Hi name's Jed..
I own 3 AE95 wagon's which share a few similarities with the AE86 here and there..
All are in different stages of life.
One's simply for running around in and has no mod's worth mentioning beyond what needs to be done from time to time to keep it on the road, like replacing the rear suspension from an upgraded model at the wreckers or replacing broken parts..
Another's unregistered, got the engine pulled out with a 7agze build on the go.. or should I say in suspended animation. lots of plans, will probably take the longest.
Have since decided to get my 2nd registered wagon backn on the road ASAP after the synchro's failed. Since I have to pull the engine and box I figured I'd upgrade to a GZE but.. I happened on a bargain GZE to GTE engine with lsd C-series box from an unfinished project, with most of the turbo work done..
So now.. I'm wondering what else I'd have to do to complete a turbo conversion?
I should add, despite my ambition I have little car modding experience beyond being a mid aged maintenance worker with metal fab background, having lurked the forums for a couple of years and poured a fair amount of $ into setting up the garage and buying cars, engines and parts.
Despite this, I'm really a 'do it yourself' kinda person..
hope to learn more and share the goodness.
I know AE95's aren't popular but it is this car that got me hooked enough to learn about 4AGE's and all the rest of it ..which now see's me going to hill climb and social meets and trawling the web of various car sites from around the globe... I've even started making enquiries on importing the sedan version of the AE95 which are so hard to find in Australia, (only 300 were imported) ..with a view to modify it for hillclimb , track days and social rally meets.
So yeah..
That's me..
Cheers - Jed
