^ I love that colour. The Subaru Legacy wheels fit it nicely, you should fit some ITR Type R wheels to it since you already have the five lug conversion done. The K20A is quite a monster in that little chassis.

So I know it's only been about three days since I've bought the S15 and fallen in love with it all over again, but this car was just way too good of a steal to pass up.

A friend of mine was selling his 1985 AE86 Levin Coupe, the Zenki model. Him and I worked on this car in his garage for a few months - it began it's life in Valo as a true JDM import, as a rolling shell. We sourced OEM parts from Japan and locally from other enthusiasts and AE86 forums, so I know what I'm getting into. It's mostly stock on the exterior, and the paintwork is quite clean save for a few rough patches noticeably on the front bumper and front left quarter. We also managed to source a full dashboard and carpeting, quite to our joy, through a parts car we bought for $500 and scrapped right after.







It sits really low on stock wheels right now because he used to have a set of 16x10 Volk TE37V's under the car, but he wanted to keep those so he put the stock wheels back on for me. Mad stance yo.





The real beauty though, lies under the hood of this car. Choosing to forgo the stock 130 horsepower Bluetop 16v 4A-G, we decided to go with a 20v Blacktop 4A-G from a later model AE111 Levin. Stock bottom end and head, and stock intake manifold, but mated with an Apexi Power FC air intake. On the other side sits a beautiful Toda exhaust header, mated to a Toda N1 downpipe running to a straight through 3 inch Toda N1 exhaust tip. Trust me when I say this makes all the right noises under full tilt. Lots of other goodies, such a Koyorad radiator and catch can. Hasn't been dyno'd but we guess it runs around 250-260 horsepower to the wheels. I can't wait to drive this thing, I have big plans ;)
