Inspired by Hybrid93hatch--much props to his thread. This won't be nearly as detailed as his, but I promise to have a lot of pics. :D

This will be the progress thread for my '86 sr5 hatch [4ac], '85 GTS coupe [4age], '76 2dr[3tc], and '76 auto wagon[2tc]

So far, I've gotten stock corolla rims for her. You'll only see 3 on the car right now, but I ordered some 195-40-14 Falken Ziex Ze 512s from Edgeracing.com. Good price... :goodjob:

I'm not a Toyota guru. Please, if you have any tips or suggestions, please post them. This thread's purpose is for learning, informing, and advising. I'm sure it will be very helpful for me and anyone else who might come across this. :yes:

Updates will be added to the 1st post as they are posted.

On with the pics::: :camera:

These are the steelies that were on the car:

http://puregroove.org/86-01.jpg

Ah, yes. Looks a whole lot better with the corolla rims.

http://puregroove.org/86-02.jpg

I know, still have a steelie in the rear. --waiting for my tires to come in. At least it's not painted black. :goodjob: :D

http://puregroove.org/86-03.jpg

You might be able to see a little bit of surface rust on the passenger headlight. That will be addressed later on.

http://puregroove.org/86-04.jpg

Driver side of the front bumper is a little off. I'm not too concerned with it right now. It's not bad.

http://puregroove.org/86-05.jpg

You can already start to see where the previous owner had scraped off oxidation on the rear bumper. --will be addressed later.

Update 4/27

Hmmm, decisions, decisions.

I know some of you are like this, too. The rims have to be pleasing to the eye. I just couldn't do the Celica rims anymore.

I did a little bit of shopping this week.

Enkeis are 15 x 7 30+ offset
SSRs 15 x 6 and 15 x 7

I like the Enkeis so much that I'm tempted to roll with the pair on one side and the SSRs on the other. :D :goodjob: :bump:

Update 5/01

I finally got some pics with the SSRs on the 86.
The tires are 195 60 15...blah::: :doh:

I tried to keep as much natural lighting as possible.
They are brightened just a bit 'cause the sun was setting.

And another pops up! I'll be watching this thread. Props for the GRM sticker...mag r00lz :boobies:

[Ltdnismorace]

noooiiiiice

[Stormhammer]

oOo - yeah thats a mud wasp nest - nothing to worry about

looks like a nice project :D btw, I'd double check that timing belt.... unless you know when it was last replaced... last thing you want is it snapping

[an0therh22]

this should be fun to watch...

[bigdare23]

nice!

[thinkskater]

dont go crazy like hybrid hatch did. but cant wait to see it hammered with a 20 valve. things have potential.

[thecoolcutter]

You got an awesome platform to work on! Props for joo! :goodjob:

[puregroove]

Thanks, guys:::

This won't move as fast has Hybrid93hatch's but I will update as the 86 changes. :goodjob:

[Ltdnismorace]

so what are the initial plans anyways? You gonna rebuild the motor or just go or blow for a while

[puregroove]

Cosmetically for now, I am going to clean her up as much as possible. I have no major plans for a "real" paint job in the near future. Ever heard of the 50.00 paint job? I am very handy with the can. I'll let the pics speak for themselves. I don't find paint jobs practical for DDs. Making the car look newer and cleaner is first on the list of things to address. :yes:

My reasoning for this? I had my hatch painted a year ago and it's just not worth it for a daily driver and everything you put the car through. Other people suck...don't know how to drive and don't give a flip about the paint on your car (use your imagination). :rant:

Suspension will be next on the list. I can't stand cars at stock height. Throw me some ideas. I'm also searching on corolla sites for ideas. Extra Made is looking into some options for coilover setups for me as well...suspension components included. :goodjob:

Motor-wise, I am thinking boosted 4agze. Who knows, if I stumble upon some extra $$$, it might be a bigger motor. But the A-series motors tend to keep the weight distribution at it's optimal.

Feel free to throw me some ideas, guys. :bump:

[silversol]

looks good

[Ltdnismorace]

a kid here locally to me in WV is attempting to put one of the celica type S motors into an AE86 right now, Don't know how he's making it work being a FWD engine, but it should be pretty nice if he ever gets done, don't know anything about these cars or what would be involved with that swap but it would give a nice powerband in that little car I imagine.

[Frög]

nice thread.. keep it up and nice DD!

[puregroove]

thanks, guys::

[santacruz77]

that stickers adds 10 hp they said so in there mag a while back, car looks good

[Tinton]

Nice AE86. I'm into Initial D and stuff so I love that car!

One question though. This might be stupid, but whatever. In Initial D his 86 has a redline right at 7500 rpms I think. Yours redlines at 6000. Is that due to a different engine, like something they used in USDM?

Love the pop-ups too. Both my cars have them. Have any problems with the pop-ups yet? I've had to rebuild the motors in my '88 Fiero, and I had to replace the headlight motor system in my '86 with a newer gen system. I love the sleek look they give though, so its worth the extra work.

If I were you I'd convert it over to JDM (RHD and all that) and keep it looking stock. And possibly swap to a slightly more powerful, less worn out motor.

I bet you get this question a lot too....you drift in that? lol

[puregroove]

that stickers adds 10 hp they said so in there mag a while back, car looks good

15, bro 15 hp :D

Tinton,

I'd say the 6k redline is due to the 4a. Maybe someone else can chime in.
...and no problems with the 'pop-ups' yet. I'll probably take some WD40 to quite a bit of things on the hachi, too.

