So this would be a pretty normal update, I'd just write that I took the engine out of the S14 but no ! I bought 2 cars and one of them will be my drift missile from now on, while the other is just a parts source thing.
So I was at Ebisu for the last 3 Vdays and I was testing the AE86 out since as you already know, I got a new engine.

Car feels great, maybe even better than before the engine blew up. It can even go sideways if you really want, although I don't really want to do it because it requires a lot of speed. I got to the pits and decided to call it a day.
Well, the next day I went with my friend because I didn't really feel like taking the AE86 with me once again. He drives a S14 also and I will show his car in the next update. While I was in the pits I found aaaa...

Supra. With a 2JZ. Just what I need. It was crashed pretty badly, the door was absolutely demolished, yada yada yada. It had a fully working 2JZ inside, and since it was for sale I bought it for well, a bit too much for a crashed Supra. Whatever, I got it back to my garage using my other friend's tow truck and got the engine out. I already taken out the engine from the S14 so I was left with a SR20 that I didn't know what to do with. YET (more like yeet lmao).
On the 2 day I went with my friend to watch some other guys drift around. I wanted to get a good view of the track so I just got into the little tree section around the track. When I was there I saw something green but I thought it's just trees, but after a closer look I realized it was a car.

An AE86 Levin Coupe. Oh wow sweet, but why the h e c c is it in some forest just left there ? Anyyway, I found out that it had a normal bluetop engine and to my suprise, a fully original interior without any damage. I'm still suprised that I managed to find that kind of interior, I mean just wow. The car
is kind of demolished, the bumper was basically held in on a tiny screw, one of the windows was broken, one sideskirt was missing and the lights didn't work. Fortunately, the tires and wheels are in pretty good condition and the engine also looks good. Since I live pretty close to Ebisu I just went for my friend's tow truck once again and drove it back. I found a phone number inside later, I called it and said that I took the car. Grandpa that picked up said "Just do whatever you want to do with this car, I don't care". When I tried to offer money to him he said that he doesn't need money.
Cool, I guess I have a free ae86 then.
I realized that I have a SR20 in the garage now that isn't used, so why not swap it to the AE86 ? I mean, I wanted to get this car back to it's original shape, but after closer inspection it would cost me more than my 86 build. So I just decided to make it into a missile and get my dorifto skilz up.
I ordered a bigger turbo for the 2JZ, the cd09 tranny along with the adapter kit and also the z32 diff that sleepin monkey suggested. I still need lot's of stuff for it, such as gauges, new cams, maybe new pistons, a new header, intake etc. I want to do all of this before I get the engine into the car.
