My "Away From Home" AE86 Build

[CrunkGoat]

Ugh, first Red R I've seen and I have to say it's refreshing. As nice as the blue is.

Any tuning plans for the R or..?

Already threw an intake on it and plan to get an exhaust and a stage 1 tune. Might eventually get a downpipe/intercooler and go stage 2.

Was looking at an ipe exhaust but damn they're expensive

More parts

T3 adjustable lower control arms and an adjustable lateral bar. Flares are on back order but since my wheels won't be here for awhile not too worried. Still need some skirts and maybe a bumper, haven't decided yet.

In other news figured 5 cars (4 of which were summer) was a little crazy so ended up trading in my 2011 Mustang GT California Special. Love the car but love my Datsun's and corolla more so it had to go. Picked up a 2016 Volkswagen Golf R as my new daily and am selling the subaru. 3 summer cars is normal right? Lol.

In4Moar Hachi goodness. Jealous

Well been busy with work so not too many updates.

These did come though


They're Megan Racing Streets, look really nice at first glance can't wait to get them on! Lateral bar, lower control arms and flares should be here tomorrow!

Also in other car news looking at trading my 2011 Mustang in for a 2016 Golf R. Figure with 5 cars now (4 of them being summer cars) it's getting a little nuts haha. It would be a year round daily letting me sell my impreza and then only have 3 summer rigs...that's sensible right? Lol

It makes me warm inside to see a LHD AE86 in this sort of condition, in Canada nonetheless. Excited to see where it goes.

In other news the guys on an ae86 forum I joined are ready to hang me because I plan on cutting my mint fenders to add the flares so I can run the wide wheels and tires I ordered. Might see if any of them local have some to trade but not getting into doing work on rusty parts. The cleaner the panel the easier it is to cut, weld, or just generally work on it.

That's the best part! Upsetting people is one of my favorite parts of the car scene.

Updates are very promising, keep it up!

Well gonna be sticking with the SR20, the f20 I went to look at had no compression in one cylinder lol.

Haha! that's what happened with my old 190! I could understand that "oh no it's auto" comment for an older car where manuals aren't popular but an old 86, that's a different story. Can wait to see those meisters on here and some work done.

[CrunkGoat]

Had some people checking out the car yesterday while I was walking to my impreza, overheard "never mind it's an auto I take back everything I said" before they drove off lol. Guess some people dont realize how easy that can be changed haha.

Also finally ordered my wheels! It'll be around a 3 month wait but super excited for them. Ended up getting the Work Meister CR-01's in 16x9-17 and 16x9-42 with gunmetal centers and polished lips. Going to throw some 225/45s on them (brand to be determined) so it won't be a huge stretch but should give me some pretty good grip.

Also found a set of CBY flares and skirts so was able to get the wider wheels. Super pumped now that things are being ordered! Coilovers, the flares/skirts, lateral bar, and adjustable lower control arms are next on the list!

I'll see you at the Stance East show!

In for shenanigans!

(You'll have to take me for a drive, as per StanceWorks) xD

Haha sounds good to me, not sure if I'll have the 86 or the 510 there but you can get a drive in either one. Who knows maybe I'll get one of my friends to drive whatever one I'm not and both will be there lol.

On that note have 109 days until the Atlantic Nationals and 134 till stance east. Would like to have the new motor in but since I'll be doing the work at the base auto club which is only open Monday-Thursday 6pm - 10 pm and Saturdays 9-5 it might be tight!

Well motor plans might be changing, just came across a f20c compete with everything for $2000 minus a transmission. Also helps that a transmission just popped up separately for $600, quite a bit cheaper then buying the whole package and in the long run would actually be cheaper than the SR...These are the decisions that keep me up at night haha

[CrunkGoat]

Without reading anything I sub'd as soon as I saw the first picture. Then I read...and saw the talk of SR swapping...aaaaaaaaand I had to change pants. You sir, are a hero and I cannot wait to see this.

Haha thanks! Seems like people are almost as excited as me to see the work start.

Also narrowed down my wheel choice





Looking at

F: 15x8-10
R: 15x9-10

With just a roll/pull to fit the rears or could go with origin wide fronts/rear overfenders and go to

F: 15x9-10
R: 15x9.5-25

Decisions decisions
