yeam mine has the hectic black guards, and a ful sik HKS exhaust which seems to neither add power nor change the noise, just looks different.

Yours has been lowered a fair bit too I think, looks good.

Hahaha. I don't think the Impul supercharger even adds power to these things.

Yep mine has Cusco coilovers. Looks slammed but it actually has a lot of clearance.

Ah, that would explain your user name then. It's not just a euphemism for female body parts. I would post a pic of my other car, but I'm sure you can all picture a crappy old VS Commodore Equipe low

I will be racing in the Vic HQ series, so mainly Sandown, Phillip Island and Winton.

I've only done a few track days in my MR2 so its going a lot different to that.

I should be doing the OLT on the 20th July and racing the 21st 22nd at Sandown

Ive got a '94 Cherokee XJ thats been seeing a bit of mud over the last couple of years. Just got my first Stagea to replace it for going up the snow and weekend driving duty.

Blew the gearbox in it about a month ago and havnt used it since. Just got sick of having to put so much money into it and only use it 4 or 5 times a year.

Put down my $1k deposit this week & have to waiit till end of September for delivery. I've been driving my Stag as a work car for a while now but she's more of a cruiser, this will be a hell of a lot cheaper on fuel :) Stag is off the road & will come back with 500+hp upgrade (been buying bits for the last 6 months).

Great minds think alike: that's exactly what I did! My 86 is due in December.

Just deciding whether to fit the turbo motor to my little Suzuki GTi in the meantime, or sell it separately ;)

Noice! With a pipe they actually don't sound too bad.

Your first bike?

Yeah, its got a nice big yellow L plate on the back haha. Will probably do some mods on it over time, because I will have nearly 2 years until im on an unrestricted license. Gotta let the bank account recover first though

That's cool man, gotta start somewhere! :thumbsup:

Stay safe; ride like everyone is out to kill you, mostly because they are. If you're ever down the mountains on the beast; hit me up, I don't need an excuse to ride. :whistling:

Congrats mate! Bet that's a bit chilly round Bathurst in winter.

Have they gone to injection on them yet? I rode one in Thailand that was injected, was a good thing.

Yeah will do mate. Will be a while before i take it too far out of town though, I've seen too many people nearly running up the back of L plate drivers / riders on the GWH

Cheers man, yeah its not the warmest time for it lol. Mine is carbie, from what i have read USA and Australia still only get carb models, and in europe they can get injected ones. No idea why they haven't brought out the injected models over here, because its one of the most popular learner bikes you can get

Might be a emissions thing, us and aust are more lax than eu and other markets. Just a guess.

On another note, congrats to the new FT86 owners. As much as I thought i got over it, and don't want to like it, I keep seeing the ad with tsuchiya san and giggle.

Hope a gt depreciates a bit over the next few years and maybe I'll get into one as a daily

I'm thinking the same thoughts about the 86, too! I loved the original AE86 (or, more specifically, the AE85 we got here in Australia) since the day they were released, and would love to own the new one, but probably not in that orange and definitely not the blue ('cos it's a Subaru colour). Might look for one second-hand in a year or so, see how much they've depreciated, and then weigh up that against buying new (if I can afford to).

I still think the original AE86 is a pretty timeless design, but the interior is a massive give-away to its age.

My 86 is actually in Dark Grey Metallic GTS with Aero pack... looks soooooooo dam sexy.

I think alot of people will opt for the orangeish colour, the pictures you see on the net don't give the colour justice. I took the demo for a test drift & the salesman's fingernails are still stuck in the dash :w00t:

If you can drift a fat auto Stagea then you will have a ball with the 86! :rofl2:

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Unpeeling the Orange

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
