Indi's 86

[indi]

My red 1984 Toyota Sprinter was completely stock when I bought it and not a lot has changed apart from some unplanned body realignment http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/dry.gif

Before.....

My first time on the track.....

http://www.initialdrift.com.au/gallery/albums/upload/events_20050115/IMGP3911.JPG

Then tragedy struck... someone ran into when it was parked.... http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_9_7.gif

http://members.optusnet.com.au/~indimc/mypic46.jpg

It was written off by the insurance company but they sold it back to me for $1000 after paying me the insured value. Almost all fixed now though, my little brother and I did a lot of the work ourselves which was kinda fun. Its going to MFX on Tuesday to get the MFX front bar and vented guards I bought fitted.

This is the bar I'm getting....

http://www.mfx.com.au/prod/images/ae86bar.jpg

and the guards...

http://www.mfx.com.au/prod/images/ae86grd.jpg

then I just have to get them painted, not sure whether I should paint the new bonnet I got or leave it looking dodgy (blue and primer) until I get a carbon fibre one which will hopefully be in the next month.

I had planned to modify the diff and suspension first but because of the accident the bodywork became the more pressing issue http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/dry.gif I'm looking for a T-18 rear axle at the moment and I have a Cusco RS 2-way diff waiting to go in once my car is back on the road.

[slide86]

sounds good, front bar and guards will look hot. oh and cool plates

[breno]

looked clean as before the crash, nice number plate aswell

[Julz01]

[indi]

Thanks Steve, speaking of painting....... http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/tongue.gif

Hopefully I might be giving you a call at the end of the week http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/wink.gif

[ae86]

lol.. indi did you see my 86 out the back?

i got home today and thought someone had parked my 86 out the front.... you know it didnt even click that you didnt have my rims on, kit, or panda'd.. only till i parked next to it i saw the plates... =^.^=

Neko.

[indi]

Hahaha thats funny, once its all finished and painted with my new rims on it we'll have to go on a cruise and watch people do double takes http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/tongue.gif a guy I know brought his new red hachi to my place on the weekend to show it to me, its absolutely immaculate! Not a single crack on the dash, its all shiny and straight and no scratches or rust verrrrrrry nice! For some reason he didnt want to swap though http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/wacko.gif

[indi]

These are the deep dish rims I'm buying.....

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/4/8/4/3/73376.jpg

[ae86levint]

rims are old skool kool http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/wink.gif are u keepin it red?

[E V A N]

Paint the centre of those rims black and polish the lip.
Would look awesome http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/wink.gif

[indi]

Yah, for now. Respray is kinda low on my priority list. I really wanted to respray it in Shockwave - Ford XR6 blue but I noticed someone else on here is planning that colour so I'm going to have to find another one http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/sad.gif

[screech]

id like to see it in a saffron gold, with a gold pearl coat.

that would be a sweet colour. you should check out a paint supplies shop to find something you like. http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/smile.gif

[toyoda]

indi go with the new baby blue WRX color, it isnt really baby blue more of an ice blue i reckon that would look mint

[indi]

Time for an update...

I dropped the car off at MFX last week looking like this....

http://members.optusnet.com.au/~indimc/mypic68.jpg

They did a great job fitting the guards and the front bar, VERY HAPPY http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I'll get pics up of how it looks now as soon as I can.

[Medicine_Man]

we are all eagerly awaiting your post http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[indi]

Here it is, this is how it looks now.......

http://members.optusnet.com.au/~indimc/mypic70.jpg

I'm loving the MFX parts, they did a great job fitting them too http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/cool.gif

[breno]

that looks really good, i was starting to get abit sick of streeter kits, but atleast now there is something differnt http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/smile.gif

[Medicine_Man]

any front on photos?

[caps]

hey indi its kris i like the front bar very sexy..
cant wait to see it with the rims on it to..

kris

[Blood Child]

you wouldn't happen to be thinking about bringing that bonnet to the gold coast would you? i could take it off your hands and you could pick up a nice cf bonnet from streeter while you're here

[indi]

Hey Kris, I should have recognised the Sprinter in your avatar! Man that car is hot! Mickey freaked us out last night when he wouldnt say which car he'd written off, Brett, John and I all went pale and shaky thinking he'd written off the hachi http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/laugh.gif

Blood Child the bonnet isnt mine, John has lent it too me until I can buy a new one, havent decided whether to get a plain carbon fibre one or a fibreglass vented one.

[toyoda]

hey indi its me luke, met at the pub and was sittin with ya's at Dnats. did ya have an alright trip back home?

[DRFT - 86]

coming along nicely.......

[caps]

hahahaha nah it was the charade we difted it into about 5 trees oh and we also had a head on with a tree very funny stuff ill try to post some pics of it ...

kris

[indi]

Hey Luke how's it going? We had a great trip home didn't we Chris? I spy with my little eye something beginning with "R" hahahahaha

[caps]

oh oh oh is it road ahhahaha thats how bored every one was...

[indi]

LOL damn you're just too good at guessing the answer Chris http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/wink.gif hahaha

[indi]

My car is sounding much happier at the moment. I got my carby overhauled yesterday and got it tuned. I dont have to keep my foot on the accelerator to keep it idling anymore w00t http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/cool.gif It feels so much better to drive now. I cant wait to take it to Queensland (BTW Kris we're going in my car now http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/biggrin.gif ).

