    Post My AE85 Coupe from NZ

    Thought id make a build thread on my project. Bought it a few months back traded my AE86 Hatch for it.
    Factory 3AU 105xxxkms on body.
    Now has:

    Rebuilt 16v Bluetop 4age
    W55 Gearbox
    Bc Golds
    Full exhaust/Headers
    Shimmed Hilux diff

    I bought the car looking like this and not certed for any of the mods
















    I drove it around like that for a few months untill i decided i should start making look the way i want it too and get it all legal.
    First purchase was a set of SSR Starsharks, 14x7 -2 14x7.5 -15




    Bought some tyres and test fitted, Running the 7.5s on the front as they still out too much in the rear, Need too roll rear gaurds alot







    Found a guy too work on my car and get it too cert standard, Need to shorten my draveshaft, D-shaft hoops, lower car all round/ Roll gaurds, Whole new exhaust as the one on it now is too loud, Re-install the factory power steering set up and a general tidy up.

    Car is now lowered and basically sitting at cert height, guards have been rolled and look pretty good i think
    More pics:














    Almost ready for cert, Only a few more things left too do on it then should be off to the cert check next week will update when can!

    Very interesting, I thought that a hilux did would be too heavy for the 4ag and hinder the fun
