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::: :DQuote:

hell you've probably seen us up there. we're usually the only hawk eye WRX wagon up there. tomorrow my brother will finally have it stage 2 and hopefully by the next V meet, he'll have suspension finished up and maybe the WedSport SA-90's hes looking into putting on it
Okay, no pics right now. But here's the update:
Things accomplished today:
Alignment done by GTE
-3 camber in the front FTW!!
0 in the rear
15" SSR MK1s [pair] mounted and balanced
I need shank-style lug nuts to run these tomorrow. If not, I 'll just use my 14" enkeis. I'm told, I can get these at Summit. Anyone know any other places?
Thanks to Tiger Racing [met a ton of coo people], installed:
-Tanabe rear sway bar
-NGK ignition wires
-NGK spark plugs
-new rotor and cap

Hey man, I just caught up on your thread and I love what I see. It seems that you take your time and do things right. I also see you have good taste in cars. When I see a good copy of a car it pulls me in and I want an AE86 more than anything right now. I took a glance in you Flickr an noticed some awesome photography. I admire what you do man. If you give me the opportunity, I'd like to meet you in person tomorrow at the drift buffet.

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.

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:

Update on the TE31...It's, currently, my daily driver...
--red coupe is being stored. I want to order a clutch replacement and get a better LSD.
--got a chance to wash the car in the after pics:
Unwashed:
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2051/...aa800eb0_o.jpg
They still work fine, but are covered in a bit of surface rust.
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2196/...28c13cd6_o.jpg
Shiny new lugs I had left over to put on the TE31...

Interior shot...Dirty Octopus stopped by the other day and saw this... :bump:
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2067/...927751c3_o.jpg
I swapped the enkeis to the front and the SSRs to the rear.
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2060/...d456b262_b.jpg
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?].
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2246/...1e3f4cb7_b.jpg
Oh, I also, replaced the gas cap. The old one's rubber seal was dry-rotted and I noticed loss of fuel pressure.
sick builds man.
nooooO!OO!OO!!! not the tow hook!!!!!! its ok...i never used dem anyways..
