Marmo's cornering car

[MarmO.]

hey guys new to AE86DC but loving it so far

recently picked up my hachiroku levin thats a bit of a project for me that can actually handle, i say this as i was building my vl that i was intending to use for circuit/twistie work, but some how got side tracked and now ended up pretty much just being a drag car with a powerglide and 1050hp turbo (aiming for 150+mph) that hsa reg and i can drive on the street.

its a ADM 1983 modle ae86,
i bought it off a guy called ronald goes by the name of drftae86 on here

when i first got it was running like a bag of shit,
all the plug leads were in the wrong order except for one, also the map sensor and a vaccume lead were disconnected
but is running mint now


its been seam welded inside and out

boge short strokes in the rear (out of a porsche i belive?)
cut down trd rear springs


front has std suspsion, but making some coilovers for it asoon as my koni red adjustable front strut inserts arrive (im wa welder/fabricator by trade)

extra lock spacer


has a 4point bolt in cage

front, rear, harness/rear seat bar braces


Bigport 4age
toda light weight fly wheel
t50

S-series diff (putting a new one in just deciding what)



Imediate plans are as follows

two new front seats that i can actually fit in lol
silvertop quads
4-1 extractors
2.5" "cat" back stainless exhuast
cams
front coilovers
weld s sieries diff
ssr 15x7 +1 speedstar meshies (might make the backs 15x8 -24 depending if only one or two is dameged as im buying them from otomoto in the nov shipment)
put the levin grill on when it arrive's
maybe put the ducktail hatch that i've got on
deep dish steering wheel and proberly a steering wheel spacer so my knees dont hit the steering wheel lol
whiteline tail light set or new center garnish
LCA maybe sigma or fabricated for some more camber





in the future it will mostlikely end up getting twin charged using a sc14 and gt35r or maybe compound charged as i've always wanted to do a compound charged engine though im trying to keep this car as light as possible espically in the front


heres some pics of when i first got it and after i painted it (ran out of paint on the bonnet but will probly get a carbon fiber one anyway)



when i first got it























After i painted it satin black


















the start of the extrators 44.3 od primarys (was going to go for 41od but had 44.3 on one of the mandual benders at work so why not lol) but yeh ill probly go 41 out of the head then step upto 44.3

the collector







newest addion , levin decals lol (notice all teh tree dropings on the car yay joys of spring not lol)

oh also havee rx7 four pistons for the front still have to get the brackets machined up or maybe just buy some already done still deciding what rotors i want to run, then will be doing twin pistons on the rear maybe off a skyline or volvo

[hachi_dk]

tail lights are fkn filth. Kill them

[MarmO.]

Agree they dont work at all, I reckon whitelines would do the trick

[skaney]

lol I found those rear wheels at a wrecker and painted them green for a laugh in about 2002/03! shit didnt think I would ever see them again!

[AJPS]

I was thinking just that!

[Drift_Donkey]

Paint reminds me of my car ha

[MarmO.]

you can have em back if u want once i get my new wheels just pay for postege

glad theres a bit of history in the car then too lol.



just picked up my silvertop Quad's tonight
now just gotta decide if i fork out for a t3 adaptor or make my own

[joeschmo_57]

What are the advantages of going compound charged over twin charged?

[MarmO.]

No real advantage twin charge is better IMO,
But compound would be different as one if my mates has a twin charged rb30 with a sc14 and gt35r, makes 24psi at 2000rpm and 150 or 200rwkw and 360 at 6500ish
It's absolutely insane to drive,

Compound really just helps get a bigger turbo on boost sooner while still making good power before hand
