14th January 2006, 12:57 AM
yeh from what i was reading the S12 only weighed a fraction more then the 86's and they were in the 2000cc class, yet the 86's would most of the time be infront, and yeh they were FJ20's didn't say if they were turbo or NA.. but a rising start was belive it or not the Starion!! apparently they hauled arse!

The original AE86 Sedan still in its original colours and set up as raced by John Smith and Drew Price is sitting in the Bathurst Museum, it is worth going there just to look at that car, [I did http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/rolleyes.gif ] I took heaps of pics of it, it is a work of art, the sheet on the side states " The car was built in Japan and raced in Australia, It had 28 class wins from 28 starts, as recorded in the Guiness Book of Records", that is amazing

Fantastic, all i can say is you are one lucky guy to have that car in your possession, yes i am green, say not interested in a swap are you....lol I mean mine is built for the track as well.

Very keen on some more pics of the front suspension set up, looks very interesting, also the rear sway bar set up.

Keep us posted on the car, would be great to see is in the Classic Adelaide and some other Tarmac events, even the Clipsal, they have Touring cars of the past running in display before the races.

Yes I was at Clipsal last year and saw the GpA & GpC demo drive, Unfortunately they won't be there this year.

I don't think you can run in classic Adelaide with a unregistered car.

nice work with the restoration/modification.

Just a couple of questions, what coilovers did you use for the rear, and did you fabricate a new strut tower to fit an off the shelf spring, or did you make a spring top to fit?

SprinterTRD
6th February 2006, 07:04 PM
Funky,

The rear coil assembly came with the car, Its a normal bilstein shock with hiem joints top & bottom A fitting has been made that adapts the hiem joint to the AE86 style top mount. The top spring mount fits over the shock shaft.

I will take some pics and post them.

Thanks mate http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/biggrin.gif I think you just solved a small part of my rear suspension problem. I might be bugging you in the near future for more specific details.

I had some concerns with doing a similar setup in my car, and the strength of the mounts. In particular the lower mount of the shock. Now that the spring isn't there to distribute the stress, do you think the standard lower mount is up to it? or have you strengthened it?

More pics of rear suspension are very welcome http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/smile.gif

SprinterTRD
7th February 2006, 06:14 PM
The lower shock mount is standard on the race car with plenty of racing under its belt with no sign of any problems.
