HA, never have i thought to incorporate a skateboard with an 86, love the effort bud.
Heres some parts that arrived last week and some i have stock piled
Bilstein Shocks, Cusco Camber tops, Adjustable Rear spring perches, 40mm RCA's, Ball joints and tie rod ends, FD Calipers, Tial 38mm Wastegate, Dump Pipe, Braided oil and water lines, Rocker Arm Stoppers
Front Super lights, Oil Cooler, Pedal box and Hybrid GT2 intercooler
Kelway Steampipe Externally gated low mount manifold
Also started on the gearbox x-member, copied Dmac's Re86 with the chassis brace/x-member idea
Also copied Nigel Pertrie and made a removeable radiator/intercooler support so its easier to get engine in and out

what did you do with the ca18det? im looking for a motor for my keto.
gonna be a tuff build!
i must admit that SR's do make a lot of sense. they are actually quite a good motor, lots of toque. if you start off with a good motor and look after it somewhat it should last for ages
Sold it about a 6 months ago, its in a ke70 now and nearly running i think
Good choice on the SR over the CA.
Cant agree on the box though. You will need an SR or 25 box sooner or later.
Other than being stronger, they will also put the shifter in a better, more forward position.
Other than that, great build.
I like the radiator support. I have to do something similar with mine
CA/SR/RB20 internally are much the same strength with ever so slightly differing ratios...
shifter position does change however...
rb20 with sr20 bellhousing being the most ideal box considering shifter postition...
MY AE86 BUILD

I always thought the SR box' were stronger to handle the torque. Maybe I was thinking 20 to 25 box.....
Anyhoo, it looks like you didn't have to cut/modify the gearbox tunnel TAs? You would have with a SR box
I guess that's one benefit to the CA box.
Nah had to cut the tunnel still because the bellhousing is SR so same size, and yeah SR, CA, RB20, Rb30 are all the same internally. I would rather buy 4 CA18det boxes the 1 SR for same price. I'm under the asumption they are the same length also.
Also +1 on the radiator support, much easier to work on
