought the engine from a half cut in maylasia and had it built by engine specialist in maylasia
    He took us into house to show us a DVD of the complete engine build from start to finish
    Summit I have never seen before by and engine builder
    Even showed him setting torque wrench and tightening everything to Toyota spec even down to the nuts on the thermostat housing

    With hardly any reason to drive the car as it only had 11k kilometres on it since fitted...we still did anyhow and it pulled well in every gear
    So we brought it on
    The owner gave us everything he ever had for car right down to the bottle of oil for the supercharger
    He had receipts for 3.7k for buying engine and building engine and shipping of engine to Ireland, all of which I have to prove and I will upload pics of them later

    So I drove it for a week or so just to make sure there was goin to be nothing wrong with it and to break it in gently as it had being parked for awhile
    Good fun car to drive for a fwd, it is runnin 1 bar boost
    And with that all done it was time to pull out the tools and start ripping them both

    At this stage I would also like to mention if anyone would like a corolla Ceres rolling shell now is the time to contact me
    Be funky rig to drop 2litre diesel into and cheap 1.6 tax
    Anyhow back on topic

    With there being some wiring issues I searched for ways to do it and got pointed in the direction of someone that would make me up a new loom
    That man was Bryan Duggan, aka Jdm874agze off here
    And I have to say the man is a legend, and extremely helpful always in the receiving end of phone for all my 600 questions
    Bryan made up a complete new loom from the 2 looms we gave him and he also made up a short harness to go from ecu to dash loom and also modified the mileage clocks so that the rev clock would read accurate
    ^^^ some man for 1 man

    Next up while we were ripping around the dash area it was time to locate a new dash as old one was all cracked up top
    So big thanks go out to the following 3 people who sold it>transported it and > collected it for me
    So thanks to Doofer, Reilly and DarrenC on here for getting it all the way up from Wexford

    Then I was in need for a intercooler and I got that from a man that can get ya anything from a Fmic to a crack whore............... Mr John Boost Hickey
    So thanks to Mr Boost too for that, ps its all polished up now too so it like new

    Also had previously bought a J-Blood Vented bonnet off a young chap local enough to us

    So without further delay I will give ye a bit of spec and a teaser pic of what it stood like before
    And I will update the thread with step by step photos of the build tomorrow evening
