    Default AE86 ( BUSH PIG )

    A few years ago we built a 4ac ae86 khanacross car out of a RUSTY parts car ( DRIFT PIG ) , she had awelded dif , full cage and basic suspension . we hillclimbed and khanacrossed her, We had a ball , then the car club lost the khanacross venue and she became surplus to needs , so was moved on.


    With a welded diff the 4ac was enough power on dirt , but she was a wee dram tail happy



    not the fastest hillclimb car but a lot of fun in I JUST STOLE IT MODE .





    JO JO picked up most of his drift skills in the pig ----- Ha Ha !

    We had so much fun in this car !

    Then the LCCC found two new venues just out of Canberra and it was time for the ( BUSH PIG ). Two years ago I bought a written off AE86 4AGZE parts car . It has been sitting under a tarp since then.

    rear suspension - koni shocks , t18 std springs ,whiteline panhard , std arms
    fuel tank -- std but with a second outer skin with sicaflex in between
    fuel pumps - in the wheel wheel , with a fiberglass cover on top
    alloy sump guard

    A few pics of the work so far --------------






    Not your average panel tools , but hay it works

    rear overfenders mean no fancy panel beating reqiured

    fuel pumps and surge tank have a fiberglass cover in the making




    the roll cage will probably stop her from breaking in half ---- hope so

    Note RHS light replaced with a fiberglass replica that is now a air cleaner vent to the air box ,also we do not need indicators so they are fibreglass copies

    Great way to use a shell that would've ended up in the bin! Have navigated for a guy with a 4agze ae86 and they are an absolute ball on the dirt! Have fun!

    no mate , I got within one one hundredth of a second of beating it but no cigar ( to old and fat ) . Have not done any since JAN. Going back to DIRT just for a bit of fun. Bitumin is just getting to expensive to run competitively now , no matter what the event . But still will do the odd hard surface event in the Soarer TT manual and the BUSH PIG will have to make an appearance or two for some sideways fun.