I'm with ya on all the rest except for the RHD. I think money could be better spent elsewhere. That's bling I can do without, unless I had bought the hachi with it already.

No, sir. The car is too underpowered to drift...unless you really got some speed already. I hope to drift it in the future, though. :bump:

[Ed]

damn it i wanna do my own little project bottom up too...

nice gl with it man!

[SniperJoe]

Tinton and puregroove.

The redline is at 6,000 because the car is an SR5, not a GTS. The engine is a 4AC angine rather than a 4AGE, which is the fuel injected engine. The 4AC has a carb instead.

puregroove, one of the recommendations that I would make to you as another person who is building an AE86 is to get a new set of suspension bushings. The bushings are 20+ years old and it makes a big difference to freshen them up before further upgrading the suspension.

[Doppelgänger]

high milage??? nah, mine was high milage.... 420,xxx miles when i sold it :) It was all original, no accidents and factory paint!

yeah bro.. I've only had it for less than a week. can't drive it yet since one of the headlights is out. I'm in love all over again. The interior is freakin' clean. Didn't take any pics of it since it was dark.

Yeah...the 70s celica is another one of those that I would love to collect.

Hopefully, I can start bringin' her out to the meets soon--even though she's a little rough. :D

GTS hatch is where it's at... :yes:

[olivertwist]

[puregroove]

^^Yep, I still have them. I just got back from a business trip, so I haven't had much time to work on any of the cars. :(

Your car (avatar) looks familiar, man. Have anymore pics?

U will soon come to learn that those 14 inch Falkens will suck ASS when they hit very light rain. (Unless all tires do) cuz damn I was driftin in it on I-285 to I-20 east. They're great in heavy rain, and great in dry, but light rain makes it scary...

[puregroove]

lol...been a while since I updated this thread.

Progress on the red '85 coupe:

installed - hi-flo cat (50 carb legal), resonator (forgot how long--over 12", I think :D ), magnaflow oval muffler...all welded together with 2.25" piping.

--sounds really good. --bassy and powerful

Also, new rotors and ceramic pads installed.

Oh, I also got a set of rims in. Some of you already know what they are. I'll take pics when I get the chance.

Done... I know some of you are thinking, that the muffler must rub. The way it, currently sits, is perfect. Different from the pic above. It clears nicely.

Pimp man. What ya gonna do with the mesh wheels? Let me know if you want to ever get rid of em. Anyway youll love those pads...no dust barely. I just put some on mine about 3 weeks ago and I havent cleaned my wheels since. Youll love the magnaflow also, Thats what I have on the accord. Over time though it will probably get slightly quieter.

ah, that's right...you're 4x114.3, right? They'll probably end up on the '76 for a bit. :goodjob: I've had ceramic pads in the past and loved how clean they kept the rims... :yes: right now, the sound of the pad and rotor rubbing together is just real bad. I'm hoping it will quiet down after a bit of use. :tongue1:

[DrAE86Toreno]

yeah im wondering too...which one.

[puregroove]

--given that I want them all lowered. I will lower any of them, if someone gets me some decent suspension. Now, you can't just slap on some springs and shocks and be done with it like other cars... rollas are a different ball game.

Yeah, dude...Once, I'm done getting everything in mechanically optimum shape...that lip is the next thing. I keep hearing how some kits and stuff just don't fit well. Just gonna keep it simple.

Update: I was driving into to work today...given Atlanta roads and the suspension on the red car, I hit a bump and I think the motor jumped timing. It runs as if it's putt-ing along. There is loss of power and the idle is more pronounced. Gotta check it out ASAP. Where's time when you need it? :rant:

Well, it depends on how you look at it. In a speed contest, your '02 might have more cajones [pre-swap, that is]. But I will stand by the ae86 on modification and on the sheer fun they are to drive. I 2nd the notion on ditching the '02 for the '83-'87 banger::: :D

I went to Summit, yesterday, hoping to get some shank-style lug nuts for the MKIs. I drove an hour and half (due to traffic) for disappointment. And yeah, I did check for the lug nuts online before deciding to make the trip. They were only listed in bulk. Plus, I didn't know what length shank I needed. Well, I guess the trip wasn't a total loss. :camera: of the new eyes.

And this came in today :D :

Noooo... dont turn to the dark side....buy some hellas. :)

lol...u should know by now, bro. The headlights are as far as I'd go to the edge of the darkside. :goodjob: :ninja:

[puregroove]

I, finally, found some shank-style lug nuts for the SSR MKIs [pair]. So, I mounted them up. I know I need to replace/clean up the nuts.
I need to find out whether I can replace them with Home Depot ones.

Unwashed and unpolished. These are 15x8. Offset is about +5-7. I'm still going to get the fenders rolled, but no rubbing issues so far. Tires are Kumho 195/50/15.

Hopefully, I can find a pair for the front. I thought about running some Centerlines all around 'cause they're easier to source. :dunno:

I had to remove the fender to mount and connect the headlight bulb. I'm gonna bang out the fender, so I can put it back on until I find a replacement. The turn signals still don't blink. I'm going to check all the bulbs and fuses to see if there is a bad termination [correct term?].
