Thanks buddy the spots ate off the car now I think they clutter the front to much. And yea I think the tailpipe could go another inch yet lol

[davegtcoupe]

Thanks for the comments guys

Heres a crappy pic I took on my phone

[davegtcoupe]

Thanks again for the comments fokes. Everything but the Van is off the road at the min so it would be the fastest lol the corolla is great entertainment on a wet night lol but won't be out again until next year. Im currently restoring the nova at the min and gonna paint it red again to keep it more original

Well done for not "drift speccing" the ae86.

That is very nice- well done.

Thanks mate I like the drift spec but wouldn't do it to my own lol maybe if I had another!! Maybe some day lol

the gearknob is a trd one thoughjt id be a bit different with something haha it wouldnt be right to drive an ae86 in a straight line thats what the rack exstention and hydro handbrake are for! was thinking of trying a set of 20v throttle bodies

[davegtcoupe]

Thanks guys. Was so tempted to tax it again with ther being a bit of good weather but I held out lol have a few plans for it over the winter just to the suspension and some brake upgrades. I'm also considering painting my pulsar camouflage because I can't afford a professional respray with my wedding getting closer and I'll be using if for the track to so not really worried if it's crap or not lol

[davegtcoupe]

Fitted some ncrca's to the corolla today hope they help her steer a bit lol it's sorned at the min so can't even test drive it ha





Can't wait for summer again lol

[davegtcoupe]

It's a 2 inch outward rolled janspeed that's on it. I'm not that fond of a big exhaust on an ae86 tbh but thanks for the comment.

@stu yep I'm a fellow norn ironer lol

[davegtcoupe]

Thanks guys I had standard font plates on it for a while and the seemed to take away from the look of the car if that makes sense lol here's an old pic



The smaller font gives it a cleaner look

[davegtcoupe]

One of my mate's has a gold one has it in the garage for a few years now here's a pic from at least 5 years ago



I love this Car lol

[davegtcoupe]

Was off work last week as a chip came off an old hammer and embedded itself in my leg! So cheered myself up with some new wheels sorry about the crappy phone pic

[davegtcoupe]

Been a while since I was on here so will just throw up some pics

[davegtcoupe]

Haven't been on here for a while.just a quick update on things







The nova is a little different from the last pics lol








Unfortunately I had to sell the pulsar to fund the nova project. Neither would have gotten finished if I hadn't bit the bullet. The fella that bought it has it on the road now and works to Nissan so it went to a good home

First time I have seen your post. Love the AE86
I am now going to sound like an old git but had one of these from 88 to 81. It ended up with escort gp4 billies on the back, full janspeed, sunbeam front springs on the back and some specials on the front topped off with a Sherpa van radiator! As parts for them were very expensive/rocking horse st! I drove it from North Yorkshire to Peterhead in Scotland where I was working at the time during the night - it was like a 300 mile night rally! Tried to sell it there but nobody was interested. I ended up trading it in!
Before I sold it I also owned a mint 911SC 3.0 and I am not kidding I could cross the North Yorkshire Moors quicker in the AE86!

Yea parts are getting harder and harder to get for them now. It must have been great fun doing a 300 mile trip flat out haha I would say it was the fear of wrecking the 911 that made you drive slower in it lol.

Here's what iv been up to recently

45's on the nova should help it move on a bit
Some tidying done on the corollas bay aswell
And the two out for a wash
