Bought My 1985 AE-86 today

[xamraci]

Purchased one blue AE-86 SR5 Coupe for 200$ this afternoon...after zero negotiation and a 50$ tow, 250$ less in the savings account. I am the proud owner of my own AE-86. There will be pics soon hopefully and if anyone wants to see her...she will be arriving at Ricks Appartment tomorrow morning/afternoon.

SOON to be PURCHASED:
1-silver top 20v 4age-450$
1-TRD LSD-550$
1-4age transmission-300$
1-ae101 ECU-350
1-Set of TRD Springs-395$
1-Set KONI Adjustable Shocks-400$
PROJECT CAR PURCHASED :D
That is all

[WiggiE]

Why a 4age?

[xamraci]

Why a 4age?

hmmm, Y NOT?
Its a 160hp-170hp N/A 20valve...its the same power as the 4agze...and i dont have to deal with FI and getting a new hood for the top mount cooler

[WiggiE]

hmmm, Y NOT?
If it were up to me I'd go SR20 or 2JZ....but you're not Brian Spilner.

[xamraci]

hmmm, Y NOT?

:roll:
No, I am not brian spilner...and I dont see a point in putting a supra or a NISSAN motor in my car 8)

[1.8t]

Good find, congrats on the purchase.

[Frosty_DUB]

sweet. :D

[Raiden]

Awesome!! Is it in decent shape body, interior etc; good find nonetheless.

[CageChicane]

AE86, badass. you should paint it panda colors just like Takumi's in Initial D.

[A418t81]

Dude, drop an SR20 in there. Heck even an NA one. You can make 200 hp NA w/ an sr20 for cheap or turbocharge it w/ a T25 setup and have 230 whp for 1k (while still keeping a totally reliable motor and reving to 8K+) ;)

[ActiveAero]

An SR5 is technically an eight-five if I'm not mistaken. Cool car either way.

[Anderson]

They must have messed up inscribing AE86 on the firewall then. :roll: An AE85 or Hachi-go is a Levin.

[AadosX]

I'm confused, does the SR20 just *drop* right in there? Just as easy as on a 240SX?

[CageChicane]

lol, just like in Initial D when Itsuki gets a Hachi-go thinking it was a Hachi-Roku. of course, with an engine swap it doesnt matter.

[Jon|Hazan]

I'm confused, does the SR20 just *drop* right in there? Just as easy as on a 240SX?

nope, it would def require some fabrication.. if it were me, id never stick an sr20 in there... way too much fabrication for me.

That is all

why not something programmable for the engine management instead of a $350 stock ecu? 8)

[Jon|Hazan]

oh yeah, i forgot to ask, is it a coupe or hatch?

[AadosX]

That's exactly what I was thinking...

[AadosX]

Coupe

[Anderson]

Well, the engine management we are looking at is about 820 from E&E systems from Japan, called the Freedom ECU. Its a self programming ecu that adjusts the A/F to the position of the throttle for optimum performance or economy, depending on the setting you put it on. Its just a bit costly so we are going with a stock....for now.

[xamraci]

its all good fellas...we are working thru the quarks and money situation...the main components not being bid on or looking to be purchased are a Wiring harness, an Engine, and the MISc parts to make this bad GIRL run...I am lookin at around 5000 dollar TOTAL. That is including a paint job and possibly some Racing seats, harness', and little tid bits like that :P. I am hoping to have pictures by tomorrow...that is if anyone heads out to the brooks tomorrow to take pics of her.

[Frosty_DUB]

Ill try to swing by.

[1 Bad 68]

Hopefully you'll learn a lot in this project, cause right now you are pretty clueless, just becareful before you spend money! Take advice from those that have been where you are now. I remember building my first car @ 15 :lol:

You have altezzas too, plus a wing. :)

My bad. Just didn't know the 70hp non LSD versions were still 86's in the US.

[A418t81]

Yeah, but my car came that way and its not a chicktronic ;)

[AadosX]

Greyson, in all seriousness, have you thought about getting the JDM tail lights for your car? I bet their a lot for tail lights, but they can't be THAT expensive. If I had your car that would be my first mod heh.

