+/-0 offset is pretty good on stock gaurds. 14x7 with 185/60's will be a little stretched, I used to run this on may car but have swapped for 205/60 on 13x7 +0. The 13's blew away the 185/60r14's, much more comfortable on the road. But you might being ok with that!

A while ago, fresh rebuild and high compression. It should go a lot better now with the 272's.

I ran a 15.61 in my smallport AE86 around 11 months ago. For some reason I can't fine the time slip, but littleredspirit could vouch for it. Also there is a clip below of the race, my reaction time is appalling but wasn't that bad of a run.

Yep, I used some DEI paint to seal them but they still frayed haha!

I would have, but it fell apart! I'm not sure if I put it on right, maybe I'll have another crack. Although some decent headers would be nice with a ceramic coating. Cheers again for the praise, labour of love.

It's been some time. The car now has TRD 272 cams in which are unreal. Only 7.5mm lift which means they can run without major valve work and survive on the stock ecu, although it has trouble idling sometimes. I finally got the Enkei's on the car and it's incredible how much difference the combo of 13x7 with 205/60's made. I opted for the Federal 205/60 595, great price and an overall excellent tyre, huge performance in dry grip and feel very safe in the wet. Currently have both rear windows out. I wanted to fix up some over-spray from the panel beaters on the black trim, so I sprayed the right hand side on the car and ended up pulling both off after I found a little rust on the left hand side. Nothing major, two small holes on the left and some pitting on the right. Both areas had accumulated leaves and shit which must have been stuck there for a while. Figured if I'm going this far I may as well paint the roof. The paint is thin as shit and general pulls the car down to ghetto level...

Ah cheers for kind words and bogan photo's of me! Parrot, that stuff is made by ACL, you can get it from repco or supercheap. It's a multi layered sandwich design with fibreglass type stuff in between. It is really great stuff, the difference in heat between both sides is incredible. I would really recomend using some, only thing is it is a bit tricky to cut neatly, but then again I'm hopeless with sheet metal.

As it sits now:

Photo dump of this years events including a rebuild.

Top day!

f@$king boost. Now it will be full of Japanese commodores aka R33 Skylines...

I will be there, just not sure if I can make it at 7am, have a gig at the crown on Saturday night so I might get a the piss... So I will be there, just a little groggy!

so no meet prior to driving in? couldn't be that hard to get a few guys to meet up somewhere...

pretty interested to come along and rep the ae86 amongst all the ke's!

shielded wire would be your best bet, plus its cheap as chips. whole setup is pretty cool though!

very cool car! any power figures at the wheels?

a saga indeed. i hope my wheel bearings last until i can afford new ones with those prices! diff will be overrated once it is reassembled, and make sure you take some pictures of everything before and during assembly. alternately let me know when and where and i can take photos.

haha yeah there is a whole pack in the glove box! the panel beaters actually got some screws and washers and fix the top half in and zip ties for the bottom half. if i had thought quicker when i had the accident i could have kicked in the grill and got a new one! camber is around -2.5, -2.8 from memory. will be winding in some more castor after the T3 rca's and bearing top hats go in.
