Customers custom made car at the shop....pretty cool setup ....Erik one of the engine builders and tuner who been working there for 18 plus year said his dad will be driving the car is some upcoming SCCA competition for the customer to try and spark interest in others possibly purchasing one

Re: 5.5ag 20v Coupe aka Orions Demise!
Setting up the s2000 gauge cluster.....what a pain in the ASS! all the wiring is done...I think well at least what features apply to the AE86....took the JSP panel and put some 3m textured carbon fiber vinyl on it...cut out 2 holes for my EGT gauge and my Oil Pressure...should look good when im done. Bought a custom carbon fiber HVAC delete from Carbon Fiber Collections in Hawaii to fit all my Omori gauges...looked good but fitment kind of sucks so Im debating if im going to use it now....cant fit the stereo surround under it in properly...so might ditch it if i can trim it properly!

Finished my rear end up....added my revolver traction brackets, and installed the N2 panhard support bracket which bolts to the frame and supports the side to side pressure put on the factory panhard mount....these things can crack and are a pain to reweld...In the future I will install a Watts link setup similar to the one pictured but SS Works makes one that actually bolts on instead of welding the mount to the center of the diff housing.

I like turtles.... oh sorry, I thought it looked like we were talking about **** that didn't matter.
Not to sound like a hater or anything but can we keep the internet trash-talking off the build logs? You both built a motor pretty much from the ground up.... that's more than a fair number of people on here and honestly, maybe it's just me, but I hate looking through pages of bitching just to find the pic I wanted to use as a reference for something. Build logs for builds, trash talk in fun stuff or something maybe?

That is a Formula Vee car. It is a Formula series which has barely changed since it was introduced in the '70s and is one of the most inexpensive ways to go wheel-to-wheel racing. I'd wager your maraca cost more than that whole car. They're based on the drivetrain, suspension, and brakes of a VW Beetle ( drum brakes all the way around!!! ). I like them because they ban aero ( no wings ), and run on such skinny tires. Drivers tend to get sideways rather often. Very fun to watch.

What a crazy awesome build! Did you consider enlarging the diameter of the buckets to better cope with the giant cam? Not sure if that's even possible.

I saw a bolt on IRS system for the AE86 on Yahoo Japan one time, the maker was SS works.

Ikeya doesnt make anything for the AE86 anymore...they do have some cool stuff like the sequential shifter !

Yeah that’s what I was thinking paddle shifter or sequential shifter would be a nice addition
(I could not find SS Works URL but I will keep looking)

Re: CONSUMER 5.5ag 20v Coupe...dedicated to Orions Demise!
Yeah would take extensive work to make a IRS setup on these cars...think the wats link is a good option but i watched the last N2 race which Keichi won in the N2 Levin and everyone had watts link setups but not his car....

Hot Staff did a bolt in IRS frame I don't remember what rear end it suited, S13 or MX-5 etc.

I thought about posting a very common internet meme to sum up my experience of reading/looking at page 1.
But no, this build is beyond such immature gestures. Much beyond that.
Bravo sir!...bravo.

This really is an awesome building!!!
I like the facts that you posted a lot of pictures with it
I'm glad and proud rebuilding the stock 4AGE Blacktop, but i really feel a n00b right now after seeing this haha! But i really respect you to put so much money and effort in the engine. This is one of the...no just the most amazing 4AGE NA builds i've ever seen!
Just one question though. The stock oil pump will be enough for a stock (or light modded) blacktop, wouldn't it?
I only have two thumbs, but i'm putting three up for this amazing project!

stock oil pump is good to about 9k rpm. Some have used them higher, but they also tend to fail more often above 9k rpm
