I began to start looking around for the bolt on bits for the water lines, alternator bracket/alternator to get the motor supplied with the car going however another motor popped up removed from an AE85 as a complete running motor. to save me the mucking around sorting the supplied motor, thought it would be a heck of a lot easier just to use this new one!

Out came the old motor

In went the new motor

I'm happy I chose to get the AE86 EFI wiring which differs from AE85 because I literally just plugged everything in. And it started pretty much first pop (had to replace ECU and set timing). For anyone doing an AE85 -> AE86 conversion. don't fuck around with the AE85 wiring. spend a few pennies and get an AE86 loom. it will save you days of prodding and poking around

Now that this is going i'm going to book some time with my fab guy in the next few weeks to get the seat mounts sorted and also get an exhaust made. As per the video. she's just heading straight out the coby's at the moment.. heh
