[LittleRedSpirit]

Looks like a good package.:thumbup:

Speaking of packages, Greyhound rang me today asking when the package is going to be collected. I think you get about 5 days then they ship it back.:shocked:

Have a good one.

[starni_boy]

Yeah shit.

I'll give them a call tomorrow, it's a fair drive to pick it up which is a problem. I'll let you know though.

Cheers

[ke_70]

pics pics pics!!!!!

[20v ae71]

pics? interested in seeing these clear tail lights...

[starni_boy]

They aren't quite complete.

not your typical clear lense with chrome backings.

[wideslider]

When can I take you for a drive on your L's. I found a new way to get into hack land, The poor childs drift heaven.....

[starni_boy]

When ever.
Nah really, call or message me


pics pics pics!!!!!
Of what? Its a shell on a rotating stand. Nothing really special.

[ke_70]

interested in seeing those tail lights never heard anything like em

[starni_boy]

Its because I made them myself....

Box rocked up from AJPS today, props. Quality guaranteed! :)

[ke_70]

how u do that? tech artical pls????

[starni_boy]

Yeah maybe, Still yet to finish them.

15 hours so far and counting.

[peter_soj]

Picss :P, I'm really interested in your "modified instrument cluster". Do you think you might be able to find some spare time and get some pics of it up on here.
Sounds like a good bit of work, thanks. And keep updates coming.

[starni_boy]

It's packed away in a box. Basically here:
Get a KE70 Clock dash, take the clock out.
Cut some fibreglass out and lay it in the hole and resin it up.
Get your tacho and cut the hole according to size, the slip it into the hole.

Simple really.

[starni_boy]

Few things have been bought for it.

-New Ae86 Power Steer arms
-Another grille for the JDM front, so I have one grille with "C" and JAF badge, another with "GT" and "DOHC" badges.
-JDM KE70 fender mirrors (chrome ones)
-LHS JDM tail light, going to get a RHS soon and fix up centre bezel I have here.
-Rear wheel bearings

Rear end ready to go onto the ground, but I am going to wait until Fuel cell is mounted and all fuel lines etc are mounted due to the ease of the rotating frame. Will put the panelvan stock front sussy in just so it can roll around again. ABOUT TIME.

[starni_boy]

Yeah so... Not much to update on.

- Still waiting on PS arms, 3 weeks now. Hopefully they turn up soon.
- Injectors turned up from Shakotan Garage and it seems like they will fit into my 20v fuel rail. They're top feed which means I can make a nice polished fuel rail.
- Brake calipers have been painted silver, and will be ready for assembly in a few days after maybe another coat of paint.

No more panel work has been done due to a VERY cramped workspace at the moment.

As of 3 1/2 years ago when the project started....

[corknose]

annddd nowwww???

[starni_boy]

Its a shell with all panels attached and a diff with funky bits and pieces holding it onto the car.

It's taken me 3 1/2 years to strip a car. Sudden realization that I fail.

[starni_boy]

Thank god for that.
Sitting on a rim at a self serve wreckers in a puddle about 2 inches deep pulling the Corona rear disks off.

It's done now though, Look like a decent upgrade, drums to lock with the handbrake, disks for pedal. Reseal of calipers, new shoes etc making it all fresh :)

[OMG866]

Is this thing still alive.???

[starni_boy]

Yeah still kicking.

Re-start next year if I get a job.

[starni_boy]

Oh Sheeeaat!!!

I sanded back some bog on it which I applied about 6 months ago.
Want it finished this year. Equal length 4 link going in sometime, respray interior white, Fab up mounts for Fuel cell....

It's all happening again!

*subscribes*

Can't wait Clint, this thing will look sweet when done.

[R&D Mechanical]

hell yeah you did what i did with the tacho where the clock is, it looks the goods

more pics

[Jacobxxx]

tacho looks sooo good.
dig the shift light too. haha

[starni_boy]

Shift light is coming out, I don't like it/don't really need it.

Looks a bit wanker-ish. Reminds me of a commodore or falcon.

[corknose]

wanna sell the pivot gauge?

looks good looks like i wanna do to my 86 ive just painted the under body with sound deadner paint.

[starni_boy]

Nah man, I wanna keep it. It looks the goods and is meant to be a decent tacho too. They're on ebay america if you want to buy one.

In other news...
Rear Traction brackets turned up last week thanks to Huw.
Sent an email to streeter regarding cusco parts: Caster arms, drop down swaybar mounts, Caster arm brace and panhard bar.
Spirited Drive has ordered me my T3 add on tri brace, waiting for a pm on when it arrives.

Need to get shielding gas for the welder, and steel to make 4 link channels and my fuel cell mount.
Going to talk to my sheet metal guy about folding some boxes up for me, to cover the fuel cell/fuel setup under the car. Also going to get him to fold up a battery box for me too, then will line the inside with rubber.

Also need to get a sheet cut out to separate the boot from the cabin, due to fumes from petrol.

Weld in half cage or not?

[starni_boy]

Oh and also, Need suggestion on wheel choice. Something quirky and jap. 14x9 all round i'm thinking. Here's some rim designs I like, Will widen them if I have to....

Here's one idea:
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/2/1/4/40122.jpg (http://img444.imageshack.us/i/hxjkn.jpg/)

Colour is going to be a mazda colour, Like this:
http://webiol.homenetinc.com/stock_images/5/cc_2010MAZ002a_640/cc_2010MAZ002a_640_28W.jpg

Then I'm thinking a canary yellow/baby purple/baby blue rim centre with a polished lip. Or full matte black? Suggestions?

[joeschmo_57]

do it!

but like maybe in charcoal or bronze (depending on the colour of the car)

[rolledup]

like like like

[doots]

must say im impressed with the effort going into this top stuff
im keen to see the rear brake setup youve got when its all on.

