oz 86 my toy my way :)

[fantapants]

well that was it for the body, but what of the bits???
well check it

all the very best things in life are pink on the inside :worthy:



made 104kw at the wheels and runs a fairly basic setup with a motec comp. Still need to sort a decent fuel system, but its enough fun for now. Was planning a monster na build later this year, but plans have changed a bit to either plan a or plan b. Plan a is a turbo conversion. Easy fun and kinda cheap. Plan b is a big capacity ( for a hachi) v6. Largest engine i can still get engineered is a 3.5l. So vq35 will see what happens.

suspension is fairly simple, s13 front end with hsd coilovers and det brakes (280mm ).



Have a set of z32 calipers ready to go on, just waiting for the new rotors to be redrilled. Will have r32 bmc and a brak balance adjuster so should be a bit of fun. Overkill i know, but thnkning down the road with some big horsepower planned...

Rear end is all rose jointed bar the sway bar and panhard. and originally t3 coilovers were used...





but i found the agx on 8 to be too soft for what i wanted even with 6kg springs i was running out of travel... mainly cos of the limited stroke left by the t3 mount. So i refited the t3 to a set of trd blue rears, which on setting 2 are already stiffer than the agx on 8. Also had the upper hat machined and did a few other bits that saw my stroke incease by 60mm. :smokin:
Also added helper springs to try and keep things captive





these are the trailing arms i got to allow for more pinion adjustment.

Also thought it was a good time to learn a new toy... angle grinder. Im 29 and had never used one sooo



out came the diff...

and off came the spring perch's. Never going to use them again on this car, so it made sense to allow for another 20mm of diff movement befor the spring seat hjits the bump stop

then it bit me...



was lucky it was just a nick lol.

Put a newish 4.8 trd 2way in, previously it had a 4.3 welded in it. A coa of black shiny and back in she went.



My ever suffering wife bought me a new set of shoes and sox for my birthday...



but wouldnt let me use them till my brithday! I did however have a cunning plan... if i sold my other wheels, she would nt have any choice... :wack:

you can also see te modified t3 top hat. Had 35mm shaved off the crown to let it sit deeper in the cup.
