Just over a week to go, looking forward to it.

If it's just yourself I might be available. Japanese ae86 4Age smallport with 272cams, sounds pretty damn good and always get compliments. Check out my profile here and my build thread on ae86dc. Pm sent too.

What shaped are you talking about?

Can do, I am about to make one from my girlfriends KE70. The only hard part is making the little metal clip that holds it in place, which is easy!

Check you TPS too, lots of people overlook it but it can really affect the motors overall performance.

I haven't seen black fittings in a car before, only red and blue, the set up looks very professional/neat.

Ah those 5 cyl Volvo motors are unreal. Dad had an S40 so I got to drive it quite a bit, so much torque! It would chirp to third easily, was always good fun at the lights with Commodores. The gearbox was fantastic, second best feeling gear changes only to a 911. I've started goggling already haha.

Haha, this is my photo/setup, works fine since the rebuild. Just cut off the tab where it bolts to the block.

Has this got a smallport 4AGE in it? Looks in pretty good nick! I'd hold up on the swaybars though, if you are going for new wheels and tyres get used to them and the change they make.

There was one floating around on AE86DC, maybe just search in the for sale thread.

Man that's a long list! Good job on killing so many 4A's too, 15.1 sounds pretty good, I've only managed 15.6 with a leaky smallport and stuffed exhaust. It's been rebuilt since with TRD 272's so fingers crossed.

Pretty similar, just as long as you're using an AE** cross member.

I was lucky enough to buy a pair of TRD 272, 7.5mm. They don't require a shim and bucket change and can be run on stock springs. Secondhand is always a gamble but turned out to be fine. There are heaps of manufacturers, if you change springs you could get a set with some higher lift.

No idea, I can only go by what car I've beaten or stayed with, all performed legally of course. Prior to cams I've stayed with Integra type r's, pulled away from a bigport AE86 with huge cams and a Sportivo Corolla and have been reasonably close to Matt's (littleredspirit) silvertop, a result I can only attribute to a lightened flywheel. Since cam's, nothing tested as yet! Too poor for a test and tune which will be the answer I think. Or free dyno time!

All comments are valued, I wish Insurance wasn't so hard to find... Anyone have tips when dealing with Shannons?
