Hi,
my name is Miroslav aka Miro.
Here in Sofia I can count ~10 AE86, I think in Bulgaria they are less than 30. My friends own 3 of them (one gone to Italy), mine was 4AC version and I bought one donor with 4AGE for spare/conversion parts.

Sorry, I can show you an old photos only - of 4AC AE86 (mine) after collision (frontal damage). I replaced the radiator with Lada 2107 aluminium one (~35 EU value brand new) and cut the front hood. At the moment the hood is welded as a drop hood vent The fender and hood are ready for painting (I will paint whole car).

These are earlier photos of the same car - with preparation of sidedraughts DelOrto , turbo, intercooler and some body elements (will be painted with the car in silver tones). I installed cheap Momo (Raid) steering wheel and bought bucket seat (Jamex brand - new with 4-point belts - not shown here).

And these are my 4AGZE crank (the crank is not shown here) and rods (I own a donor-car AE86 with 4AGE) - I plan to use them with 4AGE head to convert 4AC to 4AGT (turbo carbureted).

The car is almost fixed but with few modifications to the exterior.
Waiting for paint job (hope this month).

Nice bits you have for your engine...make it a monster!
I like the aluminium Lada radiator...might be a good upgrade for stock radiator instead of buying aluminium Koyo radiators, which are very expensive.

Dear banpei, I delayed this moment due to decision of my AE86 group(my AE86 friends here) to join to aeu86 too :-)
ZaX, in fact european AE86 group is more interesting for me - we can share solutions easier than USA AE86 drivers.
Ivan, I know that "Lada" sounds like "low quality", but this somehow is good solutuions at the good price ! The aluminium 2107 radiator is not mega-upgrade but I found that this solution provides me with ability to add water temp. sensor without use of AE82/92 thermostat housing ! Aluminium is better than the old AE86 radiator.
PS: Some interesting about electrical water-pumps - Renault uses them in Clio and 19 models (except diesels). Maybe some of these pumps, controled from water temp. sensor will be fine performance upgrade !

I have nor problems with Lada radiators...they have to keep running in the countries where they are sold, which is an accomplishment when you see how they are maintained.
I like the fact that you can mount a thermoswitch, since I'm NEVER EVER going to use the ae92 one again (which mounts too close above the alternator, and almost cost me my engine due to the thermoswitch shaking out).
But then again I'm not looking for electric fans for the time being, it can wait until I have everything I need to set it up correctly.

About the electric water pumps, Kristian was working on a similar setup, I'll wait and see how that goes, but again it might be taking things a bit too far for me.
