AE86 Update..

WOW such a crazy busy time, but over the next few better blog updates you will understand why the blog has been a bit quiet. I've finally time now to sit down and write up a bit of an update...

Finished up with the car and 1 year on at its last show there (Mosney 2009) and the local Jap meet, here's some quick photos!

Then it was off the road for her big end of year overhaul and MOT test. Anyone who knows me already knows all the cars are maintained to a VERY high standard all throughout the year, but after many trackdays, alot of driving, etc I'd been expecting it to need a bit for MOT, but was quite the opposite. Full engine overhaul, fine tune and setup, new belts, fluids etc, Oh boy is it running perfect now, I thought it was good before, but now its just a different car...

Only the best will be used...do it right!

Not knowing the full true history with any car, and after the trackdays etc it was time to change all the fluids and gearbox oil, diff oil, brakes were also done, Then a fine tune suspension setup by my main mechanic (just happens to be a rally driver). The car is just so tight now and performing amazingly well for an AE86, very happy!

MOT time, she needed nothing bar a set of brake pads (which were due from her last local trackday) and had a tiny pin leak in front brake line, so upgraded them and she was getting Pad overhaul anyway. Ended up going for the Endless Super Streets up front with new lines and Ferodo racing upgrade in the back, now it stops sooo well, great setup! Something which I would definetly recommend!

Quick pic of the new Endless up front..

So she walked the MOT with flying colours for another year's driving. Car really is perfect at the minute, so I'll just be enjoying the chance to drive it when I can, then hit up as many local tracks as possible, along with Nurburgring trip later in the year and maybe few events in UK if can get the time. Here's some photos for now, my next update will need to be a video I think..I'll work on that next!

and another...

After a nice night of highway driving and touge...
