Legend of LongGrain. An AE86 success story. Part 1

thank you.

What he meant to say is that it would look cool with long champs

more updates that are void of any real progress.

I got a header



and lights



and this crap



And finally got my car into a space where I can actually work on it.

flatbeds make everything easier




and just to be a picture whore.





Looks much better with window moldings I think.

actual real updates to come soon, I promise.

I love this car. last pic is so good

loveloveloveloveove
Not really a fan of the vinyl on the quarter windows but hot sex none the least.

well

got engine out




started organizing parts



ACTION SHOT!



Old engine looking quite bare...



Picture whoring!


weird looking aluminum flywheel? dunno. The last part I need from the old hamster.

looks like a Fidanza flywheel

I almost have the new motor ready to go in. Just need to pick up a clutch alignment tool so I can throw the clutch and trans on.

after 3 months of waiting, the dickbag from hr.net finally sent me my exhaust. So I threw it on right away





and I removed the adjustable spring perches in the rear to see how it looked.

got about an inch or inch and a half lower in back





front is high because theres still no motor or trans up there. I think when all that is sorted that it should be pretty even, if not the fronts have room to go down still I think.

motor/trans should be going in tomorrow when my clutch alignment tool comes in.

woo!

these came



and motor is in.





just have to sort out the harness and ecu. put driveshaft in, and fill with fluids and pray to god it starts.

I love this

I need to start making sure my finger isnt in the way of the camera

Put on them longchamps already, shits gonna be so sick!!

more concerned with getting the car running at the moment..

plus the tires I want to put on them are currently on the konigs, so I'd have to put the car up on jacks to swap them. I'll do it later.

There goes your finger again.












Anyway. . . YES.

Im selling my s13 and getting this!!!!

Sounds too raw. Good shit

as far as updates go, it obviously ran. Albeit like shit, but it ran.

did wiring and ecu, still need to tidy things up, but it doesnt look TOO bad I dont think.



buttoned up exhaust and driveshaft.



Didnt have to hammer the floor or anything to fit the header, everything lined up perfectly.

and after getting it running that was about it for the night.



Longchamps are going on today I hope. Going to go get tires put on them in a minute here. Then I'm going to change fluids and put a battery in and see if I cant get it to run a little better.

Got tires swapped.



and mounted.







fitment seems weak for what the sizes are, but whatever, I'll space them if i have to.

Got motor to fire up, but ran into a bunch of issues with the MAP conversion wiring and such.

Fuel pump isnt getting power from the ignition switch for some reason so once we supplied it with direct power we were able to get it to run decently.



Still has a lot of bugs to work out before I can actually drive it though.

looks good


whats that ticking noise coming from?

combination of injector noise and some minor lifter tick. This engine sat for a long time without oil, it still hasnt gotten a chance to get proper circulation going.

Good shit Ryan.
