Legend of LongGrain. An AE86 success story. Part 1

that dude that has phil's car is selling his 4ag

no he's not.

check JDMC, he said he would sell

das.

I talk to that dude on like a daily basis. he's not selling shit. He has no money for any kind of swap. He's just a talker.

he wouldnt even know how to remove that engine if he were to try to sell it anyway.

you know nothing.

gotcha

hope you get another engine soon

that dude ASKED me to buy his fenders because he doesnt like how they look. then when I said ok.. all the sudden he wont sell them cuz he doesnt have money to buy new ones.

he'll talk about doing an F series swap all day, but he wont ever sell his motor.

lol

I've dealt with the guy at ILL. We did his clutch.

cant you find a silver or black top for cheap?

20v require a bunch of misc shit to make them fit. Mostly with wiring and the coolant lines.

high comp 16v with ITBs is where it's at. Or if you're going big, BEAMS 3S.

yea, I can get a 20v for cheap.

if $1500+ for a motorset and like $2,000 in extra parts JUST to bolt it up and make it run is cheap..

and the next person to tell me to get an F20 is getting unfriended on facebook anthrax mailed to them. seriously.

this car will never have anything other than a 16v in it.

ill be on the lookout for another 16v. tons of dudes on JDMC have 86's, maybe one of them got a spare motor or even a place to source the motor

I have no idea what happened.

the car quit and wouldnt start back up. I was in a hurry so I just left it in a parking lot.

I'll go back for it next week or something.

cranks? no weird sound? could be coil or ignitor

it just started bogging out while I was driving, and when I stopped it just died.

it cranks super fast, but wont fire.

it could be some kind of ignition part failure, only thing is that before it died it was tapping real loud...

i didnt have time to look at it much, I had to get a ride to school before it got too late.

^ installed that

and took a picture of this

hot

Loving this interior setup. Do a side to side with the old interior setup with the vios and the nardi. Youve had 3 seats in this?

yea, 3 seats, 2 steering wheels.

old interior... what it was like when I got it pretty much



anyways. I actually did some work on this thing today. I got the motor almost ready to pull.





pulled EVERYTHING from the bay except the motor. All thats left is to yank the driveshaft and unbolt the trans/motor mounts.

HOPEFULLY picking up the new heart in 2 weeks. I finally saw pics and a video of it running today.

high comp 16v?

another blue top

but with MAP conversion.

sooooo.... ITB's Right? Right.

its a possibility in the future.
