Krullibulls Ae86 BEAMS is the only way

Long time, no post!

The beams worked great all summer, did 3 driftdays and some light commuting(!). Wasn't great at it tho with fuel consumption of 20L/100km

But at the end I started getting heavy vibrations in 3rd and 4th, barely anything on the other gears and it disappeared when I depressed the clutch so the gearbox is probably crap.

Bring on the pics!



Finally bought myself a lift!



Took the ITBs off for a clean and milling. Printed some plugs for the bearings and seals.



Started tearing down the car again...



ITBs milled out to 48mm, plastic blasted and painted.



Teardown of the gearbox with the help of 2 friends and no service manual. Only thing wrong we found was that the ring for the shifter fork for 3&4th had moved too far.





More teardown of the car.





Had to take off the flywheel to get the engine on the stand. Turns out my cheap clutch is shit (who could have guessed? ). On the preassure plate side it had only engaged on the outer ~1.5cm.



Not much left inside now.



The deliveryman dropped of a pile of tubes. Looks like I can make them fit inside the 'rolla



Bought a notcher with proper C E (China Export) quality. All the hardware changed out from 4.8 (wtf!?) to 8.8 and new bushings ordered for the shaft since the play was ridiculous.


And that's were we at right now. I will not be driving it this year but instead "finish" it with cage, all new body wiring, equal length 4-links, new wheels?, some more stuff and finally! Paint!
