Bit of a back story..

I used to own a 2jz soarer which was my first car, bought it dead stock & did a heap of mods. Very clean & had only 128,000kms
But it was lacking something..
character.
It wasn't special, i loved it but i felt i couldnt grow with it, learn new things, meet people & better myself so i had to let her go.

Here she was in her final form at AJD









So on a cold winters afternoon i recieved a text about a sprinter for sale locally, it was exactly what i wanted



So this is where my story begins
the story of the ae86.

[harryhalliday]

This is what she looked like the day i picked her up.




Goodbye adm grill, hello levin grill!


4agze bigport afm series 1
7 rib
out of a mr2 aw11
nevo 175mm pulley pushing 12psi with a sc12


gave the rocker covers a paint, new pod, new trd leads & clear timing belt cover







Got the mod bug and couldnt resist

Ssr starshark
14 x 6.5 + 4






Whitelines!

[harryhalliday]

Drove her through the hills & went hard, it was better than i ever dreamed of

Then it went bang


Driving to work one day & it started making unusual noises, didnt think much of it at the time because i thought it might have been a loose wire rubbing or something. One take off from the light & it popped.
Why hello there conrod!


I was devastated, assuming after the first oil change there was chunks of metal coming out i highly doubt the engines had an 'easy life'.
One too many limiter bashes i think.

So i picked myself up & started searching for a new engine.
Looked awful when i picked it up, covered in grease & had pink cam covers. Was rather cheap so i didnt mind
After a lot of degreasing & a lick of paint, TRD oil cap, TRD leads & a carbon fibre spark plug cover this is what it looked like


This will be the start of the rebuild.

[harryhalliday]

I bought a t3 cooling panel

little did i know at the time it only suited trueno so i sold it off

ordered a set of bride stradias with genuine bride seat rails.


bee*r limiter


Apexi turbo timer
mainly used to read o2 sensor & air fuel ratios


And a greddy catch can

[Slimer86]

Very nice bud. If you were walking around at the cfs cruise meet point, you had a brief chat with me while I was moving my car.
FYI, unless you already have a wide band O2 sensor, I am not too sure you will gain much information from the apexi unit.

Nice build, looking good mate

[harryhalliday]

Thanks man
Ah yeah i remember!!
Checked it out at the marion stop :p

thats what i was thinking too, no wide band
I had it wired up when it was running & it worked okay
was interesting to see what it did

Might use it again later down the track

Cheers!

[harryhalliday]

Fast forward a few weeks/ months to now

Dismantled the new engine bought some adjustable cam gears
& gave it a paint


Brides in, Bubble shifter & a nardi


Bride rear inserts
(Going to get the rear seats & front door trims done in bride by a professional, attempted myself but didnt go to plan


Engine out & bumpers, lights etc
still need to take off the left fender, damn sikaflex stuck to the bottom from the side skirts


Still need to take a few things out along with this hideous home done loom :/
/

Storage is really building up! Eveything bagged & labeled
zip lock bags are my saviour :p


Bumper & lights are safe away from harm & damage


Complete steering rack + cross member out
Going to be rebuilt


Gearbox out, so much grease n grime!

Found out it was a Rx7 brake upgrade!
Didnt take much notice prior until i looked at it closely
all wrinkle painted & fresh


All new bushes
superpro


Ajps rca's 40mm


Pistons look okay but bought new ones + rings for piece of mind


Staying with stock conrods i reckon, considering aftermarket but see what happens

[joeschmo_57]

This is getting done so beautifully!
Keep it up man!

[harryhalliday]

Rip 4agze :'(


sold off the good bits so to the scrap yard it goes

[harryhalliday]

thanks man!
Really appreciate it
