[drft86]

[monkeymajik]

HOT car!

Is there a Tein HA for the ae86?!? or is that a custom job? What are the brakes like? Do you still have the part number for the RDA slotted jdm discs? http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/biggrin.gif:D

[Medwin_3sGTE_AE86]

Yeah dude... Tein only make one type of suspension for AE86... thats the Tein HA... it comes with oversized shock body and the stub axles... fuckin expensive though... cheaper to go tokico HTS and custom coil over setup...
If i had the choice again... i'd either go Kei-office (same price as tein $4g) or i'd save some money and go the tokico's...and spend the rest of the cash else where...

RDA slotted discs... go to ABS Springwood... they'll help u out...

[Medwin_3sGTE_AE86]

Truenosedan is selling slotted jap spec discs too... PM him...

[RobertoX]

yeh i sure am, thanks for the plug...u need JDM late model headlights etc

[mikes86]

hell mother f*ckin YES!. so hot, super sleeper styles at the set of lights.
you said touge weapon ay.... please please please join us on our next run, i want to perve at your car

Yeah... it was at autosalon last year... There wasn't much there then... lol...

That's very nice. Any more engine shots? The car on the ouside is very clean adn shiny.

looks good man, Cassian has been telling me heaps about it..that Air box looks like it's holding back some power though! did you make it yourself?

matty

[Sprinter_Seth]

love the kit on it, the black really offsets the red,nice work http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[DRFT - 86]

looks as good as it sounded man............... nice work...

[Medwin_3sGTE_AE86]

The car looks a lot more cleaner now... Those were old photos... I've got most of the interior trimmed up and various little other things. Cusco RS 2way's LSD has been fitted along with 4.778 final diff ratio.
The intake is kinda shit... looking at doin something when i'm fitting my new camgears... damn typhoon in japan is holding up my toda cam gears... http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/sad.gif

that car is awesome mate, love what youve done, keep going

do you have a better pic of your extractors? maybe from under the car?

Nice job man http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Here's a link to the picture of the extractors

I'll post up some more photos when i get a chance...

[sic86]

Did you do all the work yourself?

Cheers

[Medwin_3sGTE_AE86]

Not all the work... Engine Rebuild/Conversion, Welding n Paint were done by other people... Although i've pretty much gone through everything myself to fix up all the "shortcuts".... I dont trust other people's work anymore....

[rthy]

I wouldnt recomend getting those extractors, theres a reason why they have "racing look" instead of racing style next to them

[OBE353]

They look the goods, but f^ck that price

[RobertoX]

Is that a porsche cayenne in your garage? I know which of your cars I would prefer http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/wink.gif

That is one nice looking sprinter... nice work

[Medwin_3sGTE_AE86]

The Toda extractors are bloody brilliant mate... awesome mid range and great up top... Top quality too... http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/cool.gif

[mikes86]

the new rimz = the hawtness!!11

[chaserjs]

very nice jack. impressed. i wish my car has this amount of work done..

[Hachi]

Are they MA70 Supra Rims?

If so they look good on the Hachi, I would never have thought of that.

Your '86 is insane, one of the best Ive seen and so set-up I just wanna get in it and go straight to QR!

[nightdevil]

Beautiful car mate. So nice and genuine!
How does the blacktop go??? I could just imagine the sound of 7-8000rpm, ohh im so envious haha!! Great work mate!!!

Maybe a suggestion for the future:
N2 wing and sum whitelines would certainly finish that off. But it still looks beautiful now even with the zenki's

updated pics look the business champ........ very nice... have fun with ur beast..

[sprinter]

black top, nice work looks real good

[Medwin_3sGTE_AE86]

Thanks for the comments... I'm still developing the car... playing around with different setups etc to get the most out of it on the track...

There seems to be fair bit of interest on the blacktop 20v...hehe... My cars got 288/292 cams but no cam gears and still running vvt so its not quite right yet... i've never driven a stock 20v so i cant tell you how it goes compared to that... but i have been in quite a few stock 16v... i'll give u a run down of what i think...

My car hasn't got much power below 3000rpm... but from there the torque builds quickly and peaks at around 6000rpms... due to the cam timing, peak hp is achieved around 7000rpm... the car revs nicely to 8500 but to get the most of it... it think shifting at 8000 yields the best results...

Compared to a stock 16v, there is more torque everywhere especially around the 5000rpm area...

The engine atm is very driveable on the street but thats not exactly what i was after... after i change the cam gears... i'll be focusing on moving the power band up a little to make more horse power around the 8000rpm area.