I especially cant wait till I get back from Qld with all the bits to put in my LSD. Then I'm hoping I can get all the unpainted bits painted, take Steve up on his very generous sway bar offer, and hopefully my new carbon fibre vented bonnet will arrive all before 18 June so I can take my baby out to the IDA Eastern Creek skid circuit day. Hmmm will have to get a move on with suspension too. http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/7/5/4/536981.jpg

[Medicine_Man]

Good to hear you got the carby sorted out, lot better than dicking around trying to adapt something new different..

[indi]

Yeah it cost a bit though but at least the car is all nicely tuned and now has more power than when I bought it.

[toyoda]

put a supercharger on the ol 4ac, that will give it some kick hehe http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/tongue.gif

[sic86]

That is a nice looking kit.
To bad about the crash. You going to keep it red? As red goes faster http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/tongue.gif

Cheers

[screech]

he he he, the best one ive heard is...

"but blue ones get more sideways!"

[Little Jon]

hey indi

Haha guys not much has changed in outward appearance as yet, but I'll be sure to post pics up as soon as it does.

Andy, yes I did meet you at drift nats, I'm not sure if I'll be going to the SA round but will you be coming over for the Oran Park round? I'm hoping to try and compete. http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/cool.gif

HOWEVER, my car does have one major difference as of yesterday..... *drum roll* yes my Cusco RS 2-way has been installed YAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!

MANY MANY thanks to Steve (aka Screech), Kris (aka Caps), Keven (aka Loki Boyracer) and of course my boyfriend John BIG HUGS AND KISSES for all of you!

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/11/11_5_1.gif

[screech]

anytime darlin, and how is it going? id gues its still a little tight. you must be having so much fun with it, or maybe john might be? http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/tongue.gif

[driftae86]

did you remember to drive in figure 8's when you installed it?

[indi]

I drove it home very carefully then went to an empty carpark and did figure 8's for about 15-20 mins. Still taking it easy but I'll have to give it a bit of "test" before I go to Eastern Creek on Saturday http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/wink.gif

[driftae86]

that would be so weird, driving in figure 8's for ages http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/tongue.gif

people would be like...wtf?

[trueno86]

hey indi i thought your not suppose to drive it above 20km until u have run it in with a 30min figure 8 run cause i am about to install my lsd and going to be doing it in an industrial area :S

[indi]

I dont know, I've heard so many different stories about what you're supposed to do. http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/huh.gif I did a few very low speed figure 8s (like <10km/h) out front of the place where we installed it to work the oil through, then went around the block at about 40km, I didn't take it over 60km on the way home then took it to the empty carpark where I did more figure 8s for about 15-20mins. And yeah it did look pretty funny but no-one complained because we weren't doing anything wrong, just driving around an empty carpark. http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/wacko.gif

[Little Jon]

running stuff in is just precautionary!!!
yeah i'll be at oran lookin all shiny and shit...
oh and drifting aswell

[caps]

no worries it was such a coinsidence that when we were putting it in it was raining.. hehhehehe hmmmmm rain..

[screech]

yes it was raining, wasnt it mate? *giggling*.

and didnt someone have some fun that nite? http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/tongue.gif

[Monster]

Yes, you did get to see alot of round abouts from the front window...

And the back!!! http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/rolleyes.gif

[mumblezzz]

Figure 8's just make the break in process a lot quicker. Instead of 300 k's of light driving with lots of left and right turns. Just 20 mins of figure 8's. Drop the oil. Put some decent shit in and go thrashing.

[indi]

Its official I'm drifting a boat, I think I was sea sick by the end of the day. I don't think this was the kind of sideways action I was after http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/laugh.gif

Ummm actually no, John has a Bride seat he just puts it in my car for me whenever I'm going to the track. Hmmm I wonder if that's meant to be a hint http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/tongue.gif

At the moment half of my car was his, the rims, suspension (yay its not a boat anymore), front disc brakes, seat, bonnet all came from his car. But I have to give the seat back once his new suspension arrives.

I get the feeling he's planning to do something else to my car too but he won't tell me what, he's been having secret little meetings with our friends and last night he and my brother locked me out of my room so they could discuss something in secret http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/dry.gif

I'm sure Steve knows what it is.

[slide86]

he wants all of his stuff back
and he is trying to figure out how to get it http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/tongue.gif

Okay a quick update on what's happening with my car. I'll post some pics later.

We all got sick of the multi-coloured/primer look on the front so armed with a box of cans of gloss black spray paint Screech attacked it last week and I have to say he did an awesome job and gloss black on a hachi looks HOT I'm thinking about doing the whole car now http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/tongue.gif

And the secret is out!!!! The surprise that Steve and John were planning for me is sitting in my garage a GZE!!! http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/ohmy.gif Now we just have to get someone to pull it apart and put it all back together again and find all the bits needed to put it in my car! http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/cool.gif Definately looking forward to that!

In the meantime I've been thrashing the car at every available opportunity (only on the track of course!). I want to learn to drift as much as I can with my current setup as I believe that there is a benefit to learning in an underpowered car because you have to work harder to make it drift rather than just relying on the car's power and setup and will ultimately make me a better drifter.

Here's a sneak preview of some of my new pics...