They do look nice :D

There is also a group buy going right now, $325 shipped :wink:
http://forums.evolutionm.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=53019

You could also get you one of those pimp little antennas :lol:
http://www.wheeldude.com/images/antenna/example/onWORKSevo.jpg

[AadosX]

Yeah, I never noticed your antenna but buy that too! Damn, those tail lights are way less that I even thought!

[A418t81]

Yeah, I never noticed your antenna but buy that too! Damn, those tail lights are way less that I even thought!

Umm, I won't be spending 325 dollars for freaking tail lights ;) Mine work just fine and when I finally get around to baking the things and pulling the lens from the rest of the unit, I'll just spray the inner surface of the lens with red tail light spray. Looks almost identical to the JDM ones for 300 less bucks.

Its on the list, I'm just waiting for it to be pefected along w/ the modding of the Ralliart Lancer wing to fit my car w/out having to add anymore holes.

Oh yeah, I just ordered this today too :twisted:

Full B&B Triflo 3" turbo back exhaust. Good for 25whp and once its on I can turn the boost up :) This should put me right at 300 whp/wtq on pump gas 8)

[Jess]

quit whoring the thread motherfuckers.

You leave the forum for a DAY and all kinda shit goes on. Congrats on the car guys. Im sure i'll be seeing/tinkering with it soon

[Frosty_DUB]

why did you get the buscher vs a japanese brand such as HKS or something, is it alot cheaper?

That tip looks funny. Does the muff come out crooked, and the angled tip come out strait?

1. I'm not JDM tyte. I think 99% of that "JDM" garbage looks ghey as hell.
2. I had B&B on my A4 and it rocked
3. B&B isn't JDM, its normal, it dynos some of the highest gains and its quiet. The tip is normal and not JDM slanted.
4. Did I mention its not JDM?
5. Through a certain set of circumstance I paid literally next to nothing for this entire exhaust ($1k retail). :)

HAHA!

You are welcome to toy with it...Will probably be needing your help and knowledge...and I hope to have her in my posession tomorrow afternoon, early afternoon :P

[AadosX]

Greyson, that exhaust looks kick ass. I like the small tip that continues to utilize the factory bumper cut. My car just has a wider cut so a small tip like that would look weird, like on Jess's car haha, jk. But seriously, I happen to like the 'can' look that comes out slanted, as long as it sounds good. Here's the exhaust I'm getting: HKS Hiper (Hi Power). It's gonna be like $600 shipped, which kinda sucks.

600 is cheap for an exhaust, stupid VW ones are about 800. :roll:

True, but I'll still outhandle, outbrake, out-haul, out....well, you get the idea ;)

Anyway, John, I don't really mind the looks of those systems on other cars, but its just NOT my style at all. It'll look fine on your car, but I've got enough rice going on at the back end of mine already :P

[Anderson]

But you know the only thing that matters in AL is goin in a straight line...or making left hand turns :wink:

[AadosX]

Haha yeah Greyson. And about VW exhausts... it was even worse on the BMW... it's because they're gay and use shit like Cats and mufflers which are expensive. :lol:

yea but how much is that stock ecu going to cost vs something else that gives greater flexibility? perhaps something with built in wideband control... might be less than you'd think :wink:

[Drew]

screw the SR20. Drop in a Gallardo 20 motor. Then you'll be kickin serious ass!

[Frosty_DUB]

Good point, so why exactly did you buy a Type R?

[1.8t]

Bleh....why say it on-line when I can say it in person :devil:

[AadosX]

Who cares if you can out haul. But braking and handling to me is extremely important, and I use that every day. Either way, to me the main difference is having a NICE car. I have to have something that's pretty and enjoyable when not ragging it, that's just me though.

[1.8t]

I like cars that preform. My style of car is one that isn't necessarily a heap of junk, but is a sleeper. Its the type of car that when you roll up next to it, you wouldn't even second glance it...yet it blows your doors off. To me, cars that get respect through preformance are much more appreciated than "lookers". I do want to build a well rounded car one day though. One that is nasty fast and looks good to boot. However, it must be a classy look, one that fits the car.

[AadosX]

Well it costs a lot more to do that than what you have right now heh, money doesn't grow on trees. It does come from girlfriends mom's and insurance claims though. :lol: Either way, I think my car is semi-sleeper, people don't second glance at least, nothing like an EVO haha.

