S.K.s AE86 racecar

Just for comparison.. how much do you pay to get the engine bored/honed/flattened over there?

[S.K.]

Bore about 20-30e/cylinder, but fortunately I have got one workshop to my sponsor, so some times they don´t charge anything and some times very little

[S.K.]

Pistons and conrods are still somewhere
Cylinder block is bored 0,20mm and straightened, head is clenaed, straightened (also cam lines), valves are cleaned, polished and valve clearens is adjusted. Also I bought new main bearings, conrod bearings and head gasket (work and parts = 120e )

And next Ice race should be on 18.3. (this sunday) if there is still ice (here is now +12C and icetrack is 214km to north from here, there is from -2c to +2C ). Atleast I don´t drive there.

Maybe I have to wait some FinToys-trackdays to drive her again...

Edit: That ice race is cancelled (too much water on the track)

[S.K.]

Little progress, pistons are finally in Finland and maybe I will get them on tuesday. Conrods are still in ARROW, they say that probably they can fix old conrods. I just hope they can do that

So because I just need something to do, I start to fix one of my "shoebox" and another need a new engine, maybe I built one 4A 8valve on it

EDIT: Oh, I almoust forgot. I finally get pair of adjustable-TRD shocks (48531-TA071) last week. I have wait them about 3 months...

[S.K.]

Some progress

Conrods came friday (FINALLY), they were checked on the factory and they looks like new and they promissed a FULL FACTORY WARRANTY to them

So, I started to put engine together again...



Tomorrow I go order some parts, it should be back on the car on next week...

[S.K.]

Little progress in here, but it is not on the hood yet, maybe after couple of weeks...
I change a new RWD-waterpump and stuff to it (before there was FWD-waterpump)

This is what it looks now


and new engine mounts

[matt mead]

i luv ur car and your build keep up the good work

[S.K.]

I got few days ago engine back to own place and tomorrow I go find a new hose to oil cooler, new waterhoses should come on friday...so probably on monday I will get engine running first time after accident. I have also change tyres (at last) and same time I change rear absorbers to TRD 8-ways.

[S.K.]

Didn´t have to wait to monday, I woke up 8.00 because my phone was ringing: Your waterhoses has arriwed.
Great, so I picked up those too, when I search oil hose.
I just started it...

[S.K.]

Yesterday I got a set new wheels (COMPOMOTIVE MO) and I also started to modified a left wheelbase, because when I enlarged it, clutchpedal had not enought space...





And today I got a new gravel tyres (MATADOR SM-8 16/65-15)


Still need to get it on dynamometer and get it adjusted, before rallysprint on 16.9. in the neighbour municipality.
