my old AE86

[kev86]

yikes, first pic = win!

new engine choice = loose!

the new chassis work is great BUT why not start with a bare shell?

[Tekno Twinky]

Let me just say that it will never be this good again,the way the trusty owner in japan built it to perfection.No bullshit.All functioning.Same size wheels all round.Fully Fully Fully...Fully Awesome.


R.I.P.



with a 5mm shim either side here this car would would be 10mm the positive side of perfection.


And i put these on for simon 1 day at a japfest,its one of the only 86's in the country id swap my own for in this picture.. 14's all round!!!!!!

Who has the car now Simo?
hell of a lot of work gone in but the Beams is a bit weak for all the work imo although there arent that much choice for big hp na's withought spending mad money

Edit : I think there car looks shit in the pics above, way better in the first pic. I saw it at WGH when docco had it, no offence to anyone because the lads knew it but it was painted with a yard brush.

I'm sorry but I agree with Twinky here, The car was perfect!!, IF he did get it into his head to do a Beams conversion why not a DOHC conversion, he might end up with the car been less drivable than the way it was the way he's going, Looks like the engine Kruizer was selling, Anyway all in all Ive lost the respect I had for this car,

SEX!!!



I'm picturing this car now with the mk2's it had origianlly on the rear, on the front with your longchamps on the rear.

not too far off now

Ahahahahahahaha I only just noticed it's a sohc beams.....WTF?! I want him to join and explain why he's putting that piece of shit stove into it!

[Gar-4-age 86]

As said above the car was awesome when it came then lost its authenticity cant say i understand the sohc beams but if it sounds or goes anythin like driftma's im all for it ....lookin forward to see whether he makes a job of it or not

[jdmjimmy]

lads just thinkin der this is actually a FAIL enough original nicely put together cars that landed here from japan have been wrecked,botched,muled,and butchered,not saying this car is any of the above listed but it should have been kept jdm tyte and the new owner buy a shitter and bring it back to life rather than tear apart a rare 4-agze jdm gem and donate it to science by putting in that gimp of an engine..id say a 16v 4age would even be better..
