What did you do to your car today?

[HingaSPL]

Gave my girl a facelift

[ae86xy]

[alabamaguy]

Put in the new rear end with KAAZ 2 Way and factory gears. So much better than the OEM LSD and 4.77s in almost every way.

[carbd7age]

Put the brake handle back in, reinstalled the battery, added more gas to the tank, fixed the fuel leak, and then:


Have fuel pressure and fuel. Going to check for spark on all cylinders, then rebuild the carbs. Thumbs down.

Geez carbd7age, how long was your car sitting? & I see the Camry's finally got a new batt..

Well this is what I did to my car today..installed my DIY rear links finally! Only to discover a bad vibration while driving it around which got worser, led to a bad u-joint that's not serviceable..hmmm what else...oh' attempts were made to remove some sun dried bird crap on my hood that won't seem to come off..umm,,yeah that's it for now

Man I gotta save up for one of those killer one piece DS, there's no other choice

[SidekickChuck]

Wont the one piece DS cause even more vibrations?

Yeah I took it to work for a battery, it was pouring outside and I was going to have to swap the battery in the rain? Ain't nobody got time for that. Corolla has been sitting a minute, I'll probably rebuild them anyways, I found Mikuni kits for $27/each online for the 44's, and that'll give me a chance to make proper linkage. Apparently Weber DCOE linkage works with Mikuni carbs, who knew?

Its sure the hell better not! Since i'm gonna pay good money for one!
But the + side is... it's rebuildable, stronger & it claims to be already balanced..
Nothing I can do to fix my two piece, I may as well throw the damn thing away!

And i do remember reading a thread about vibration issues with the one peice over in the old club4ag tech forum, but all that got wiped clean which was really sad...

You can search the topic for other sites discussing the topic, but I also recall reading that the pinion angle on a single piece DS can cause unwanted vibrations, even from reputable companies. It doesnt appear to be the shafts fault, but the angle.

Awesome sidekick..thanks!

[SidekickChuck]

No prob. I looked into it as I wanted to lighten the driveline as well, but I had found numerous threads like that one, which discouraged me from exploring more into it. Im not saying its not doable, but appears that you have to get just the correct pinion angle to get it right. Seems like a lot of trial and error, and a lot of time involved adjusting and driving.

Im looking to lighten up the clutch assembly a bit for better throttle response without going overboard.

[sooty]

Cleaned off the immense amount of pollen off my car

[grappletech]

Well it was technically a few days ago but i replaced my turn signal switch with a newer one. pretty simple task

[chemtrails]

i started a small fire in mine today

[Hxckid213]

connected a stereo and speakers

[The Robot Cow]

I finally sat down and figured out how to raise the rear height.

[KonaTrueno723]

Took pics of my lat/rod hanger in hopes of helping a fellow club member..furthering the removal of bolts for specs info..
I feel good:D

[grappletech]

Got pulled over for my music being too loud... Looked at the MP and said the 50 foot rule doesnt apply when you parked next to me. Called my car a Camry and drove off. Grrr

[NC Panda]

finished shaving the excess welds on my engine bay to get it ready for filler

[carbd7age]

Installed T3 NRCAs, then put my flat steelies back on and shipped out my Hayashi wheels. They're going to a good home and making way for some SSRs that need a good home.

[KonaTrueno723]

Removed my front struts to do the strut housing mod, for new short stroke shocks.

[AZNWOKZ]

made a cargo rug for trunk for the AE86. Sure too some time to find the right type of upholstery.

[SolidSTI]

FIxed axle leak, removed some half-shaft end rust, painted the end with some high temp rustoleum, installed new plugs.

[86_LeViN]

Since the car is at the body shop ready for paint, i took the bumper supports and sanded and painted them and the tow hooks as well

[LongGrain]

new front wheel bearings/races and drilled/slotted rotors, Thank you 88rotors

[EJ86]

I installed my 3rd vent cup holder (Seiwa W648), hopefully this one lasts:


(Hold you drinks or you air freshener or fold it in to hold your phone of packs of cigs)

[86_LeViN]

I was going to buy new molding for the quarter windows but it was like $300, so instead i dropped them off to get wrapped in 3M vinyl for a fraction of new cost
