hello, I'm from Russia, and have AE86 Coupe LHD for almost a year already.
bought it in bad condition and start to upgrade




wheels and suspention were dead, and this was the first thing for change, to allow car just move normal.

but the engine is really suprised me, 20yo small 4a-ge is still do the job and car can hit 200km/h.

suspension setup:
Swift 8kg springs and TRD shocks (thnx doggy)
tuneagent pillowball caster rods
Rear 8way adjustable blue TRD shocks and 7kg AJPS rear springs
custom adjustable panhard-rod with pillowballs also
I havn't photo of every thing because I havn't a photoaapparat )))




added new wheels
F: R13 8jj off -11
R: R13 10jj off -11



and car start to look like a car



also added oilcath and engine wires "hotwire"


at the end of the summer car was damaged in the front
so I've decided not only restore it, but make a strengthening also.

when disassemble the car I've rebulid stock LSD with max.grip kit.
here is LSD inside

and here is new kit and cleaned parts


also my car is manual steering, so it've 3.5 turns lock to lock , it's too much and I've change in for quaife quick rack
upper is quaife, lower is stock



ufff. such a big post and sorry for my english [

Nice!
Those wheels are very nice, where did you get them if I may ask?

The Quaife steering rack I have also, not built in yet, I'm very curious how it will feel!

[PatrickAE86]

nice progress

love those wheels

wheels are steelies aerorace got from USA

everything new for breaks, but calipers are stock now.
compbrake pedal set and hydro handbreak.
an3 teflon line and some fittings here



and started to make a roll cage
with floor pedals I've moved backward for ±30cm, so seat were relocated and 140mm alu steering wheel adapter added (+95mm deep wheel and 70mm hub)
steering wheel will be in upper position as shown, to let me go in a car
and stock adjuster is extended to place wheel lower for steering.











will be finished this week.

think about gearbox shifter relocation also and like this idea

will try to make similar

[banpei]

Relocating due to a different gearbox or because you want to sit more back in the car?

[doggy]

Hehe - my old Coilovers! Nice project!

[boo50]

I wanna sit more back and because of floor pedals same time.

yeah, doggy, it's your coilovers, shocks are still in good condition
but main body was rebuilded, because one spindle was broken when outer wheel bearing suddenly broke on 100+ km/h speed (wheel locked but all ok).

roll cage update
scheme is almost the same as one rally car on our forum.
I'm also preffer "V" instead of "X" on the back and roof.
and like idea of front longeron strengthening.











extended adjustment of steering column


overall look at the moment
