ae86 track/drift toy

Hi all

im just stared my track car build and thought i would put some pics up
the car came with a very good spec when i bought it,

throttle bodes
high lift cams
trd coilovers
trd diff
aftermarket manifold
cage
new fia seats
omp steering wheel



started of stripping



testing the seat and seat mounts




thinning the loom out



ive been planning on extending my roll cage, just add more bracing and stiffen thing up abit, but i want to keep it bolt in,



as we all know gaffer tape and cable tie hold the world together

if anyone can see any problems let me know. the cross in the main hoop doesnt go to the corners because it would get
in the way of the harness mounts, and where they are is the same point as the main hoop is bolted to the old seat belt mount


not much has been done to the 86 the last couple of week,too cold and a little snow



but had a very good day today,

here are the first couple of parts in (tacked)



got the rear half of the cage done





and ive repaired the dash ready for flocking




and hopefully i can finish the rest of the cage tomorrow, and start on my seat mounts
and ive ordered my ecu/coil pack/sensors and mapping software.
good times


thing have been going slowly over christmas/new year,

to much snow and drink

but my ecu arrived



and the cage is almost done, im just waiting for some door bars to arrive.

ive welded in my new seat rails



scary welding to the car, all the other welding has been part of the bolt in cage. so if i got it wrong its only a roll cage. not a whole car
but it worked out fine.

and today ive been welding some flange onto a new middle box. because i dont want to go to all this time and effort, and then be over the noise limit


and inside its look like a barrel of a gun.


and it was a £5 ebay bargain ,


started stripping the old loom and sensors out of the engine bay
and removing the heater matrix from inside,

a very bare engine

 

ve had a good couple of weeks on the car, and the weather has been kind, but cold

door bar are in and the cage is finished



engine back together and the new ecu loom is in
trd ignition leads modded for my ford coil and mounted on the bulkhead


got the car up in the air and rear axle off. and its mega clean under there







you might of noticed im doing thing twice. as this is my first build i keep getting the order wrong
so i painted the inside, and then needed to fit my seat rails, but ive never realy welded before. and didnt do the best job on the seat rails and the floor.
after annoying a mate for not listning to him(he knows about welding). and realising he had my safty at heart, i cut the rails out to start again,
and i cut out the std mounts and some of the floor. so i can mount the seat as low as posable.
and go a pro welder to do the welding

still needs shaping and trimming



and i can now mount the seat streight of the floor(large patch)

and ive wired the ecu/kill switch


im starting to feel its moving along nicly

 

ive rust proofed the new seat rails,


painted the complet inside for the last time


ive covered all the cable and fixed them in place


made a drift pin for the hand brake, when the pin is in its a flyoff hand brake,and when its out oem

 

ok, ive had a very good week on the car , ive had the dash flocked

and ive just droped the cage off for powder coating

i have started fitting my fire exstinguisher



so the inside should be finished in week or so

 

EBay. They were only 20 delivered

 

engine bay nozal fitted



ive tryed to get the maximum coverage from only one nozal



ive just fitted the drive/passinger pull cord for the exstinguisher
and ive got the flocked dash fitted


and my poly bush kit arived today so i can start rebuilding

 

ive painted and poly bushed my rear arms.




and ive reinforced the front arms, by boxing them off.

 

ive had a good couple of days on the car,
its ready to start, when i add water and some oil

dash is fully fitted with kill switch and gauge





and the roof



cage should be back from the powder coaters on monday. so the inside wshould be finished by tuesday

 

got the cage cage back from the powder coaters yesterday. and fitted today







got the drivers seat in aswell




ive tryed to start it to day, but i wont quite go, just needs some fine tunning, fingers crossed

 

ive sorted the on bit of rust out, removed the side window , sanded it down the painted it.
i was dreading this job, but not to bad at all





ive been working on the brake cooling the moment, ive ducted air from the front bumper, the diverted it towards the caliper.
so will help alot with brake fade





and im still waiting for my rear coilovers

 

its kawasaki green powder coat, only cost £80
