Hey Guys after building my Ke, and it dieing, then buying a wagon and not wanting to work on it, i Finally bought a sprinter, big headf**k getting it though, had to buy an FC so i could swap it, long story, don't get into it, lol but essentially i paid $4500 for it
But finally after 3 months of no toyota, ive got my favouriteist car ever,
ITs a 1983 ADM AE86 (obviously)
ITs got a reasonably fresh 4age but has wiring issues so its not running at the moment, but when it does it goes hard and it has some trademark oil leaks, like dizzy
Suspension:
Front has JCS coilovers or somethign from germany with ADM brakes
8KG springs i assume, feel fairly stiff,
except i think they were made with standard stroke shocks, as they have mass travel, but they still do alright
Sigma Control Arms
Rear i believe has AJPS 6Kg springs and its got KYB EXcel G short stroke shocks and its got a rear strut brace but no front o_0
Driveline:
ADM T50 as u would assume, and jsut a gay S series but its been "customised", so i can have some fun in it
Wheels:
i have my Work wheels that i had on my Ke, which are 15x7.5 i think around the 0 or slighty positve offset running 195/50 Marshall tyres which one of is flat btu i'll get it fixed
Rears are Speedstar mesh which are on the front in the second pic, they are only 6.5 wide no sure on offset, but i plan on getting them widened or somethign
Body Work:
its got custom flared guards which were perfect for the work wheels when they had 205s on them so i might chuck some lil spacers on tehm or sumthign, and the rear guards I'm pretty sure are cby bolt ons but my wheels don't fill them hence widening is needed, and its got a Purple PAint wiht Rainbow Metallic Flake, which looks sick, and cartoon chicks nikko'd on the bonnet beating the crap out of each other with wine bottles
Inside its got 2 Drift guages mounted where the standard Light and Wiper switches were, one for Water Temp and the other is Oil pressure. the switches have been converted to levers on the column KETO styles cept the wipers are wired backwards so down is off and up is on, my knees hit it, and its also got an old school recaro which i want to get mounted abit lower but it does the job, so comfy, and also a monza harness sitting ont eh floor behind the seat
its all pretty much set except for being ADM, lol as soon as i get it running and registered I'm gonna slide the fuck out of it, and i might need to get a new clutch, which will be alright coz i get them cheap through work
My PLans for it other then that include,
T series or better
Quad throttle bodies which i have paid for half from Dave at AJPS, jstu gotta get some spare cash
Aftermarket ECU, still not sure whether i want a razorback or adaptronic or what not
Prob work ont eh engine abit, i think it needs a new front crank seal, get new cams and cam gears and headgasket and stuff
Wheels widened and better tread,
more skidders
Jdm goodies, really keen on a letterbox grill but i can't afford anythign at the moment
maybe a front lip, but not really necessary
and maybe a respray in the new SS commondore Black metallic, for a little team that me and my mates have
anyway hear are a couple of pics, i will get more maybe 2moro, and then some mroe when its running, then some more when its sliding, tehn some more when ever i do stuff to it
