Just got that fun "go kart" feel that you get from a little buzz box; cockpit interior, in tune with the vehicle controls/feedback. You have to hit the corners though. They are no more special than a sporty little modern-looking car around town. I think they did a good job of capturing the essence of the AE86, being that it wasn't the fastest car at the time (still decent performance), but people loved to thrash/chuck them about. A lot of Hondas like the Integra and Prelude are like that. Would I want more power from factory? Yep. But it stands on it's own where it matters. Be a great beginner track car if you can afford to spend that on a track car.

Add a blower and I think that's the difference between 8/10 and 9.9/10.

Hmm... So for just cruising from/to work with squirting there and there, I'd better off keeping my 34 instead no?

Clever security too :)

Xray machine showed a slight gap near the top of the piston...they got greedy and made the cavities too big.

Depends. In the end it's a newer car, more comfortable and better looking than a Skyline. If performance is what you want and you're driving to and from work, keep the Skyline. Like I said you gotta take it to corners to feel the performance side of it. Without corners it's just a good looking sporty coupe with some nice modern features and interior.

I should be there.

And Dezz e60 M5. Dat V10 noise! Drool!

Awesome! Keen to see your 34, looks dope in the pics. :D

I'll make a post about pre meet tonight for anyone else interested.

Haha bit of wider fenders, plastic dip and some rims and shell be sweet

I considered getting one as a family car in the future. But hear maintenance costs can get quite high if something goes wrong. Especially the gearbox

But I love the sound of a V10 :merli:

need some Neesan help

2 plugs near IACV. one brown, one purple. Mein car has brown plug ok, but nothing to plug into purple plug. and engine-conversion loom doesnt have one nearby that fits. Any idea what they do?

(theyre right next to each other)

Yeah purple is definitely a solenoid, I remember replacing the copper washer on my 25, Not sure what the other bit is but I'd imagine it's probably the part that actually moves to open and close the AAC valve, from memory there's a spring inside that area. Manuals and FAST don't go into any detail about what's what because you're supposed to just replace the whole unit when it breaks instead of fixing them :/

Will be properly looking into these supercharger kits for the 86 on Monday. From what I gather: 4-5k fitted, ADR complianced and engineered, all bolt on components with ecu reflash. 170rwkw without an exhaust on conservative boost; not uncommon to get 210rwkw from an exhaust and a little more boost. In a great handling 1200kg rwd, that's good/dangerous fun!

So a r32...? :P

Looks like I gotta find one to drive and see what it's all about for myself.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
