Super clean! Nice and simple...

The wiring is now complete, everything electrical seems to be working, so I must of done something right.

I have struck a problem in getting a brand new window I have been through two companys and tried about six different windshields and still no luck, all there listings for the AE85/6's are wrong

Also on another downward note it appears I have a blown head gasket, so I haven't even got the car on the road yet and its falling apart, I will tackel that job later on....

it's come a long way mate and its almost there!

When I replaced my front glass, I noticed the early 83-85 windscreens are 2" shorter at the base then the later 85-87 version. and the side and bottom window mouldings are slightly different.

the flocked dash is sweet - I can't wait to do mine

[Eircamae86]

Did you flock the dash yourself or get it done, can you pm me the cost either way, nobody in Brisbane Ive called to even knows what flocking is & they call themselves car interior specialists, muppets more like. Ive one sitting here waiting to get done

[hachirokuGTV]

Youve got me excited Rick!

cheers from NYC USA!
the car looks sweet!!!!
i have a 101 4agze w/ sc .as well in ae86....i was thinking of doing the large port head..but i couldn't figure out how to go about it....how did you make your set up work?
are you using a small or largeport head?
where do you use the throttle plate on the plenum or off the s/c?
any info you can provide with pics would be help full.......

I have used a RWD bigport intake manifold onto a smallport head with the use of an adapter plate. Using the RWD manifold doesn't allow the supercharger to sit in its normal upright position thats why mine is tipped over so much. The throttle body is attached to the intake manifold, which now makes it after the supercharger in my setup. Also I have changed the in/outlet pipes on the supercharger to suit the RWD setup.
