Welcome all,

This is the second in Rex's three part series entitled 'Musings on AE86' The for-sale saga.

Here Rex presents to you one of the most tastefully and comprehensively modified AE86 He's ever seen in the flesh.

The specs are as follows:

JDM Kouki AE86 Levin
3000kms covered since full build
Fresh white paint
Spot-welded chassis (full chassis)
FRP front guards
FRP Bonnet
Front lip spioiler
Redline tail-lights

BigPort 4AGE (ofcourse)
TRD Leads
TRD ECU with remote trim
25mm copper radiator
Tom's 1.3bar cap
Front mounted oil-cooler
HKS pod filter
GX70 starter and adaptor
Apex'i headers and straight exhaust

Recaro fixed back seat with rail
Momo tiller
Omori Oil and water temp gauges
Cusco Safety 21 roll-cage - Through dash, not silly s-bend type.
A/C!!!
CD Player
Stripped and painted interior

Full CRUX-Engineering suspension setup
- Adjustable dampers
- Front coilovers
- Height adjustable camber-tops
Revolver negative camber RCA's
Aujustable castor rods
Adjuatable lower control arms
Cusco front anti-roll bar
Sleeved tie-rods
Modified diff location (panhard rod and lower links dropped)
Equal length adjustable upper arms
Front strut brace
Strut-top to Firewall braces

Revolver front brake upgrade
Braided lines front and rear
Aftermarket pads
Master-cylinder brace (brake stopper)
Lightweight NCHK 14's
Semi-slick tyres


Well, He's sure you get the idea. It's been imported properly so it is eligible for compliance however with its modifications it is better suited to racing like Imporved Production or Tarmac-Rally. There seems to be no traces of rust or dodgy-ness. Nice to see a proper track-only car these days that isnt a defected R31 with a welded diff... $12,000 and she's yours!

Its a way of creating favourable and tunable geometry for the rear end. By adjusting the angles and arcs of movement it allows the rear to be tuned to generate more/less grip, to dial in/out roll-steer and so on and so forth.
