Legend of LongGrain. An AE86 success story. Part 1

I'm going to do the belt right away

I have a new water pump and new rad hoses sitting here anyway. might as well do it all so I dont have to worry about it later.

And I want to put my front covers on to cover up my nasty block.

I guess its just time for a good old fashioned tune up.

Denso iridiums, most likely NGK wires, cap, rotor, OE timing belt, water pump, radiator hoses, valve cover gaskets and cam seals.

motor should be right as rain after all that.

until I find out it really is a bad fuel pump.

ive had that car run like shit on me countless time, replaced the valvecover gasket twice soaked plugs with oil car ran horrible, melted 4 or 5 distributor caps car runs and sounds like a lawn mower cause spark arches out of the cap, but it will run forever simple problem im sure of it, car doesnt know how to die.

so uhhh

car seems to be running fine today...

THE CAR HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN!

SWEEET GRAMMURZz BRO

how you gonna call me out like that, i speaks the wayz i want on the web. you aint the boss of me.

^^ I heard somewhere on the internet that you are looking for another corolla.

COOL

God I hope thats true. I miss Arnie in his lil Corolla.

Found a new original toyota timing belt set on ebay, its on its way
Ordered Denso Iridiums from Rock Auto.

Also had Autozone order in a cap and rotor, so i'll pick that up as soon as it comes in.

Advance autoparts is going to have my gaskets in tomorrow morning

I found some bolts that will work for my front timing covers.

Just have to order a new upper radiator hose, and plug wires and I'll have everything ready to go.

I hope you guys are ready for some tune-up progress photos.

i dont know who be spreading all kinds of corolla rumors on the web, but they true. once i collect a little bit of money i will buy another one.

GOOD!

Can you make your car have this height already?

that car looks cool.

I dont know how they do it, my car is not even low and I can barely turn. I'm going to go lower soon. I was going to the other day, but my coilovers were a little too seized and I didnt have time to fuck with them before drift day.

that picture makes me want to trade front ends with that brody that bought phils car.

I think I'm going to, and then I'm just going to keep that and get a goodline front also.

Your not trading fronts, and were taking care of your front fenders on SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY.

Got a new passenger seat today

car is ready for ASB

That little ass mouth of yours is ready for ASB.

YUMMY YUMMY IN YOUR TUMMY.

Roll inner fender lip out. That's what Phil did on his old coupe. Notice fender to bumper part where it doesn't line up because of that.

PS: you want that free gasket shit or what? I posted on JDMChicago what it is.

you think i can still do that after mine is already rolled IN?

I wont be able to do it on my rears.

Maybe? Take a screwdriver and pry it out and then bend outward. I know Phil ened up doing minor body work at the same time. So I don't know how much work is involved/how much you might fuck up your fenders.

my fenders are already pretty fucked up, might as well try

theres a set in the junkyard I can buy.

too bad I cant take mine off...

Rusted bolts? I remember all of my AW's body panel bolts....

molded side skirts

break that shit off.

I started working on my engine bay.

getting rid of anything unnecessary in proper corolla fashion.

got rid of the rest of my AC lines and condenser, wipers and wiper motor, EGR system, IAC system, Charcoal Canister, all other emissions BS and vacuum lines, relocated and tucked engine harness. and did a bunch of other shit.

engine bay is starting to look empty




car runs a thousand times better than before, soo smooth.

but anyways. its raining, streets are calling.

In case I die...