[xamraci]

you: fast car driving, sleeper making, evo purchasing, expensive exhaust loving, THREAD JACKAS!

I need these things...and they are coming with in the next two or three months

NOW, on the WHOLE car off topic thing...

Mikes Hatch kicks ass(I wouldnt ever ride in it)Damn thing is scarey as FUCK!, wont win a beauty contest but it sure can run. Think of the hatch like a yugoslovian female athelete, not a looker but definitly a performer! Greyson, well you should know how we all feel about the EVOLUTION 8...yeah its bad ass(&fast) and it looks really cool and nice. But alass....I would preferr a car that looked slow as SHIT but was fast as hell! My accord is slow and looks decent...and my project car will be quick and NIMBLE :P. no matter what, everyone has a differing opinion about what they like about cars...john would rather strip a car out and have some face appeal...keep the inside clean but not cluttered or SHOWY! others like a little show with that GO! Just dont DOUBLE tach your SHIT! and Dont rice it like UNCLE ben on a sunday stir fry buffet.

f22, one thing you need to add to that list: ADVIL, because there's going to be a whole lot of headaches along the way. Good luck man!

Michael and Greyson: I don't see it a whole lot of this in michael, but it seems like greyson is always trying to prove himself better than his brother. Greyson knows i admire him in a lot of ways besides cars, but one of the things that bothers me is this childish attitude regarding his brother. And it's really dissapointing to see such a smart person act so childish. "look i got a better toy" i used to do that with my brother when i was 4, now my brother trys to give me money so i can buy a Lexus and shares advice with me regarding women after i get laid on a tues night instead of going to a scar meeting (ya i got laid and i thought i would just stick that in there for no reason). Anyways, heres what i'm suggesting:

Both of you sit down and watch gone in 60 seconds together. You know the part at the end where kip buys his older brother Memphis a 1967 Shelby Cobra? Well Michael, youll be kip, and Greyson, your obviously going to be the gay guy that orders the pizzas and separates the keys from dog shit. Just watch that part and keep what i said in mind.

SAY CHICTRONIC AGAIN! SAY IT!!11!

[AadosX]

Hahaha, I was looking at your site man. A couple things cracked me up.

The car I bought had to be affordable, unique and fun to drive. So I looked into insurance reports at that time and one of the best was the civic.

Ractive polished aluminum shift boot

Your shift boot was aluminum? :lol:

[Jon|Hazan]

Kiss my ass i wrote that when i was 16!

[AadosX]

Hahaha it's all good man, you should have seen my car when I was younger!! :lol: 8)

Ditto! The dragstrip may not be the most exciting place for me but lets just say that I have one HELL of a time in the parkinglot of the birmingham dog track :o


And F22, if you want a car that looks slow as shit but is far from it, go buy a 87 Regal or a dodge caravan with the 4G63 (I think). I saw one on the interstate the other day. Just a minivan with the "Turbo" badge on the door :shock:

Dude, theres no Caravans with a 4G63... Might look for an expo with an NA 4G63 though, and they had AWD optional as well. ;)

[A418t81]

John, don't be mad because you want to drive a sorority girl car. We all know that kenny and i have given you a hard time about both of your cars, but don't take it personally.
Anyway, I did not buy the Evo to:
1. be cool
2. draw attention
3. impress
4. any of the above.

I bought the evo because I had a blast with my A4 and I wanted something else along those lines w/ more performance potential and I got a killer deal on it. I bought the Evo because its a blast to drive and I enjoy most aspects of the car. Personally, I think its ugly when you get right down to it. I think the STi is a much sexier car, albeit with less capabilities. With that in mind, I went with the rice mobile that had the most potential.
As far a my brother, you've got some more thinking to do on your hands. I like my brother's civic. I think its VERY cool, and I'm into the sleeper thing also. I've driven it on a few occasions and its downright scarey in a straight line (some of that has to do w/ the stock suspension and tires ;)). That said, and make sure you write this down, I am not trying to one up my brother with whatever I bought or say on the board. Michael and I both enjoy the same aspects of performance cars. I bought mine ready to go out of the box, he is putting his together. Thats awesome, I wish I could do the same, but I have no job like he does and I"m going to be poor for another 4 years while I go to med school. I need a car thats dead realiable. So back to my brother. There is always going to be some sibling rivalry, but its the same kind of rivalry you might have with some car buddies. Its a playful rivalry that some (you) might take to be something else. The only thing that turns our totally plutonic relationship into some sort of fight is when "friends" of ours think they have it all "figured out" and decide to comment on what they think the situation is. My brother is obviously my family and he's got the rights to the keys to the Evo whenever he askes (though he never does). So lets leave the futile attempts at family psychology out of Aspeed and in my home where it belongs. Thanks.