My target is around 190hp+ at around 8200rpm and a raised limiter of 9000rpms http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/rolleyes.gif

[xsoarerx]

thats nice as!

how many people is that regestered for to carry, ive read if you have only two seats you can only have it for two people, etc...

can you remove the sound deading and still pass the roadworthy?

[slide86]

it only has 2 seats and its registered as a 2 seater

[Medwin_3sGTE_AE86]

Roadworthy is all dependent on who you take it to... some people are reluctant to pass anything that has been modified... even if everything meets the requirements... I had a bit of trouble with roadworthy... but eventually i found someone who was willing through my car and pass everything......

Sound deadening by itself should be fine....but make sure u put carpets back in... any exposed baremetal surface inside the cabin is illegal....

[FilthinRich]

Love the car mate, i like the rims, after some myself actually, how much did u pick them up for? n what offset are they? did you make the rear brace yourself mate?

beaut car buddy

[Medwin_3sGTE_AE86]

Sorry for the late reply... havent looked here for a while... The rims i beleive are off the ma70 supra... i bought them for around $200... Although they look good... they're fkn heavy... (15" watanabe is more than 1kg lighter per rim) not a performance rim, the offset is pretty good though... i'd say pretty close to 0.

I didnt make the rear strut brace myself... i think someone makes em... cheap alternative to something like cusco... does the same job... i personally wouldnt use the harness bolt in points though... they'll need some additional bracing if i was to depend my life on them.... http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/tongue.gif

Toda Camgears finally arrived....just b4 christmas... need to find time to get em fitted and tuned.

[RobertoX]

looking good jack

they are ma61 rims, they are fairly strong rim...seen mates rims survive gutter hits! they are +8 offset

[OBE353]

awesome car man, get those toda's in... r u goin 2 the 86 cruise comin up, cause i wanna see this beast its awesome http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/cool.gif

haha...yeah Dave... they do feel bloody strong... lol...why wouldnt they...they're almost a solid block of aluminium.... http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/laugh.gif
Good n Bad i suppose...

I'll try to get the car ready next week...then it'll be ready for the 86 Brizzy cruise... i think i've got a trackday on the next day anyways.... http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/smile.gif

[Medwin_3sGTE_AE86]

Car in the shop gettin cam gears fitted/tuned and various other little things fixed up.... Should be all ready to go for the AE86 cruise...
So worried about the output of the engine... why isnt there any info on the net about working a 20v NA engine....so gay... at least i'll have an idea... dont even know if my cams will make the power and torque i want....
Just been told Ivan Tighe Cams are no where near as good as TODA or HKS cams.... thats so gay.... i hope thats not the case... http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/blink.gif

[Medwin_3sGTE_AE86]

Cam gears are in..!! The car's been tuned... at the moment its putting out 133hp@8200rpm at the wheels.... the engine is still making good power up till 8800rpm... I think with a lil bit more mucking around with the intake(plenum) and camgears... 140 shouldnt be a problem.... at least its finally making power up in the top end...! http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/smile.gif

I'll post up a pic of the enginebay when i get a chance...

Jack, for your air box (not called a plenum if it sits before the throttle body) i can get you some big hairy trumpets similar to mine.. or what ever size you want.. let me know.. incase you havn't seen it, this is what under my box looks like..

[slynqy]

This car rocks my jocks.

Thats a crazy ass final gear ratio...does she rev up reeeealy fasT?

[Medwin_3sGTE_AE86]

Thanks for the idea... but i already have tuned length trumpets sitting inside the box... a few ideas are being throw around atm... one is to go buy the universal CFRP box on the link i sent ya... and the other which is what i most probably will opt for is cuttin down the radiator and mount it lower down and use the whole grill area as a forced air ram like on the 2L super tourers... run a massive BMC panel filter and make a whole new box... nothing much is gonna happen for while as the cars performance right now is pretty sweet...

I was pretty worried about the cam gears making my car a pig to drive... but theres virtually no power loss down low and the power in the mid range and top end is sooooo much better...

Matty... i gotta take u for a spin oneday... the car is pretty quick now (around 180-190 flywheel hp)... i think u'll be surprised... http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/cool.gif

[mattysshop]

i've already got a hard on!

[Medwin_3sGTE_AE86]

"Thats a crazy ass final gear ratio...does she rev up reeeealy fasT? "

Umm... 4.778 is pretty good for acceleration, made a noticeable difference. Although to get the most from it i should run a trd gear set for 1st 2nd and 3rd... Even on the highway its not that bad... Lots of the race cars out there run 5.xx diff ratios... i dont even get to use 5th gear at QR... i recommand the 4.778 final drive for anyone who doesnt drive their car daily...
