My Drift project - 83' Trueno coupe

[doggy]

Well - finally i can oficialy start a project tread here yasterday - my Trueno has arrived Long trip from Japan - but in the end it was all worth!

First of all - will just start with a mod list - what it has inside And then - plans for it

83' AE86 GT-APEX Trueno
Ae92 Engine (not 100% sure)
HKS Filter
Master Cylinder Stopper
Front TRD Coilovers, Swift Springs, Cusco Camber Adjustable Top Mounts
Aftermarket TRD Manifold and Exhaust System
GReddy Oil Cooler
Aftermarket TRD HT Leads
Toll Centre Adapters
Aftermarket Tie Rods and Ends
Aftermarket Panhard Rods
Rear TRD Blue Shocks and Springs
Half 5 point Roll Cage
Harness
Recaro Bucket Seat
Nardi Steering Wheel
Advan Shift Knob
Omori Meters
Volk Racing wheels
Full brake system overhault
New front disks
New rear disks
New calipers

Dont know the brand of Exhaust (muffler) but by the looks of it - its somthing from a bike

Well - here how myTrueno looks:

Best View so far



And here we go - some body repairs needed - but as im not too worried about them - this will not give me a lot of headake





Seat - for some extremly small ass


And here are the places where i was expecting to find rust - but - i was disapointed Body - honestly - is IN SUPERB condition as for a 83' car






Small Greddy Oil cooler


And the engine - either its RED TOP (the old version with just the AE92 REDTOP intake manifold) or a whole engine... Ecu seems to be from AE92 so i can not still identifie engine...


Some "deep dish" 14's by HIRO LTD. called Rock Racing (WTF??? Volk racing copy?)



And one of LOTS of battle stickers it has way too much of these all over inside of the car


One new shipment of front lights arrived too today - still trying to decide - wich front end to put on it ... Trueno Vs Levin... Hmm who wins?




Here is the shot of the suspension



And finally - bunch of parts waiting to be installed



Plans? Well - first of all - body - get rid of all the damaged panels - weld in all the new stuff - fix whats is still good for fixing - get the rear arches fixed (some rust spots on them) and paint it. After this - Engine. No more N/A.. Engine goes out - gets full overhaul with GZE forged pistons (late spec) GZE rods, ARP Headsutds, cometic headgasket, ACL rod/ main bearings, brand new oil pump

After this - custom exhaust manifold + turbo (still cand decide with wich one to go... Either CT20B of VF2

Suspensio - S13 suspension in the front, S13 rear in the back (this might happen later...)

Transmision - SXE10 Altezza tranny with custom belhousing.

Oh - and the main thing - RHD to LHD conversion Cuz its not posible to register the RHD car on the road here... So this will include custom dash and other stuff

Lots of still in mind - so keep tuned - and you will see some action

Honestly - it rand around 2900 euros including delivery / customs fees and etc... So its not that bad, if lets say compare to the Europe corollas and in waht condition you can get one for that price in EU...

[Crowfield]

who the hell could get a car like that....so fcked up.... the former owner should be ashamed on himself

[[Walaki]D`Lair]

Nice car

[zenki]

It needs work but you got a good base to work on,i don't see much rust on it.

I also like the rims ,they look very nice. :wink:

Good luck with the project.

[robokill]

engine looks like a smallport. or they have an adapter plate on the intake side...... the ae92 non tvis manifold doesn't fit the bigport head.

[doggy]

Well - some more updates Today i bought some more things for my "missile"

ARP head studs
Cometics headgasket
Sard FPR
XXR 15x8 ET0 Wheels (will be used for drifting only - cuz i dont want to damage my 14's )
and poliuretanium suspension inserts After a week - works will start on the body - so i will get some more photos of the progress

Also - I STILL can not decide wich front to use Trueno Vs Levin - is gonna kill me... I like both

[Gtsi-R]

take the trueno

sell the headlights of the levin to me


no I like the trueno allot, cause you dont see them allot here

Cheers,

Roel

[Crowfield]

i'd say trueno, but thats just cuz i Love the trueno more than the levin headlights

i mean i love the levins, but here the Trueno's are pretty rare

and retractable headlights has something classy
