A.D.D Performance AE86 RESTORATION NEARLY COMPLETE

[cab32]

Built in Japan and perfected in ireland,the car you see before you was sourced in Japan for us by Neweraimports.When the car landed in Ireland and was transported to our yard we quickly realised that this was really a track only car due to the setup of the suspension,engine modifications and the light weight panels throughout and the extreme lack of interior.

The car spent just 3 months on Irish roads before it under went some serious surgery to transform it from balls out track car it was with little or no interior,full cage,heavy suspension and engine mods to a bonkers everyday 4 person street racer.Hope you like this restoration project and get as much enjoyment from the pictures as we did from doing this project.

There were some nice surprises along the way off which i will show you as we go along.

Hi all just a few pics of the car when it landed in Ireland and had been given a wash and polish then onto the roads for the next 3 months.When the car came in we got straight to work firstly by fixing the floor behind the drivers seat as it had all been pushed up,probably from track use or just running over things on the street.... the car was then serviced using only Redlines finest engine,gear and diff oils,fuel filter,TRD oil filter,new blades,and of course fit the TRD setas that had been transplanted from a Celica ST205 GT4 to the Hachi and off she went.

After driving the car all i can say is that for a 1.6 16valve AE86 this is one quick car....we were soon to realise why.

Nice fix up!
What's the story of that intake? It looks like it is from a different engine...

[HybriD07]

I've seen that intake before in a pic in a magazine. They didn't have any info on it either.

Nice car btw

[cab32]

The intake is a K+n filter mated to an ARC cool air chamber,and in the inlet manifold had been modified and ported so as to flow more air and so on.it worked well but as you'll see later on it's all been changed

[banpei]

So they just welded a big thing on it?

i just love them with a jblood bumper

Here are some photo's of when we started the madness,it all started with fixing some rust around the petrol filler neck and then it went from there....dangerous stuff.... :wink: :wink:

[cab32]

With all the exterior pretty well stripped bar a few bits n bobs it was time to do the same with the interior and get it all washed down and ready for the bodyshop to paint
