MCNSPORT.com SuperTune N2 (The re-build)

[MCNSPORT.com]

Hi all,

We want to share this with you guys.. as you people love the AE86 as much as we do - ..and when it comes to AE86's, they don't come any better than the ultimate: AE86 N2

This is our N2...

We started off building this for an event in 2007, we used it for a couple of events and then parked it up in the corner of the MCNSPORT shop.

Now it's back........... We are going to use the MCNSPORT N2 in this year Irish ProDrift Championship with Darren "D-MAC" McNamara behind the wheel.

This is how it started out:

These picture were taken on tueday july 17, 2007 - We finished the car 11days later!
We started off wit a ex N2 ae86 built by suzukijidosya in japan

BHP: unknown
Weight: 885kg








Work began that evening and we tore the car apart and called it a nite at 5am. the car was quick but as wit all 4ages produced little torque so weight loss was top of our list and im proud to say we have produced the lightest ae86 ever (until the next 1)












We welded in a new sheet of steel in the rear and modded the wheel arch where the fuel filler once was



We removed the front panel for better air flow to the carbs





We rewired all the dash and moved the gauges from the centre console to in front of the driver





Rear fibreglass hatch: we removed the inner skin to save weight, the doors also got this treatment. in fact all panels on the car are fibreglass, we even moulded panels that we didnt already hav, bonnet, headlight covers, doors and rear hatch all in a 10 day period. lexan was used to replace the rear glass and side windows

The car was originally built in 11days to make an event...... so other jobs took preference, however rest assured, the roof liner is well and truly gone now
