    Default 第1赤池の八六

    Hey guys, been a member for a while now and owned a few sprinters.
    When I was at uni in Adelaide I owned 2 gold ones, see pics below... I sold the last one a couple of years ago now.
    I modded them a bit but being a pov student I couldn't really do everything I wanted, they were still a lot of fun though!
    Since then I moved to Melbourne where I started a ke70 build, I got the whole drivetrain, engine, cross members, pedals, diff etc to do a 4age but I never got a shell. I moved over to Japan so I chucked it all into storage and will start up again when I get back.

    In the meantime I bought one over here and plan to take it back in a couple of years (easy after owning a car overseas for a year!!)


    Anyway, pics...
    This is my first AE86, these are from about 2001.
    I swapped this over for a 4AGE, I also added some supra brakes and coilovers, wheels etc. This one was eventually stolen in 2004, never recovered... fuckers! Would you believe it was on Christmas eve and all of my presents were in the boot?:@





    After the first one got stolen I picked this one up, again another stocker with a 4A-C.



    I sold this one to a fellow user who is building it into a rally beast!

    Since moving to Japan I've bought this one,
    Mods include: Front coilovers (cusco), Tokiko HTS dampers rear, TRD 2way LSD, 6 point cage, FRP bonnet plus little things


    These Compe sports are on the front at the moment but I have a full set of the meshies (volk mesh 14") that are on the back.

    Motor has extractors and an aftermarket exhaust system, its also got a bit of a tick and a lot of k's so I might rebuild her soon.



    Interior has an old Bride along with a momo wheel, and a TRD short shifter.
    It also had an MD player but I don't own any MD's so I might ditch it soon, it also has some stupidly heavy speakers on the rear parcel.

    Hey, thanks. The body is really good but like I said the motor needs a freshen up. It still makes decent power actually but its a bit rattly here and there.

    Mike has done an awesome job so far with the gold one!

    Sweet, looks nice and clean. Should be a bit of fun to play with. Ive got a MD player in my daily at the moment. Horrible and it only tunes to AM

    Went to the track on Friday... was very good fun! Not fast by any means but I had a ball!
    I need some new tires though, the understeer was terrible and then would snap into oversteer with even moderate throttle.
    New tyres and a good brake service and it'll be heaps quicker for next time...
    Maybe some RE001's I think.

    Unfortunately I didnt take any pics as I was too busy driving

    You live in japan. Get some AD08/RE-11/ or something of the like. Use Chinese cheap for the rear. Buy everything of yahoo. It will be cheaper.

    Which track did you go to ?

    Hey I was thinking of getting something a bit softer but I also want the life for the street. Also I will be getting 4 good tyres, I'm aiming for grip rather than drift (not that I'm too elitist for drift or anything, I just suck )

    Anyway, I've decided to buy some new wheels and buy some Dunlop Z1's
    Reason is that with these I can enter what is called N1 class, a series that is basically the most amatuer class here. No engine mods allowed, just lightening and suspension really. Different to what we all know as N1

    There are a few things that need to be done on my car before that though, first being new discs, pads, lines. Find some wheels and get tyres. Maybe overhaul engine and gearbox...


    The track I went to was YZ Circuit, not too bad a place but they didn't have any timing, you have to do your own.
