Hey guys, ok this is my AE71, I've had it for over a year now and I've spent fair bit of cash fixing it up, it runs great now, it does have a big wing too so you'll either like it or hate it.

Here are some pros and cons:
Pros: 15" X 8" superlights Vortex racing exurst
It's matt black
Big drift wing
It's low (choped the front springs and put king springs in the back)
Flaird guards
Sony MP3 stereo
Madhouse JDM Deep Chin Lip
Cons: The wing is too big (cops pulled me up and said it has to be within the body line or be removed)
It has a fair bit of rust
<strike>Stock springs</strike> The cut springs make it bumpy to drive
Engine is a 4AC
It's a 3 speed auto
It needs a wash
Paint needs some touching up (Spray can job)
Coming soon... Monza bucket seat
Manual conversion
Tinted windows
4AGE
Simpson Themed Personlised Plates
Propper paint job
Full suspension setup

And here it is:

Yeah I've only got my autos so I'm not going to make it a manual, I'm going to see if a can get an auto 4age, but thats ages away first I want to try and get a kit for it, then lower it :2thumbs: I'll have to flair the guards but im looking at getting blot-ons. I want to tint the windows too.

The cut springs make it bumpy to drive[/b]

Still using 23yr old shocks?

1st October 2007, 07:16 PM
Yeeh for now, I'll get something better soon.

Brenton
1st October 2007, 07:17 PM
Looks a lot better now. Rear guards still need a little work and the fronts will get some too. i still think the 4age in the sprinter is perfect for this car. Aye Ashley

Ok I just got a monza bucket seat, it should be put in over the weekend. I'll get a lip next

lol i dont think its bothering him. The rear springs are actually sprinter king springs so yea go figure.

ASHLEY DO THE 4AGE conversion!

Felix
4th November 2007, 03:44 PM

4th November 2007, 07:13 PM

Crap, I hit the corner of my driveway trying to get around my sisters b/f's 4WD and my lip broke off at the side.:( It's not damage too bad and I should be able to fix it but I'm still pissed off. Oh yeah and on a side note I'll try and get a pic up of my brothers red treno cupe up, he got it a few months ago but hasn't put anything on here about it, so I might as well give everyone the low down on it.

78_7kRolla
6th January 2008, 04:20 PM
Alright here is my brothers trueno coupe, you guys may have seen this around the coast a bit, he got it a few months ago off Darren Appleton, it cost him 11k all up but its in mint condition or at least it was when he got it, an old lady ran into the back of it in a carpark, he should be abale to get it fixed but it's still gay it happened. He has lowered it too so it looks real nice, anyway heres a pic:
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/7/6/3/3550.jpg

I'll get try and get a few more pics up and maybe make another topic about it when I get a chance.

13th January 2008, 11:34 AM
Alright I found this sitting in my garage at home, it was out of my brothers sprinter and we kinda forgot about it, my brother said he'd sell it and put it in for me for $1200 so I might as well do that.

13th January 2008, 07:39 PM
WTF? thats awsome, ya jsut found a 4age in ya shed, haha, how could ya forget abotu that,

will improve your car so much, jsut the manuel conversion will but going GE is awsome, cut springs are fine man, you coudl jsut slowly upgrade your suspension shit as it comes up for sale cheap but cutties arnt all that bad, my ae71 had a ge in it and i drove it aroudn with stock cutties for ages, then just went cheap suspension when it came up

top stuff man

this is fucked for me to say this, but i dont actually mind the wing.. if it had a clean paint job i rekon it would look cool

78_7kRolla
14th January 2008, 08:14 PM
Lol well at least someone likes the wing, my frined has a spray gun and what-not, so I'll just get him to give it a better paint job. I might even go gloss balck, but still not sure.

78_7kRolla
18th January 2008, 08:47 PM
Bah my brother said it might be harder then the thought to put in and that the manual conversion is going to be a bitch too. He said he would still sell me the 4age but I'll have to find someone to put it x_x I'm kinda thinking if I'm going to get a manual car it might as well be an 86 and if i get an 86 it might as well be a trueno.

8th February 2008, 10:44 PM
Bad news about my brothers trueno, some guy pulled out in front of him and he t-boned, all the front is smashed in, it's a mess, he going to see if he can fix it but it's most likely a ride off.:(

not sure yet, my bro could get $9000 and they keep the car or he keeps the car and they give him the diffance or they fix the car, he was to get it fixed but if they say no he'll try and keep the car and get some cash and probally part it out.:(

78_7kRolla
9th February 2008, 08:17 PM
Yeah it starts if it can't be fixed then ill ask him if i can buy the engine.

78_7kRolla
18th February 2008, 08:02 PM
Well my bro just got told its going to cost $5000 alone for the parts, the cars worth $9000 so its a write off:( hes still going to try and fix it but its going to cost him.

14th June 2008, 09:23 AM
Bah well I was in surfers last night and got pulled up by the cops, they told me that the wing has shap edges and that I'd need to get a compliance plate if I wanted to keep it on so I think I might just bite the bullet and take it off.
