Dodgy Haro's Boro AE86 - Drift Pig - One more time!	Thu, 26 August 2004 08:52

Mwa hah hah ... after 2 years of development, I have decided that my Panda AE86 should take a break - she's just too good to crash drifting now! Therefore, I have embarked on another AE86 project in the meantime which will follow in the paths of SimonAE86's and MR2drift's cars using similar setups (prior to the current engine upgrades which both these cars are undergoing ATM) - just little amounts of cash spent sparingly in all the right places basically. Whilst my Panda will continue to be my road car along with the yellow KE20 pokemon, this will be a different beast altogether - hardcore drift stuff for the track as its main purpose! As such, there shall be no flash paintjobs / bodykits rather just good fruit on board, stripped interior and no stereo. Many parts which were originally to go on the Panda 86 have now been reserved for this car (see below). As I have spent heaps of $$$ and have overcapitalised on the Panda too much, I am making amends by planning to do this project on a base budget for the essential stuff. Many thanks to the Witzl for his inspirational 4AG KE70 project to get this one going. Anyway, here goes: 1) The car My Silver crappy was acquired with a spare 20v silvertop 4AG motor! I also got a few spares thrown in along with that too. Bought originally as a parts car, the modding bug has been biting me more for every extra day it remains unmoving in my mate's backyard. It's never been involved in an accident but you can see it's had a hard life (300+ km's) and rust has taken its toll. The previous owner has attended to some of it but there's still more to remove! Anyway, as it's a little crappy there will be no tears shed if I hit a gutter or crash it - it'd just be a matter of finding another shell provided I survive. It doesn't look like much but that's what I thought of MR2drift's yellow 86 when I saw his for the first time the week after he bought it (no offense Josh - goes back to those ol' 4AC days) but look at his car now! 2) The motor (included in car price) Well, I have decided to go up a different path and carb the 4AG bluetop motor that will go in - got all the parts lying around so I might as well use them! I could use the 20v motor but being on a budget, it would be too time consuming & costly to get an aftermarket computer, even if you can get 2nd hand Wolf ECU's for $350 these days. As such, I have since exchanged the 20V which came with the car back for my old Bluetop which I gave to a mate for installing my other rebuilt 4AG (it sounds confusing but it gets like that when you've played with about six 4AG engines to date). He also gave me back the 4AG bigport manifold + linkages for the carbs and will be giving me his webers 40's off his Datto 720 rally car for free provided I let him work on the car. May consider saving up for some 272 degree camshafts & adjustable cams in the meantime - it'd be a pity to put the motor back together and not do something special with it. 3) 2 way KAAZ LSD Been sitting on my floor gathering dust for a while now. She'll be going in one day yet. It's brand new from the states and I only paid $990 for it including the LSD oil can. Probably could have saved about $300 getting a 2nd hand unit but I decided to spoil myself a bit. Check out the break-in instruction guide! 5) 5600K Xenon HID kit Hmmm ... some natural daylight at night will be good. My positive Ebay ratings have now shot past the 70 mark. 6) 14x7 Globe Centreline alloys The Panda will probably be losing her wheels to this car ... just waiting for the other set of alloys to arrive soon. One of my best buys off Ebay yet. There's a little KE10 in Parramatta with similar rims painted gold and they just look awesome! 7) Momo steering wheel Something cheap and useful I bought from Just Japs Imports - it's extended so I won't have to worry about hitting my indicator stalk. AE86 boss kit available cheap anyone? Suspension The most important part! My good mate at Pedders has custom made me a set of front coilovers which consist of HKS cambertops (thanks Simon!) and custom made shocks based on similar characteristics as the TRD AE92 shocks off Shane's drift car. These aren't the standard factory parts available off the shelves. I am not sure what the rates of the springs are but I know they will be no less than 6kg each. No pics yet as they are still at Pedders on a shelf just waiting to be installed. 9) Zenki Levin Tail lights Luxury item once again - just something to make it stand out a bit. New parts are also being acquired each day but it's all falling into place now. Some of the other stuff yet to come include: a) steering wheel boss kit b) cheap bucket seat - OBX Daytona fixed for $250 or perhaps Sparco Sprint for $350? c) headers + exhaust d) rego, compliance cost, insurance etc e) roll cage f) another set of 185/60/14 tyres g) cheap paint - so many choices of colour though! h) T-18 rear diff i) better brake pads - bendix? j) Sigma + Celica control arms Plan is to get everything I need first, get the car running & rego'd then do the whole thing all in the one go. As it probably won't be happening for a while I shall only update the thread when things progress (in other words, probably next year!) but I'm quite sure it will get there - some day eventually ... Just some light reading for people in the meantime with nothing else to do. [Updated on: Wed, 19 January 2005 00:37] [Report message to a moderator]
