Aram's 3SGE Beams Levin Coupe

[Aram]

Right, some things I did:

I moved the side indicators into the citylight housing:





And checking to see if it works:






I broke of a plastic hosepipe, so that meant more work. I made a new one from aluminium:






I was told the original AE86 reverse light sensor would fit in the Aisin 6 speed gearbox, but guess what, more work.....




Almost all windows are in the car now, only the left rear side window needs to be placed, it was not to my liking the first time around.
I also algined the doors and I wrapped the b pillar flat black:








Front window is in, it has two seperate sides heated, it's a rallycar version.

[Aram]

Ohh, and here is one window that got away......




One of the last things to be done is the airbox, which is alot of work.
I myself think a panel filter is always better than a mushroom one, so I asked a friend to build me one.
These is what he came up with:

Placing the maf sensor is pretty critical for a BEAMS, and getting a housing for the sensor is difficult aswell.
I finally got my hands on a original filter housing, and used parts of it for my own airbox.

I wanted hear the engine running again so I hooked it up like this, but it wouldn't run stationary:



Above a 1000 rpm though it ran like a dream

But back to the box:





And yesterday I had it welded up:







Now it is back at my friends place to be finished, he will be making a labyrinth inside for better airflow and low turbulance at the maf sensor.

One more thing I did is reroute the loom on the engine.
It was not how I wanted it to run so I needed to change.
Plus I used vulcanizing tape now, so it looks alot nicer too
















And an overal view as it is now:

Clean as F#CK!

[McKenney]

have you run the cables yet?

[Ivan141]

About the airbox: does it offer easy access to the panel filter? I can imagine it being a pain to dissasemble the whole box from the car every time you need to change filters.

[Aram]

McKenney,

Yes I have, still need to make pictures.


Ivan,

The top half of the box comes off like a regular airbox, so relative easy access.

Right, the ecu needed a place to stay, but it was 1.5 times bigger than the 4age one.
A bracket was needed:







The heater fits in it's original position, no pics yet of that, but I'm satisfied.


I always disliked the lock on the feultank door, so I purchased a nice cable assembly from Mr McKenney.
Now I can open the boot and tank door from the inside!
