Okay small progress update.

I'll be doing a writeup on the distribution belt later on, for now just a picture of the end result

Also a "creative with paint" intake picture

And last but not least, my new 14" stock AE86 rimms that are going to be taken to be powdercoated soon.

Start bugging Kristian about his see-through cover, that would get you 90% of the look without the risk of ruining the engine.

NoHachi..
hehehehehehehe....

i had covers off..... resultet in a timingbelt with a HOLE in it... did not break though.

Just a small update today, haven't had time for the writeup yet, been busy taking my spare axle appart.

Removed calipers, discs, arms, stabalizer bar and some other things. Almost ready for cleaning and painting

The discs are all rusted but other then that they seem new.

Also I think my LSD is still working judging from how everything turns

If your car does donuts in both left and right direction that would be an indication of a good diff (well..up to a point).

[Mux213]

It'll be awhile before I can test that out

Sunday I will start wirewheeling the axle. Then sometime during the week paint it. Then get the caliper brackets to look nice, and then its waiting for the new bushings set

I'll be using the brake lines, brake discs and caliper of my current axle. If I do it right and shouldn't even need to disconnect any brake lines

I hope to have the axle on before the 31st.

Alrighty,

Finallly last monday it was MOT day try #2

I was nicely on time, 8 o'clock in the morning as agreed. The MOT guy didn't start on the car till 9... awelll, then after half an hour... Well sir, the car is fine, however one of the seat mounts is broken...

Well I knew this one wasn't very good when I put the normal seats back in, didn't know it was an MOT failure point. They welded the seat mount and all was fine again..Took them another hour though.

So 2.5 hours late for work, I have MOT on my car again

[Ivan141]

Congratulations Mux...You should have more concern for your safety though. Seat mounts should ALWAYS be in good condition, if one where to break during more 'spirited' driving, god knows what might happen.
I remember the organisation of the track day I went to with the volvo. They really pull the seats like hell just to make sure they are solid.

[Mux213]

Ivan,

Very true, I got pretty upset when I found out what was wrong with it when I swapped the original seats back in (I think I made a post of that) and already planned to fix it.

Still, this mount seems pretty weak to start with and the other 3 points are solid. I wonder if it really makes much different.

Okay guys,

Today the fiberglass front wings have been put on my car. The fitment does leave some wishes though. On the left front it seems the light wont fit completely right, we need to adjust this some more later on when we have some proper tools. Also in the rear bottom the wing is a bit to wide. In general it looks pretty okay, with some sanding and molding we should be able to get it looking good enough

Pictures will be up soon