[ActiveAero]

Greyson my bad for picking at you and the other guys turning into psycologists.

I'd own an EVO in .000001 seconds if I was given the chance.

Rivarly is a good thing, it would suck having a brother and having no competition against him. That would be half the fun IMO.

Brock, man, its no sweat dude. I know you are really just a ricer at heart like the rest of us ;) It's nobody's fault, I was just finally voicing an issue thats been lurking for a while.

Back to the rivalry thing...if you cant razz your brother, who can you pick at?

[Drew]

it would suck having a brother and having no competition against him. That would be half the fun IMO.

yeah my younger brother is a Sigma Chi at auburn. All he's intereted in is drinking whisky and totalling cars. He's already put 3 of our cars out of their misery and was rewarded with an 02 montero sport :roll:

sucks though cause we really don't connect on very many levels. everyone in my family has nothing to do with each other :?

Safe for general Road use? It was safe for general road use less than four months ago...it might look rough but the car will not be costing me a ton to get it in good order. 5k good 6k excellent! I can handle working on my car myself...I might need help from jess and others occasionaly but just for their help...I couldnt spot myslef up for an IS300...so I had to go with a car needing some paint and TLC...and they dont make altezzas for it either :P ...the interior is intentionaly stripped and will remain as such...paint and a new engine are the next components...followed by an upgraded TRD suspension and Enki Rims with some nice rubber

If you need wheels, I may can help you. I bought some Konig Rewinds from T-3 two days before I bought my SSR's. I'll sell them if you need them. If not, I may keep them for Solo II.

firstly...that is a really nice GTS...someone you know or your car? How much and with rubber? I might needa wait while...I am about to drop bank on a door, headlamps, and a clutch...if you are gonna hold on to them...it would be cool if you could wait till I had the cash....depending on price...but

if the price is right...I might can swing for them now :P

seems like a good price...and I would pay you what you paid...but I need a couple months to get this biotch runnin...if you still have them and havent sold them...I would like to purchase them

I drove by and checked out the car in person. Looks pretty sweet. I wouldnt mind having one like that. I know a tiny bit about bondo, so de-rusting the rear shouldnt be TOO much of an issue I dont think.

appreciate that jess...Its do-able. That will come before paint...which is coming after the 4age is purchased....

HOLY CRAP are those DEMON CAMBER wheels? I cant wait to see them on your car. :shock: I think nick needs some of those.
Got lucky when I found them on Ebay. No one bidded on them; paid $500.
They're a bit scratched up, but it's little concern to me. I've already got tires and put them on the car - I'll post a few pics soon.

How wide are they? Did you have to roll the fenders?

bump this cause I am a whore....

well...there is no way in hell we are going to be able to get the fucking transmission back in the damn car with the space we have and the constant worry of being told to take it elsewhere(in our case...there is no place else). I am resorting to a storage unit and then I will proceed to purchase the engine and an engine hoist and then install the engine and transmission as a whole unit. Much less trouble and less time consuming. First...I am going to strip the car to the bone once it gets in the storage unit...tails to head lights(need new tails any way, and a new door). all wires are going to be relocated and loomed.

This project car thing has just been a thought that found its way in to reality...it needs to step in to the realm of seriousness and get done. hopefully at the current pace I will have a nice FINISHED car by winter. Fingers crossed :( . all i want is a car that is barely street legal, meaning I have head lights, tail lights, and turn signals...and all of them work. Alright my rant is over...this was just a post whore bump because I am frustrated as hell :evil:

I have a new (harbour freight) engine hoist you can use if you need it. It's the fold-up style for you space-saving beetches.

Thanks donnie...I will probably take you up on that offer...

I think I'm going to buy that red Supra from Paul / Ira. If I do, I can drop off the hoist in Auburn (if needed). I'm not going to do my 7M-GTE engine swap till fall, so I won't need it.