[jdmke70kid]

cheers sam

[corknose]

[starni_boy]

Yeah, real handy for chucking shit in the back. Think I was taking my wetsuit back cause it broke..

T3 tri brace is here, Equal 4 links are here.

[starni_boy]

[starni_boy]

Put a bid on a pair of rims on yahoo also. SSR something-a-rathers, cross between a longchamp and a starshark, should look good especially with a funky coloured centre!
Also thinking about buying up a whole lot of Omori gauges. I'll see.

[starni_boy]

Omori gauges that i've got coming:
Oil temp, Water temp, volts and maybe Oil pressure. Still looking for Vacuum, and exhaust temp.

Rims are on their way.
Paint colour has been decided I think, Going to spray a test panel first and see how it looks. Sort of like a watermelon colour.
Mount for the fuel cell has been all cut up, Going to weld it tomorrow afternoon!

[keimeier]

nice want to see more!

[starni_boy]

4 link boxes are here. Fuel cell mount welded up.

Pics later this arvo :)

[starni_boy]

Forgot to add pics. Shit. They're on my camera too... Oh well.

XT130's are stripped down, respray them tomorrow arvo ready to whack new bushes/ball joints in them.
JDM AE86 calipers have new seals in them, they're pretty much assembled. Get new bolts and shit and they'll be good to go!
Will cut out the floor for the 4 links this weekend!

[shift_rook]

sounds gooooooodo, love it

[hao.]

I love your attention to detail and how methodical this build is. Keep up the good work mate.

[starni_boy]

Started my new dash instrument cluster. Looking good!
All Omori Gauges are here: Volts, Vacuum, Oil temp, Oil pressure, Water temp, Exhaust temp.
AE86 struts have been sent to Custom Compact to convert to coilovers for me.

Parts on the way:
KYB AGX 4 adj. front shocks
My front struts all converted
JDM TE71 polished wind visors
JDM rear window covers

Cool beans!

Yay or Nay? Thinking a dark brown, like coffee.

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/2/1/4/45543.jpg
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/2/1/4/45544.jpg

[stahlz_ae86]

I'd say nay. Although it is very hard to make a clean E7 look dodge just by a colour choice that one could push the limit. If choosing a brown hue there's much more pleasing browns, like the dark metallic factory one for example...



PS: I'm one a laptop screen and the colour doesn't look coffee either so I could be wrong.

[starni_boy]

Coilovers are done, being sent back to me now. Got some KYB AGX inserts in them too.
First pair of wheels are here, 14x7 SSR Star Formula's. Starting to look into widening to 9's...

Buying new decks at the moment so this won't be happening for a little while.

[shift_rook]

let me know if you can find a place to widen wheels, i wouldn't mind an extra inch on my sharks

[stahlz_ae86]

let me know if you can find a place to widen wheels, i wouldn't mind an extra inch on my sharks

There's places in vic that do wheel resto's without worrying about getting it done interstate. I know of neway wheels down the road from my work but if you PM dave on rollaclub (TE278U) he will know of the place out closer your end of the world (which I think makes new outers for 3 piece wheels).

http://www.newaywheelrepairs.com.au/services.html

PM dave.

[joeschmo_57]

dark brown will be good.
mocha-chino will be like, so better.



but yeah, spray a panel and show!

[addikt]

this is gona be dope man love the ideas...i would go with the factory metallic brown or the beige tho :)

[Clinton]

Clint, Aim for a colour somewhere between that terracotta colour and OEM Toyota beige.

[Low Style]

[sam2306]

[starni_boy]

Grilles aren't for sale. Sorry man.
Yeah fuck it, getting the colour I originally wanted. Mazda 28W.

On the other hand, I'm so hungover it's ridiculous. Hating life.

[corknose]

[stahlz_ae86]

Lol, good hangover if you're still feelin' it at 6.30. haha, self inflicted pain.

[starni_boy]

Not helping at all. Was a good night though.

Yeah Cal, saw your car parked at macca's and the red sprinter.. Looking good man. You respray it beige?

[starni_boy]

JDM window shields are here, need a polish though.
Also got some rear quarter window covers which I quite like. They'll look pretty cool once they're on I think :)

[AJPS]

can you get anymore window shields?

[starni_boy]

Not sure.
I'll ask the guy I bought mine off, but I'm pretty sure he only sold them because he wrote his car off.

I'll let you know.

[starni_boy]

Losing motivation to work on this.
Bought a JDM AE86 accel pedal for it.
Still waiting on my coilovers.
Hopefully I can sell my decks then this will be rolling after I finish off a few things!

[starni_boy]

Cleaned up hubs this arvo, pressed in 2 new studs in each. I'll do the others tomorrow arvo hopefully.
Cut out my boot floor pan too, so I can weld up my fuel cell etc.
Pics tonight hopefully

[starni_boy]

Running gear, suspension parts etc will be going into my wagon.

[john84ie]

why so?

[70rolla]

def keeping my eyes open for f/s thread

seen your wags going down burraneer bay rd last week looked sweet

[starni_boy]

Sick of building it to be honest and much prefer my wagon anyway.
Won't be able to afford 2 car rego's/insurance a year.
Got given a work ute at the start of this year so I only drive my wagon on weekends/after work anyway.

[70rolla]

how much will window visors be up for

[starni_boy]

Dunno, wind visors probably around $150 - $200. They need a polish.

Front end around $600 - $800 I guess. I really need to work shit out on what it has costed me already!

[70rolla]

[starni_boy]

Had early model doors, with aftermarket chrome door mirrors.
$50 if you're keen?

[wideslider]

Have you made any progress?

[starni_boy]

Not really, more parts have come together though.
