Very nice colour, do a search for your old cars and find your member name that way.

Ah yes, I remember.

[Tazrolla]

what ya guy think bout this for a body kit for the above car

 

found a place that sells this kit but its for the the ae80/82 hatch so I'm thinking might have probs with the rear part

 

unless some1 knows a place that sells kits for this car and a url so i can see it :jamie:

AE92 bumpers are too round where they go under the headlights.

The skirts don't really suit it.

May sound stupid but that rear bar is way too big and square for the rear (yes I know 80/2's are a box).

 

I reckon a AE86 vertex kit or the ssv kit would look better.

[Tazrolla]

i thought about an ae86 kit just not sure if would fit or if id need to sell my soul to be able to afford one

[Tazrolla]

just did a quick search for the ae92... the front/sides are same as shown before and this is the back

This was in the paper like all the time lol.

 

its engineless isnt it? :jamie:

 

saw it in advocate here in dev a fair bit lol

[Tazrolla]

yeah he said he's been sellin it for awhile,

 

it does have an engine but blow smoke

 

so ill be striping it down and rebuilding it or just drop in another one if its not worth the effort of repairing

[Tazrolla]

ok finilly picked this thing up, it has the old classic chocolate coloured water in the radiator so now chasin a new head gasket :lolcry:

 

happy to see that it is a 4age but :lolcry: this may seem like a stupid question and it prob is but is there any way to tell from the outside of the engine if its a big/small port?

 

heres a few more pic;s

 

 

 

 

[Trev]

It is a bigport.

[Tazrolla]

ok cool but seein how this is the 1st 4age ive had my little fingers on how can ya tell that

 

and id be guessin that bigport is better then small port

Easiest ways:

 

Intake manifold on the smallport is ribbed where as it just has TVIS on the bigport.

 

Spark plug lead tops are covered on the smallport where as the bigport has them visible.

 

Dizzy on smallport is 4 wire, bigport is 3.

 

Bigport has less power then the smallport, both motors have pro's and con's but I would much prefer to build a bigport over a smallport.

Just so you know, chocolate-coloured coolant doesn't necessarily mean head gasket, could just be really rusty water galleries/radiator :lolcry:

 

But yes, it's a bigport, and a 3-ribber at that too, so it's the bottom rung of the 4AGE ladder.
