    Default Conroy's 86

    Hey guys just bought this 86 with 198 on the clock. goes well and has a few goodies. 4age bigport, 4-2-1 extractors, 2.5 zorst. apparently its got the jap gear box which is stronger, also has aftermarket rear sway bar, 14 x 7 wantanabes , locked diff, and a skull gearknob
    tell me what you think

    plans are:, cams, lightened flywheel, hopefully a full engine balance.










    a few new pics. been saving up for a few bits n peices, will be one mint 86 soon ^_^

    Hey thanks for the comments guys, i got told it had coilovers.. crop of lies, its got choppies, but has an aftermarket rear sway bar- nice and stiff in the back. overall its not bad but i would prefer some coily's.
    also i decided to take the wing off and theres some hideous rust holes so im going to fix them, theres also rust holes here and there and i kinda dented the rear right hand quarter from drifting too hard :/ i know a panel beater so shes gunna be 1 schmick 86 soon.

    as for marvix i drove a sierra. and to tell you the truth it handles fine how it is but i want to get coily's eventually. now stop posting crap in my thread i dont give a shit how grumpy you are.

    car looks to good mate. butttt i gotta say when u visit the panel beaters get them to mould that ducktail onto the hatch properly.
    im a sucker for white hachi's with black watas.

    keep it up

    oh and PS auszookers is a suzuki forum, NOT auszoku. completely different things.

    Car looks great on the Wats', man. And you don't neccessarily have to fork out for coilovers right away. A set of proper lowering springs and decent shocks will see it handling better than on cut springs.

    haha give it a rest marvis.....you sound like a fool. its a ring....on a strap....let him do his thing.

    and mr zookieboi, i really like your car hey! i like clean standard ae86's, that rear bar is quite nice and subtle. as someone said, you dont have to go to coilovers straight away. the only advantage is you can adjust the height of them. if i was you id just grab some better shock absorbers (like 250 a pair or so), you might find even the cut springs are good with better shocks. but cut springs arent really that recomended in the front though.
