Here in Holland it is doable, but the weather is crap.
So when are you gong to move again?

Next move will be early/mid 2013 to so far unknown location

Hmm, that's a long time.
If I am not mistaking, in Holland you can import half cars as scrap metal.
Maybe something is possible over there?

Tried that, problem is a half car will cost me more than a running one, once you incl. shipping. That's also the reason why I wanted the swap from UK in the first place as I would have been able to ship it for free from Switzerland to here.
Anyway will redo my plans for the 4A-GE (building a mild version instead of full-out awesome build) to keep cost down and will see further once I leave. Just need to get rid of my full-out built smallport head without too much of loss.

Aram,

You make up your mind on the exhaust choice yet?
I still struggling on this matter.
Not sure what is the best for a cheap and efficient setup.

Any idea.

If you can weld or have a mate who can - I'd make something myself. That would have been my plan. i.e. keeping the original header and then go from there keeping the lengths of the pipes same as OEM and diameter at 60mm all the way to the back and include as many silencers/resonator/CAT as you need. This should be rather easy as the header itself is the most difficult thing to make and the OEM one only needs a bit of adjusting at the two port end or you might even keep it as is and do all the modifications necessary on the downpipe (which will need to be custom anyway even if you get and aftermarket CAT-back made for the AE86)

Hi Yung,

I have not looked at it yet sorry m8.
But I think I will reweld the original exhaust manifold, as mr bandit said.

I put the axl under the car, looks nice:







On it's wheels again, still high on it's feet for some reason:

Just a thought!

If I put my car for sales, would there be any one interested.
I am sure no body interested it in HK.

Got to go Australia for work. My project may need to freeze for an unkonw while.

KD,
Sorry to hear that!
Can't you store it somewhere?


Philip,

Working on the radiator, think it will be next week.
