Zero Bluetop 16V. Ill probably upgrade to a 20V but im not sure if i wanna just keep the engine as is with better internals.
Zero Decided to take the 86 to a local shop.. and got some pics.. Also sprayed the centers of the Dori Dori's in white and ten times better looking! Was also thinking of getting a TRD wing so hmu if you have one for sale or know of one for sale... ended up with temp plates too since the car wasnt registered for a while. There will be an actual update soon
MACKAY Somehow your 86' looks very different from every other 86' that I have seen, there is something about it that I can't explain, the feelings I get while looking at it. B)
ErwinFenyvesi23 Wow , I gotta say , this is such a nice 86 ! The wheels on it make it look so clean and modern ! I love it !
Zero Every 86 that I've seen after owning this is way different (all in good ways) I think its the fact its not panda. Makes me feel a certain way too man haha, Its a beauty ngl. The wheels fit really well too, i probably wont change them unless i see something that really catches my eye.
Zero Conversion... Conversion... So the guy who owned AE86 before me had another one in storage which had an SR20 Conversion. Now i was ecstatic to see it, and now its got me thinking if i should really keep the 4A or find a different engine. Maybe a 2UZ or an SR even if it means it wont be original anymore. Lemme know of any suitable engines and ill probably pick the most popular one lmaoo. Here's the SR AE86 (it looks really similar to mine just yellow and a bit more track orientated)
Zero I was told about an F20C a few times. I was kinda thinking about a K20 mounted to a F20C box. Ill check around for engines
radcoon Well, seen a hand full AE's with SR20's... if you want to go full crazy... go rotary. But tbh the 4A is a great motor!
Zero All really viable swaps. I think the biggest possibility is the Beams or K/F Series. LS is a little hard to get since i am in Japan and American V8's are not common at all lmao, Rotary would be OTT for an AE86 but really cool. Ill compare prices for Beams VS K/F Series and then decide..
MACKAY You can get a cheap Altezza with 3S and take the engine out, then sell the car as spares, which should even make you some small profit in the end. Of course the engine might need rebuild or something, but after all you will knew what is right or wrong with your engine. Thats the way I would do it, remember my X30 ? It definitely worked for me.
Zero The X30 was real nice. Ill definitely keep an eye out for a Altezza RS200! And knowing me ill probably rebuild the engine for peace of mind haha
Zero Just snatched a RS200 Altezza for $889 or 100,000 JPY. Its somewhat damaged but the engine is in perfect condition, low mileage and its a 6 speed. Guess im going Beams haha
MACKAY My man, can't go wrong going that way lol, I can't wait till you start building your engine up, will be interesting to see your part list and so on and how much hp will it make, aaah, so many flashbacks from my build.
Zero Ill end up going forged internals just incase i decide to go NA-T. I guess i should start making a list haha.
