AE86 GTV-Multipoint Cage, Beams, AP Brakes & Brides

Ivan, thanks. They are not all 90 degree, just the starter connectors(which is just a bulkhead connector for power rather than a mil spec connector) and 2 x 90 degree mil specs where the steering column passes through the bulk head as we didnt want to have to loop out the cables where the pedal box will sit.

It progressing slowly, not as fast as I would like but after about 5 years its pointless worrying about it now. Hopefully it will be running in the next 4 weeks

A small amount of progress but going in the right direction :smthumbup

Battery and Isolator mounted


Rear screen mounted into the tailgate.



Front screen installed into the car :smthumbup



....and we are struggling with the side windows thanks to the dumb ass fabricators for losing 95% of all my window rubbers and trim, it's proving difficult to obtain the right parts for a 25 year old car :frust:

I'll keep looking....

Sweet!

[Rascal21]

One hella serious build going on here!

I only think its weird that so many people run airbox on ITB engines when open filters are proven to perform better, but then again the one good thing my car has is irrelevant when your complete car is so much tidier and better put together, so nvm really

Keep us posted

[Conrad]

Far from it buddy, the volume of that air box has been proved to be much more efficient than open trumpets. Glenn who designed it has been tuning beams engines for years has played with various volumes and found what's optimal.

[Rascal21]

Oh, beams!
Clearly I was not thinking straight!
Even so I thought open stacks was "teh shiz", just goes to show my, as usual, unprecedented numbnuttery!

Apologies, and again that is one hella car

Where do I get an air box like that for my 4AGE? It looks awesome!

Not sure mate, I don't know if this would fit a 4AG engine, message Glenn on here CelicaRA_45 I think.
