Re: Headers for a daily driver AE86?

I'm just running a cheapy OBX copy of the TRD copy. I got it for $100 and thought "why not?". The fitment is horrible. If you have stock powersteering, the steering ujoint will hit the header rendering it impossible to turn your wheels. The downpipe just barely* clears the footwell/firewal...

UUhm.. regarding primer prep/wetsanding.

Re: The question that gets asked. #284 sw20 in ae86

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say I'm pretty confident that SW20 are meant for the fronts. T3 use to (or still does) sell front coilover setups using SW20 AGX shocks.

Re: The question that gets asked. #284 sw20 in ae86

SW20 are for the fronts. I believe old school Camaro's are for the rear. This is for the KYB AGX applications using factory/aftermarket lowering springs. Not sure if they are the same for coilover applications.

Re: Zenki vs Kouki GT-S gauge cluster question

I think the only difference between Zenki and Cookie clusters are the lettering/font. The layout/location is the same as far as where the gauges go. Also, the other significant difference is that Cookie clusters have a gray stripe pattern on the cluster face. All wiring/plug locations are the same.

Re: 4age high engine idle

Before you waste money on a replacement. Take off the idle air control valve below the throttle body. Should be a couple of screws, get some brake or carb cleaner and shoot it in every passageway you find on the IACV. I had high idling issues before due to the IACV being clogged by coolant gunk.

Use the ae86 lock ring, and make sure to stake it to the tie rod once it's installed.

Thanks Deuce and everyone above as well for their advice. I'll go ahead and use the lock ring then.
