Engines FIRED UP and ready to go!!! i wish

Anyways cranked it up 2 or 3 times and bang she fired up! She sounded better than ever, like a MAXI TUNED NA 20V ready to rape a race track!!! Straight off the extractors, no airbox, garage shaking, dad, steve and i screaming our lungs out!! I fkn luvved it LOL. Then exhaust had to go on which made it sound like a rexxy with no whoosh! How can i forget that nice tone it had!! Other than that its running relatively smooth, considering the engines been out of the car for almost a year now, and the microtech looks like its held it existing tune pretty well. Still running fairly rich and its kinda struggling keeping the revs up during idle. Nothing a tune cant fix Me n Steve were mucking around with the handset a little bit setting rev limiter to 8260rpm hehe and rev cut out @ 9000rpm, advanced ignition timing suiting the engine for high octane fuel, just little shit like that.

Tasks completed from last post

Oil catch can mounted next to battery and rigged up

HVS mounted and installed

How much it cost all up! If you dont mind me asking

MY old AE86 i purchased costed $14 000



These are the parts im currently using in this project:

Engine: 4age(silver top)20V
Engine accessories: Microtech LTX computer, 4-1 extractors, Braided radiator and water hoses, 4 Bosch ignition coils, Bosch fuel pump, EARL oil cooler and fuel filter, craig davies duel cooling fans, Custom Straight through exhaust with 3 and half inch high flow cat, Cusco oil catch can, TRD Oil cap, TRD radiator cap.
Brakes: JDM 4 wheel discs, cusco brake master cylinder stopper
Drivetrain: TRD 1.5way LSD, Techno Spirit 4.3 final gear, trd short shift
Suspension: Adjustable Front suspension, Gabriel rear shocks cusco camber kit, roll centre adjusting brackets, cusco front strut brace, rear sway bar, cusco rear strut brace
Wheels: RAYS TE-37's
Interior: Splitfire tacho, oil gauge, kenwood cd tuner sparco 50mm extension boss kit
Other: Alarm, central locking.

TOTAL: I guess u could say there is $10 000 worth of the parts above (excluding the car)

My Expenses for this project:

AE86 shell with panels = $350
x1 RAYS TE37 = $550
x2 14" Toyo Tires = $200
Sparco Sprint Seat(Revolution Race Gear) = $460
Sparco Sprint Seat (Geoff from Toymods)= $300
Hyper Voltage System = $400
Apexi RSM = $360
Autometer 2 1/16" Air/Fuel gauge = $145
Autometer 2 1/16" Water temp gauge = $150
Alpine 200W 6 1/2" front speakers = $130
New Black medium plush moulded floor carpet = $180
Imported Goodline bodykit = $3500
Trueno Redlines = $900
Jblood copy front bar = $460
Kouki Indicators = $80
Airbox setup = $500
Microtech Wiring Harness/Wiring diagrams = $200
Wiring = $350
Timing belt, Rear main seal, Manifold gasket = $150
Speedflow oil cooler fittings = $50
1 wire O2 sensor = $70
TRD Rear Springs = $350
Project Mu Brake pads = $300
JDM LSD LHS handbrake cable = $80
Exedy Heavy Duty Clutch/Pressure plate, machined flywheel = $350

Other expenses such as poly-urethane bushes, performance fluids, 2pac paint/primer/clear/under body detanor/heatproof/interior/thinners etc, machining, new windscreen, new dash, and replaced better condition stock parts = $2800

TOTAL COST to this day: $25 760

Thats with Dad and I doing all the work, and help from relatives and friends. If it was getting done at a workshop it would cost almost double that in labour costs (especially all the custom work my dad has done with brackets, modifying parts, welding, grinding etc)

Who knows what its going to end up costing at the end of the day when theres engineering/rego, and panel shop costs (use of the booth and tools).
