Looks fantastic and thank you for the port numbers!
Did the 3 angle valve job change the flow numbers, specifically at low lifts?

Re: Turbo vs NA
I prefer NA to Turbo for autocross. The "response" of an NA allows me to drive on the limit much easier, with more confidence, and with more precise control. Sometimes I don't want the full power the car can make - I want to feather in the throttle to keep traction on the rear wheels and a...

Re: The 50MPG Beams AE86 Build
Surely running such a low diff ratio (3.2:1) on a 3s with relatively low torque would adversely effect fuel economy as the engine would be constantly "loaded" up??? Load is good for fuel economy - as long as you don't cross into open loop. This is why hypermilers use a technique called &q...

Re: The 50MPG Beams AE86 Build
Riddleyo- you can't get 50mpg out of a car and engine rates for 30mpg, no matter how you drive. First you build it to be able to sip on fuel and not chug it. Then you worry about keeping your foot out of it. Aero doesn't play as much of a role, since I'm not designing an entirely new vehicle. I'll ...

Re: Riddleyo's 1986 GTS 20V
Over the summer I used a harbor freight soda blaster to clean my wheels. I used baking soda to strip them as it is non-toxic and washes away with water - meaning no sand in the beads. The previous owner painted them baby blue as you can see on page 1. http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n534/riddley...

Look at the bright side, I have a sparkling fresh clean interior that smells like flowers now. After 28 years, there is a lot of gunk that builds up in your dash vents and under your carpet

I have battled mice in my AE86 - you can find my journey in my build thread. Basically, they nested behind the dash, under the carpet, behind plastic panels, and under the back seat. The chewed threw my seat foam, made nests everywhere, wreaked havoc on the wiring, and **** everywhere. My car stunk ...

Re: The 50MPG Beams AE86 Build
Nice build and ideas so far. The way to hit 50mpg is through driving technique and aerodynamics. All other stuff such as flywheel weight are relatively small peanuts.
