there is a thread here somewhere of years and years of collective threads of peoples projects and pictures and stories. I think there is one for each generation. I believe ours is under the non tech and pictures part of the 2nd gen section.

Engine and tranny are not in the car, driveshaft, turbo, manifold, and a few electrics are missing and half of the injector plugs need to be replaced. That help?

Here is a sneak peak as to what I've been stirring up. A little birdy tells me the new set up will dip into the 600hp range.

That AE86 will be one sick ****...

My projects:

Felicity: Needs a fuel pump and coolant seals/rebuild.





Belia Darzu/Darth Talon: (I haven't been able to decide on the name yet...) Needs coolant seals/rebuild.







The Pile: (Haven't had time to think of a name yet, lol...) I just got this one last night, it doesn't run and I haven't had a chance to find out why yet.








So between the three I should be able to come up with at least one that runs sometime soon eh??

then took the original engine out and swapped it out to another body I had to get it running and that way i could make some money to continue the project.

after that we got this















then added the 3 MSD's





here is the video of the first startup. sorry but the camera man was late on starting the recording.

i already got the radiator fan shroud on it. right now the car needs the haltech to be tuned for it to be driveable. Ive taken it arround the block a couple of times but Im being really careful with it still.

Thanks man! I usually don't talk too too much about her but why not.

Here is a few more pictures.

OEM bumper cut out and paint matched. Im in the process of straightening my IC pipes up front. I cant figure out what lip I want up front though.


Headlight covers also paint matched,new windshield coming...Im just too lazy to install my new one.



That is all for now
