My Built not bought 20v AE86 (project go slow)

[1-JAY-Z]

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

Brand new exedy paddle clutch



T3 short shifter



T3 Stacks



DE-Cat



2x Sparco Evo's



Hydro



Apexi Boso stylemother fucker exhaust lol



Ordered a spare Kaaz 2 way:







TRD CWP 4.7 for the extra bit of acceleration



EBC brake pads and discs with Goodridge braided lines:



New handbrake cables:



Cheapo black face gauges look deadly and do there job so im happy



This little fooker was causing a lot of play in the steering so it got replaced



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

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?

[1-JAY-Z]

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.

Those wheels are very very nice

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.
