Teenage Build - AE86

[SlideSexy]

As a delayed, but VERY pleasing birthday present, my dad bought me HKS 272/272 8.1mm Cams, and brand new HKS valve springs. With that, I bought HKS cam gears & came across a sweeeet deal on a Megasquirt V2.2 and Silvertop ITBS. All I need is T3's ITB adapter, which I'll wait on getting unless somebody sells one for like $200 lol.


Also bought a TRD style Coupe wing since I got rid of my E30 wing


I'll upload pics of everything once in!

Heres a picture of my setup

HKS Cam Gears
20v Silvertop ThrottleBodies
Megasquirt v2.2
(missing: Velocity stacks, T3 ITB adapter, Vacuum Block)




Here are the lastpictures of the parts car I had picked up.. Wouldve cut it up, but it had alot of rot/rust/bondo







As for my car, I need to find out whats up with my Reverse lights. Previously, only my Drivers side Reverse light had been working, so my dad found another bulb and we put the working bulb, in the passengers side and the new bulb in the drivers side... now they BOTH dont work.. & To top it off, Only my Drivers Side headlight will go up and down ever since this Reverse light incident.. Can't get the car inspected until my dad and/or I figure out whats up with this.

I also mocked up the TRD style wing, but didnt take any pictures that day. It's currently about 30degrees in RI.

For a side thing, I've been looking into wheel possibilities. I'm in a fight with myself between, spending $1000+ on some really nice JDM wheels or getting cheaper wheels I can find in the US/Ebay easily (no replicas or XXRs..)

Theres a set of Hayashi Mesh (Look like SSR Formula Mesh) for sale at the moment. 15x6.5+27, which after relipping and maaaybe powdercoating the faces, would be about $1500-$1700.. which I would do throughout the winter/spring. OR Getting 15x8+0 Enkei Apache II for $700, which are really nice and classy. Two semi-downfalls to them though : 1) my dads friend with a 90 SI Civic has them. And i dont want to be a "style biter" to anyone I know locally. 2) The size isnt AS aggressive as I like (15x8.5-6 rolled fenders is my taste). If not the Enkei's I was also thinking of some Bart wheels (same as Bassets/Diamond Racing) but are only $48 EACH on Summit! 15x8-12 too, so the fitment is nice and it's cheap. & if i do plan on hitting the track, I'd be using the Celica-Supra wheels I have so weight isnt too much of aproblem.



This is how the Barts wouldlook





& the Enkei Apache II





We all know the SSRs

Been thinking the same. Ill just get some 185/60 tires for my celica supras until I can spend on some nice 8.5" 14s

[LongGrain]

185/60r 14 is like the best tire size ever, thats what i run on all of my wheels.

and stick with 14"s. 15" is slobbin.

you finna have to fist fight me for any 14x8+ wheels that pop up on here though, I'm always on the hunt.

Its all ggood I was planning on getting 14s from Japland if I do getsome

[LongGrain]

yea, thats the way to go. wheels that are already here are so much more expensive. You'd flip if you knew what I got my reverse mesh and long champs for just because they came straight from jp.

[LongGrain]

i want a matching pair, but the only pair I've found in the same size here in the US was listed for $950

[SlideSexy]

Dammmnnn. How much was the shipping.for them? And what Mediator service did you use? Buyee?

[SlideSexy]

So i decided to not go ITBd since im just learning to drive. ill stick with my stock bluetop.. maybe buy some wheels with the cash from the stuff I sold i have some newer pics of my car since its finally on the road !!!

[LongGrain]

good decision

[SlideSexy]

Figured "hey im only 18.. first car ill take on the track, why do i need power? I already have a rebuilt bluetop and a 4.77. I'll be ok" Lol Looking on Yahoo.jp for some 14x8/8.5s. Once taxes are in, ill have enough for a set.
