Xene, with a little help from myself, got the AE86 to start!!!! yeah, it was a little ghetto but it worked! now we have it running, going to hardwire it up, clean it and tuck as much as possible! I can not wait to have her on the road!

One of my coilpacks blew up lol... not sure why or how, but I ordered a new one, and also a corolla dual core radiator.

Redline VS LED usdm

Redlines with my buddies xene's sick gen4 3sgte celica

Redlines installed, just need to LED convert them ASAP

Also got my Takata's looking sexy with my Recaros, time to make brackets for the seats!

List of what is left to do.

1) Wire in inline fuel pump to tank

2) permanently wire up sr20det harness and solder and heatshrink and tuck

3) flare and attach brake lines.

4) measure and order out driveshaft

5) install new radiator

6) wire up digital dash

7) Finish welding exhaust

8) replace coil pack

9)weld seatbracket

10) led convert redlines

but its getting closer, I am going to try to best my butt and get it done asap. I just need to stay motivated.

Ya to each there own. I like the USDM that I LED converted, but I have a some JDM love for the redlines for now and I will convert them to LED too

My buddy hooked me up with some extra braided lines, so I have Oil feed, oil return, coolant feed, and coolant return all braided with AN fittings. He also gave me the correct MAF adapter plug so it can be plug and play.

A few changes, since the OEM manifold and elbow was having some interference with the steeringlinkage, I opted for my friends topmount manifold, and Turbonetics external wastegate set up. It gives me so much more room for the elbow/downpipe.

But with some sacrifices, I need to re-clock my turbo, re-weld the intercooler pipe to match the new locatio, and weld closed the interal wastegate. all for the better, just giving me more stuff to do. I will post pics soon

Opened my second garage with the ae86 stuff, and I pondered.... am I collecting, or Hoarding lol

Cut holes to make it flat

looking better just need to smooth out the RTV, then when it is painted u wont be able to tell.
