Tks Guys!

No, the 4AGE is not in yet. We´ve missing some parts that we are collecting right now.

well, finishing the project story so far...

So we then try to paint the OZ Wheels.
we try it white



ok, not the best idea we thought...

Here´s the photoshop



So, Will be painted black and polished lip or gunmetal and with a red line..

my brother have met a great guy in the retrorides forum and made business with him,



We bought fast road T125 kent cams to the 4k also. These were not installed though. Will be for sale soon

The car's seen a bit of track action... but (almost) zero modifications!

we finally solved our lack-of-proper-shocks problems. Thanks to Koni Portugal, we now have reduced length in our AE86's Koni Sport rear shocks and Koni Sport's adapted to our front struts as well

Finally, a nice shot, in R888 semi-slicks:


and the engine!



4AGE Bluetop, the 2nd generation



and the custom bellhousing, to fit a Ford Type 9 box

[Lajoosh]

i have never seen a bellhousing like that...
why are there so many holes on its body?

btw i just wanted to say i like this project. i wonder if i can find a kp in my country, it must be fun.

[The Doctor]

those carbs look familiar, say hi to your brother from me

nice work on the little starlet, how do you rate the R888s?

[127 Boy]

LOLOLOL

Nice find Lajoosh!

Aparently is to be lighter and to keep the fly cooler
Didn´t know if it is better or not, still it was used in a Escort 4AGE Rally car until he change engine.

Hi Doctor!!! Will do!!

Well, We were seeing the wrong side of the numbers when we reach the point to upgrade the 4K. Even if it went near 110bhp (very difficult), the price plus reliability doesn´t fit for us. But I think you too chose the 4AGE side, right? :wink:

The R888 in it´s medium compound is amazing in the KP. Lots of grip, surprisingly on wet too, have a good lateral wall and it lasts considerably more than heavier cars. It made so for 4 trackdays and I think it will last 3 more.

Currently I´m buying a set of R888 for my Gti, so after January trackday I can give a bigger feedback.

[The Doctor]

yeah, i know what you mean, i had a 105 bhp 4K, but it lasted only 50km before it commited suicide.

I'm going 2T-G in my KE20 now, more weight and less power then a 4A-GE

i had A048R's on my FWD starlet, it's nice to feel what differance they make
Next set of semislicks are going to be R888s to, i heard good things about them.
