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!

    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
