the previous owner said there were none, just the carpet?? liar!

2Kas: i have had shit with those, but i have managed to put them on thisway. Didnt have the energy to cut all the straps i have used tu put on my bumper. (no screws and that..)

Have i mentioned, that i have ordered a new Nissens radiator for some 120 eur. Its new! Original costs here around 400 eur!!!

I have discovered that i am one radiator and vent housing short. yes i am missing the plastic frame supporting the rad and vent. is there anybody who has one spare? please, i need it badly.

lp!

Which is this housing? Do you have a photo?

If you mean the plastic housing between radiator & ventilator you don't need it.
The shroud 16712 in the drawing is not applicable for my car...

The radiator uses 2 stands (pins) downside and 2 plates on top - to fix it in the bay.


This is the VAZ radiator in AE86 bay but you can see clearly the top plates.

Apolan, if I write my vin in EPC, and search for radiator I find the picture I posted.
Then I click on the part 16712 to see it's part number and epc says "not applicable". I don't have it; the same was with catalytic converter for e.g. So my model didn't came with that part.

If you see explanation 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the picture:
#1 means, that the shroud is applicable for cars with cooler (I think cooler in this case means air condition system)...

but zoran said that there was one, but he somehow lost it i asume.. nevermind, if its okay w/o, then there will be none.. no sticking fingers in the engine bay when the engine's hot. =)

You mean - stock AE86 fan ?
There is a silicone "clutch" in the aluminium body. The alternator belt powers water pump also and when this "silicone clutch" works (i.e. when the temperature in engine bay raises) - the fan works also. Thanks God - because when my car crashed - the original water radiator was folded over the fan but I still have good water pump...

So its like a temperature-triggered LSF (f-fan) =)

HUGE UPDATE

the engine fired for the first time in 7 or 8 years! its amazing, i just love toyota. wired it up and started, it fired in a second! after 8 years sitting in a garage!

tnx to croatian hachi friends (kas, hrc, zax, bitumen?) who let me copy all the wireing from their hachis.. for the first time i have seen another hachi. =)

anwayz the engine seems to run nice and smooth, though its a bit loud since i have only fitted the headers yet. revving her up to some 3000 rpm seems very lively (and very loud - fire bangs on lift-off =)). so not very far from the happy end now.. just have to get front shocks fixed and some othe little things.. im sooo happy!
