September has flew by! I didn't get much done this month life has gotten in the way. Little things here and there such as welding on the BOV. I started rebuilding my mesh wheels, taking them apart and getting them cleaned up. Cut my front fenders this week still need to do the rear hopefully this we...

Since my last post i test fitted the flares on. i still need to make cuts to the fenders, weld and seal them which I will be doing later this week. I noticed i had chopped one side about 2 inches short. Dont know how i did this i was racing the sunset and i believe i may have cut on the wrong side o...

Are you talking about the fender flares...??? Where you get your aluminum wheel widening and custom work done ? Hi, I was asking about the actual aluminum rim biulding/widening/narrowing etc.. as you metioned earlier in the thread, but not specified the source Would like to 'tuck' some wheels under...

test fit making sure everything lined up then marked the locations ill be cutting and drilling the holes for now. The hole area looks a bit beat up as i hammered down the pre drilled holes so they sit a bit more flush. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50251494546_fbebfa20f5_b.jpg fitment is spot ...

Hand shaped fender flares are finally being installed. mocked them up and fitment looked great. Im planning on welding them in and prepping the car for paint. A bit similar to the jdm style flares made of plastic/ fiberglass that a tone of 240sxand 240z run but the quality on these are definitely 10...

Ordered a master cylinder a few months ago with the intent to swap out the brake booster and master cylinder at the same time when the booster had gone out. I had received the brake booster first and wanted to have the car back on the road, so instead i went ahead and only installed the brake booste...

Have not been under the hood at all lately, instead been behind wheel. I got the wheels fitted and was able to get them to fit and clear the mazda brakes. Wheels would not clear by about 2mm or less? I ended up installing is300 wheel studs which are a tad bit longer and a 5mm spacer and clearance is...

Looking to get my hands on another pair of ssr dori dori if anyone has a pair for sale. the corollas current set up. installed is300 wheel studs as they are a bit longer than the corolla, I will be running a 5mm spacer hopefully they can clear the bronze wheels so i can run the matching pair, hopefu...

The month of May had been slow. Been searching paint brands and colors for the 86. I Still haven't decided on a color, or whether I want single stage or BC/CC or a rewrap. The Car was originally red so im leaning towards that direction but The thought of just removing the wrap..... -_____- Yea maybe...

MARCH MADNESSSS. The ae86 has been driving like a dream. Ive started to daily it and its really enjoyable with less traffic out on the road due to COVID19. Fortunate to still be working during these times, but i was able to take a week off and just chill. I took the time to knock out some small deta...

Here we are today. I have no idea what sides skirts these are and apparently i have them backwards. i have the passenger side on the drivers side and drivers on passenger but they looked to have fit better this way. I will be posting more pictures this weekend of some loose ends, interior and other ...

February was a bit slow as far as getting anything done on the corolla. I started school again and told myself I will only focus on the car 1 day out of the week. The cars been holding up very well and i have been enjoying it 3-4 times a week. I adjusted my coilovers and added some spacers inside of...

Thanks! this build thread makes it look easy but its been along time coming. Good to hear. ive been looking into t...

I got the front coilovers installed and took her out for the first time since some small upgrades. car feel a lot smoother and much more responsive. very happy with the way it feels. i am thinking about upgrading to rx7 front calipers. has anyone ran them with the stock booster or wou...

first time doing bearing with this type of rear end. shout out to oreilys for their tool loaners. spent an hour trying to get the rear axles out on my own until i decided to stop being lazy and drive over to grab an axelpuller which is just a slide hammer. I got it off in 5 min. the first side took ...

Temporary brackets to hold up the front mount( until i get a bash bar) lights in and wired. manifold, turbo and turbo lines connected. front bumper was sanded, primmed and painted ht...

He ownwed a grey 20v coupe on some wide works and impulse auto flares. This has been one of my favorite lo...

no offense was taken bro. didnt think you came off like an ass at all.

In the fiberglass repairs, did you feather the base part, at least to a 10 to 1 scarf? Not many people know to do that, but it makes the repair so much stronger. Composite repairs can be a pain. Masking tape and rubber gloves will be great friends. Oil and grease your worst enemies. That flocking l...
