Hello everyone. I'm Radcoon (got that nickname ages ago). I lived my past 24 years in Brisbane Australia. I work for a Outdoor company and will spend the next 3 years in Tokyo. As I sold most of my stuff including my lovely S15 I got 20.000V$ left for a JDM Toy. All I have now is this. So while browsing the used car marked I found a decent Supra MK.IV in the classifieds. This guy, guess Japonic was his name gave me a good price on this so tomorrow I'll head to Osaka. Thanks for watching! Spoiler

So after a quite nice evening/night/morning in Osaka I came back to our workshop which was quite busy!

and the Cresta is back from painting! I went for the original pearl white. And gotta install my Brix soon which I got from yahoo.

After the Wheels are mounted I do a proper update on this...

So About the little AE86. We checked all the fitments at MACKAY's so basically it's good to get some more nice treatment.

With the parts i still had and the help from my friends here the AE is back in Trueno shape.

And it's ready for paint... again.

I changed the front brakes back to the AP's after they got reworked. Simply because I need a bit more stopping power and the bigger disks and 6 piston should help with that.

So far that's it from me. I wait on the bill from MACKAY....

MACKAY

Will be interesting to see how this Cresta will turn out. Also it is awesome to see that you guys assembled the 86' so quickly yet so good! As for the bill.. The sum of materials and parts we used is only around 350V$, the most expensive thing would be the labor but ah, since we had good time and it was weekend, you only owe me a full tank of gas in my GTR. :rolleyes:

radcoon

Oh that is unexpected! I owe you big time.
Yeah as your guys, the guys over here are very helpful! But it was still more zips and tape as correct mounting. AE's at painting now!

Cresta looks fire!

Garage looks full of hot cars! I'm glad to see the hachiroku being put back together again. And yeah Cresta styling up!

Thx buddy! Yeah I hope to get back to work on it soon.

Oh yes the Osaka guys did great!

That Cresta tho.
As the AE is still at painting I put my hands on the GX81. As the stock muffler didn't sound as much is i wanted it. I changed that to a little two pipe version.

I also invested in a new Koyorad-iator with a lovely greedy cap. 🙂 So the little 2.0L engine is hooked up now.

Yeah those wheels... after basically planed to go 15" and browsing auctions and dealerships I ended up with quad6 enkeis 17".

Still plan to do something on it but so far I focus on the AE. And I need some Can for to improve my racing and drifting before I smash the Trueno again!

Cresta now looks like real a "shakotan" build, would have went with something SSR brand myself, but I like your 6666's a lot too. Get a four door R34 or R33 as a drift car as you can cop them quite cheaply right now, but it might be completely different world transitioning from 86', whenever you come around I will let you to take a spin in my four door, maybe you will like how those cars handle.

ErwinFenyvesi23

As Mackay said , this Cresta does look like a real shakotan car now ! The fitment is on point !

Thx man, yeah SSR was one of my first choices but hard to get 5H versions these days.
I take that offer for sure! Idk if I'm ready for a Nissan... 😃 I thought about a X100 Chaser or Mark2... would also fit the collection...

back

Yes the AE is back from paint since this morning. So am I. Take the day off to get the smell of fresh paint... Are there airfreshers that smell like new car paint? Anyway.
I went for a real dark grey wich a touch of brown. I looks nice imo.

So after a bit of staring at the paint we moved it on the lift to get the transition back in place and installed my new cusco sway bar. Which I got for 150 bucks.

An yeah... talking about that "special" here it is.

Well Erwin knew, such as MACKAY and skip but well here is a pic of my 1JZ engine. So it still might take some time to get the AE back on the streets as I'm waiting for a custom driveshaft to match the J-trans with the AE LSD. I also ordered some engine parts which should turn up tomorrow. And I get a passenger seat.... maybe.
So much for the AE....

Well before I head over to the next thing. You noticed I started a side business with stickers and decals. It kicked off way better as I expected so thx to all you guys!

new car....

Yeah... another car. I basically wanted a JZX100 but they are a bit more expensive with MT as I expected. And as I was looking for a drift only car I went for this 1990 RPS13. It has shaken for one more week 🙂 and yes it is a POS. It was cheap with it's SR20DE. It has 4 different types of red and a really damn ugly interior. Smells like McD was using it to make fried chicken while smoking cigars.
It was 1.300V$ which all you know is cheap. Even for a SX. But most of my money simply goes into the AE.

First step will be, after stripping, get to MACKAY to get a cage.

So far that's t form me...

How you swap to different engine? That AE normally won't accept goes to different type engine.

skip

Well at mackays workshop we reworked the firewall, the mounts and also the tranny support. So my AE allowed me to change the engine. 😉

As If we spoke about that before. 😉
Buddy spezial the last pic you showed... that should give a hint to everybody. Can't wait to see that thing!

MACKAY

Ah, that firewall was a real pain in the ass to figure it out and do it properly without fucking things up, but we managed it, and I can't wait till I see this thing on track again. :thumbsup:

Eh, bring it in.. I am losing count of how many S-Chassis I have welded up. I-)

@rad I mean script thing.

There is a script update in the DL section.

ErwinFenyvesi23

First of all , I have to say that a 1JZ in an AE is very very unique ! I was stunned when you told me about it , and working on it was kinda fun , I must say. Also , as Mackay said , that firewall was kinda hard to work on , but we made it work! I can't wait to see her shred !

Also , I can already see you doing amaizing things to that S13 ! Bring it down to our shop , we'll get it in a better shape in no time ! 😉

Shez

That Cresta doeee :drool2: good luck with your projects man, can't wait to see the finished product 😃
