And another update!

Well, unfortunately due to what was at the time an almost certain sale of my house, I came to the tough conclusion to sell my 4AGTE package and the AE71 it was bolted in, as I would have had nowhere to keep it when I had to move

But,

As events turned out, the house didn't sell, and still hasn't, so I've now just gone back to a basic plan for my car so I can just get her on the road again

So with all of that aside, this is the latest:

- Smallport 4AGE conversion
- Flared rear guards (minus paint)

First step of the conversion was to find a suitable engine for the job. Saw one here that was perfect for me, due to the seller's misfortune of a truck side swiping him and being dragged along a concrete wall...Truck 1, AE86 0. Anyway, got up early one day, drove to Newcastle, picked up AE86 wreck, then returned home again 14 hours later!

A few weeks later, with the help of Jake (Jdm Mcc), in one afternoon we had the 4A out of the AE86 and into my KE.

Step 1: Disconnect everything that connects the engine to the body. Having a friend to disconnect and mark the wiring so it doesn't get fucked up may be necessary.

Step 2: Unbolt crossmember and drop the engine and gearbox in one hit.

Step 3: When engine can not be lowered any more, what else can you do but lift car above engine!

Step 4: Whilst lifting car, roll it back from engine then lower onto stands. This process may need to be repeated multiple times until engine is clear of body.

Step 5: Reverse previous steps to get engine into new car.

Step 6: Stand back and look at messy as fuck engine bay. Use this time to decide on which thingo to reconnect first.


I havn't got an up to date photo of it, but as it stands now, all the wiring is done, fuel pump is mounted but just need the lines connected, and I need to swap the AE86 tailshaft and diff over, then once they are done it'll be back on the road!

So close, but so far with it at the moment, as due to being sick as, I havn't been able to work on it at all over the last 3 days. Many props to Jake and his bro though for their efforts on Sunday helping put everything back together.
