My AE86 Is killing me!

[AE86Taylor]

Got the rearend situated, got the new suspension in, started installing the exhaust and headers..... but still can't find anyone around that can weld on my EDIS trigger wheel. One local shop quoted me $350. I laughed in his face. So I'm kind of stuck. Working on doing the MS2/Extra mods to my Megasquirt to try to use the stock cam sensor. But that also means I have to buy some new Ignition components.... Blows... I so wanna drive the car. I miss the handling. And I really wanna hear it.

Going to work on refreshing the paint over the next week or two.

I'm sure your laugh isn't as loud as his, lolol. You may just have to ante up and take it to where you can get it done if you have no other options. Later, QD.

I know it doesn't cost that much to center locate the gear on the pulley and simply weld it on. Alot of people have had the same thing done for less than $100. I'm leaning more towards the guy thinking I was some dumbass ricer who doesn't know the cost of metal work. Had he told me $150 I'd have been cool with that. but $350 is insane.

I've talked to them about that kit. But you have to cut away the bottom of the timing cover, and grind off some of the front of your oil pan for clearance. The car will be a daily driver and I'm not comfortable with running an open lower timing cover. Or grinding on my oil pan, that's just asking for more opportunity for it to develop a leak.
