Popular Post S I C Posted November 16, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted November 16, 2013 Hey guys, So, finally after a very long search I ended up down in Taupo this morning picking up my new 1986 AE86 GT Apex! Some of the specs: Engine: - Aftermarket high compression pistons - TRD 0.8mm headgasket - Polished and ported head - Underbucket shims - HKS 272in 264ex camshafts - Intake adjustable cam gear - Removed TViS - TRD spark plugs - Bosch leads - Extractors - 2.25" exhaust system Driveline: - Jun ultra-lightweight flywheel - Heavy duty clutch - TRD 2-way LSD - 4.77 final drive Suspension: - Custom front coilovers - Tokico 20 damper adjustable shocks - Whiteline rear sway bar - 8kg front springs & 6kg rear TRD springs - New front lower arms - Rear upper-diff arms - Swift adjustable panhard rod - Rear strut brace - Full prothane bush kit Wheels: - Custom made 14x8 -7 (fronts) & 14x9 -5 (rear) in black Body: - DMax 25mm wide front guards - Seam welded - 50mm flares (rear) - Vertex front bumper and sideskirts - Custom cream paint (70's Honda Accord style I think) - Fog lights (very rare apparently) - Rear guards cut, rolled and re-welded Interior: - Bride Zeta 2 driver's seat - Bride reclinable passenger's seat - 21-point bolt-in roll cage - Facelift grey & black interior (very tidy) - New door cards - New hoodlining - New carpets - Nardi steering wheel - Omori 10k RPM gauge - Electric windows and mirrors - Heater, but not AC As it's already had quite a bit done to it, I'll concentrate on the minor aesthetic touch-ups first (such as that nasty little dent in the back-right corner above bumper) and also sourcing a grille! I'll go grab a warrant on Monday hopefully and should be good to go Will keep thread updated. Cheers, SIC 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S I C Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 Today I got a fresh WOF and Rego, then popped down to Platinum Wheels to have them lift the car up 10mm all-round and get a wheel alignment. Cool story bro. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S I C Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 Should probably give a little bit of an update. I dropped the car in to have the dent in the rear & chip out of the front guard fixed on Monday: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
