I don't think so. I feel like OP would have said they were magnesium if they were, and they would be even more expensive. You rarely see those for sale used since they're mainly used for race applications.

I just ask because I have Rota Slipstreams which I think are pretty damn sexy (for the DC2) and clock in around 12lbs per wheel. I highly doubt they are less than that. Dude Slipstreams look sexy on any Honda Lol. My personal favorite being black slipstreams on a red EG Hatch. Then there's the Muge...

Lol Watanabes Always been this much $$$$ they never went down nor up. Specially 15x9's or 15x10's thats like prime sizes for ae86. Every time you buy wats there is a long wait cause they are made to order + taxes + fees+ shipping so yes this is a good deal for these sizes. Gotta pay to play 1600 sh...

I got to get mine finished, I just want to friggin drive it again haha! Yeah dude, get yours back together so we can have corolla hangs. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4552/37784288475_4a696e9b0e_b.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4565/38639614112_4e1d2f3463_b.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4...

IT3 is decent too. They fall somewhere in between custom and off the shelf in my mind. Its because they use off the shelf shocks, usually from other makes/models; although, theyre known to work on an ae86. If t3 could do their own bespoke ae86 model specific damping somehow it would be a huge plus....

man i haven't seen these vids in awhile but i think you guys might like this one even though its not directly vintage touge definitely race inspired lol i think the music fits perfect tho https://youtu.be/ULZOgcHXwXw Now that is cool! I could watch those group B videos all day. I found this not too...

No major update. Although I did get all my parts to do my little overhaul this winter. I was able to get the waterpump, gaskets, and spark plugs from Toyota, and I got the OEM Timing Belt via BattleGarage. I will get the drive belts when I do the work. It shouldn't be a problem to take them to Car Q...

NC and TN have cool car meets, and lots of people tackle BRP and the Dragon.

Yeah I know :p There's several dudes I know who always go to that "Tougefest" every year held at the Dragon, but I've never gotten the chance to go.

I wish people still did stuff like this.

Only thing people want to do in my area is hangout in parking lots and/or roll race.

Godamn emo hipsters. LOL yeahh ... I was all about it. Long hair, Hot Topic, skinny jeans, keys on the belt-loop (still can't break that habit), etc. I still enjoy the music and playing it with friends, but I gave up on trying to "make it" in a Hardcore band. Pretty much impossible if you...

Not really "vintage", but I could watch this dude drive all day.

My RHD conversion was a front clip. But I went over board I wanted a full internior so I get JDM black seats, sun visors, power windows, etc. It looks authentic. Interesting! Just out of curiosity, how did you go about getting a RHD front clip like that? Did you specifically contact someone to sour...

Things might be slow and small, especially around my neck of the woods, but its still alive and well! This was a few weeks ago at a local car meet. Somehow managed to get all the KY86 owners together for once Lol. Unfortunately the white coupe was wrecked this past weekend, but the owner is well on ...

Good ol' German spec worked for me thus far; gutentight Lol

UGH. Can anyone give me a shot of the orientation of the washers on the bottom (axle mount) for the rear shocks? The PO switched them on either side, and I have no idea what is correct. The 14x54 blurry image in FSM does nothing. Should the two washers "cup" the bushing/shock assembly lik...

I'm tellin ya man, for image hosting Flickr is where its at!

Yeah they should be bolted onto the conical cup(s), and you have to get it from underneath the vehicle. Like, take a deep-well socket and go at it from the bottom. You should see the bolt(s) inside the bumpstop. Another side note: In the old FA review, where the dude was complaining about the perche...

Three bumpstops? There should only be two, one inside each spring, that are held in there by a bolt so you can just remove them completely.

Yepp! Just like that. Only thing is the FA adjustables are completely solid, like a cup, so you won't be able to use the bump stops. Idk what brand is pictured, but it looks like the center is hollowed out so the bump stops will fit. As far as the rubber, you will be able to use the bottom rubber(s)...

Lol the guy in the pictures is the tech who let me use his rack.

Usually everyone says I look like Kumar or the dude off Super Troopers haha

Interesting ... Another thing to note, on the front Volks I had 175/65 tires so the sidewall profile was massive. My new wheels I have 195/60 and even then they're still thick and give the car some height. So depending on what size tires you have that could definitely affect how high/low it is, espe...

That is very pink hahahaha I'd definitely check that bypass around the back of the head. Mine leaked pretty bad in the past. Man, doing that kind of a basic overhaul of the engine and stuff will be great! Can't wait to see what happens next. FWIW,I recently discovered these guys have a bit better p...

As far as the ride height goes (it's been awhile for me messing with coilovers), it seems if you drop the front and not the rears (or vice-versa), it won't sit right. So I'll be doing the rear springs with adj. FA perches and TRD struts. Then move to Cusco rear sway, panhard and "multi-link&qu...

It was slow at work one evening so I got one of the lube techs to let me borrow his rack for a little bit. Good thing I got it in the air Lol :oops: :lol: :( https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4496/37938003872_a8f942c242_b.jpg I don't know if its a head gasket leak, or coming from I think that little pl...

I'm just pumped you got to keep your 86 while in between jobs! Lol.

Definitely looking forward to seeing more!

Yes sir!! I played in a hardcore band in highschool for many years, later turning into one of those post-rock/"sad-boi" bands Lol. But I'm in an Alternative/Indie-rock group now. We released an EP back in May. https://flyingthings.bandcamp.com/ (can also be found on iTunes, Spotify, Google...

So the upper "spring perch" is rubbing against the camber plate causing some scoring? Perhaps the anodizing on the spring and the upper hat is causing them to "stick" together, so when you rotate the spring adjustment perch, the spring is rotating the upper hat against the camber...
