not that hard at all, most wreckers have the headlights, wiring, radiator support and bumper support available for under $500. I'm gonna use fibreglass guards, bumper and possibly hood (with a CF layer on top to make it look similar).

noting really... dunno why everyone thinks its the be all to end all drift car...

realistically speaking if you use a non forced induction engine you can get up to 130kw at the fly. The AE86 was the last corolla to come out with RWD, might be the charm behind it.

In its heyday, the 86 won NA comps around the world (in the US, Malaysia, Europe and Japan) as a circuit car. (The ones the S2000 dominates these days)

These days, kids in japan with not much money to spend buy em by the truckload, modify em with later model 4AGE engines and then take them drifting.

hmm thanks for the info Shan.. you see the ones in Autosalon magazine issue 26 . 4 nice ones including a Takumi replica with the fujiwara tofu shop writing on the side :D

hey got any idea where i could source a levin front grill .. you know the see through one!!

from me? lol i have one on the levin which I won't need once I do my front end conversion to a trueno. But you'll have to wait till the day that happens.

hm, getting along quick with our project, welded in the new handbrake positiona nd relocated the gearbox hole in the tunnel, al rust is cut out and starting to weld in the new sections/panels etc.. 2 more weeks and will be ready for the road . axcept for the respray that would need to be done!

    • It’s definitely an import, the Aussie ones have reflectors in the rear bar, it’s also a turbo which none of the Aussie one were.    I remember back in the day I want a twin turbo z32 so bad and then I saw a 32 gtr and that was the end of that lol 
    • Same can be said for Subarus motors ha ha!   I like the 300ZX, I nearly bought a Z32 before I bought my first Skyline. It was going to be a project. Then I found out there was a bit of a dodgy title with it... As in, someone attempted to commit insurance fraud with it and there was now some dodgy legalities around it. So at 18 I walked away from it.
    • The below is what the readings I had with the fuel pressure gauge which were correct. It seems like the issue is mainly during drive and not idle. I bought the new hanger hoping it could be the issue, perhaps I ruined something while cleaning, but I have not installed it yet since I have to wire up everything with the new plugs.
    • Actually, that's not entirely true. It's also the same motor in the 1st gen Nissan Cube but they're rare as hen's teeth.  
    • Yeah it is always worth testing and balancing actuators out of the box, just set the pressure regulator on a compressor very low (eg 5 psi) and increase it slowly to see when they both move.....unfortunately while you may be able to adjust the length of the actuator rod to minimise any difference, the actual pressure they move from is not adjustable so you need a well matched pair. And yes, the VCAM is probably contributing; the earlier in the rev range they come on boost and the slower the revs build (I think your demo was in 5th), the more you notice it.  Driving at WOT through 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc you will probably never hear it as any shuffling starts and is over super quickly
