wont say it looks hot, but i can say itll turn out nicely!
make sure u keep us updated dude
Hey peeps,
After updating Jim's thread I realized I don't even have a thread here ahahah. My website is pretty useless at the moment. I was driving the 4AGE KE70 around for atleast a month and a half and never even got a decent engine bay photo (And trust me, my conversion had to be one of the cleanest around, everything was neat and OEM looking).
The KE70 write off...
Anyway, about 8-9 days ago, on one of me and Jim's drift excursions, I learned something... Never stick your arm out the window, mid-drift, to show off to cameras... while you are using an open diff. Came around the corner cleanly, initiated the drift, and *bang* it regained traction, threw me into inertia and my front left wheel hit a curb at around 80kmph. I bent the control arm about 40 degrees back, bent the tie rod and managed to even kink the chassis rails in two locations. The impact also broke the mounts off my thermofan, which fell onto the waterpump pulley and got chewed up quite nicely as it was thrown violently around the enginebay... *sigh*
That was once a 2degree negative camber! Also the steering wheel is actually turned a little to the left at the moment.. talk about toe in ahahah.
Anyway 3 days later I went out and purchased this nice little buzzbox. A white AE71 CS-X. T50 gearbox with perfect synchros. I was quite impressed by my find. The last few days I've done some rust fixing work, panel replacing and just sprucing up its general roadworthiness. Some time this week it will get a roadworthy certificate, be registered, and then straight away the 4AGE and all suspension mods will go in.
After rwc and rego I figure I'll probably make a whole new section of my website dedicated to the AE71. Start off fresh.
Update:
I decided to make this the daily-driver and buy a MINT one for the 4AGTE some time in future. Anyway.

Yes it currently has a defect notice, will be putting stock springs in and registering it again afterwards, hence why I don't care about advertising my numberplates.
World-class easy access ECU mounting, A Phrostbyte initiative...

And the money shots...
No matter the shit-ness of the rest of the car, I do pride myself on doing a neat OEM-looking conversion, with as little random wiring as possible, and a clean engine bay. The cops that pulled me over and gave me the defect didn't even realize that the engine had been changed. Hahah I remember the first thing the cop said to me: "JEEZUS, sounds like you're revving that thing to 6000RPM or something!", then I'm like "7800RPM actually sir". The look on his face was priceless...
Damn kids and their graffiti!?
Nah not really, just had a bit too much fun last night hahah.
Comments appreciated, not that I care
Watch this space.

This is the old one:
So I suppose just imagine the white one with that same spoiler (sprayed white ofcoarse), rims and two-tone paint job
Edit: Oh and all the tinted windows out of the old one will be swapped into the white one too
Kev.

2 tone looks tough.
I dont like the spoiler tho.
AE86 4AGE "Slowly but surely"
