tetsujin Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Hi folks, My name is Adam and I live in the United Kingdom. I have a project thread up at www.ae86drivingclub.com and recognise a few of you from there. just a quick look to where I am at now! :dance: Bought car last year, one owner, 25k on the clock and in great condition for age, I have owned a few AE86's here and there but really couldnt decide on what type I like and I also wanted an older car but I loved the 4age so bought a KE for an all-round mix! :y: stripped it down cleaned up the underside rust proofed it so it wouldnt rust away. added a AE86 Zenki drum axel and TRD 2way along with TRD Blue 8way adj shocks and poly bushes all round Had to fit an AE70 pedal box as the KE (K series engines) use the k40/50 gearbox and it is cable operated clutch but the 4age and T50 box from a AE86 is hydrolic so the clutch pedal neads changing and a clutch master cylinder needed putting in. hole to right for Clutch M/S prepped engine bay for painting, and cut out battery tray for a tidy look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tetsujin Posted June 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 build up the rest of the front end.... Anyway.... Fitting the AE86 fuel tank was not as simple as I thoughs it would be but after a bit of :smash: :smash: and a little :( :confused: :( it went on nice and easy, with alteration need to the filler neck pipe as they are different so a cut and cut was needed! :D car up in the air and fitted rear bumper. fuel tank all in place, no shots of the alterations as it was to hot!! :dance: Note - fuel tank was like new as I repainted it but I got pissed with it and I don't care any more! :y: got some of these for the rear axel... and these Battle Version Kit 2 steering lock kit... also... My VEMS aftermarket ECU to run the 45mm throttle boddies arrived. This will come in hand when I upgrade to 20v/4agze next year (havent decided! :y:) but this looks like fun.... NOT! :( and here is the 14x8 wheel, notice how it wont fit with the bottom part of the wing attached, need to get the roller out asap! :y: gonna be fitting the rest of the engine bay parts tonight, like the radiator (using the ae86 one and it needs some brackets making), the throttle linkages etc. Let me know what you think. Cheers Adam :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7shades Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 (edited) I quite like the colour of the rocker covers... goes very well with the chocolate brown. Very classy indeed. Ditto for the zinc plating... Its sooo refreshing to see a car modified tastefully. Oh yes Teddy yours is very nice too... *pat pat pat* :dance: Edited June 29, 2007 by 7shades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
