Chillin'...

Holidays and time to chill out a little and relax...in Ireland!
Would be rude not to visit the usual places again for food/drinks!
Stopped by Guinness again, always a good day out for the best pint!
Not to mention the city view from the Bar at top...Awsome!

Hachi-Roku Update...

Time for an update, but on the past...I've been way too busy to update things in detail to now, but here's how the AE86 has come along recently... I've done a few more things before the last Trackday, so i'll do a quick update here and talk you through it...

Started off by getting lots of nice tidy new parts and a bit more Carbon Fibre simple things... Carbon Fibre Timing cover, Plug cover, Windscreen panel, and Billion Carbon cold air feed intake!

Ordered a nice shiny new Cusco Oval brace for the front...
...and TechnoToyTuning T3 Tri-bar add on / FrontTow hook
Fitted along side the BILLION Carbon Fibre Cold Air feed...
During the meantime, ALOT of little details were getting done. Things that many wouldn't really notice, but i will haha! Painted up all the black Plastics/trims, Bolts, Brackets, Headlight brows, Radiator brackets, Manifold all redone etc. Aswell as that, I fancied a change of colour, so got the Cam Covers redone in a custom gold!
Polished up the Silk Road Engine Damper before fitting...
Still have boxes of parts to get fit over the next few weeks, including Earth kit/Stabilizer, all new Hoses, Pivot Shift/Tacho parts...etc
Here is how it looks for now...Before the next BIG update drops in!!!

Honda....

Simply...AWSOME...

Metallica !!!

Amongst all the crazy chaos of building two AE86's in such a short time, I somehow managed to squeeze in a night out, at the Metallica concert!! It's important to relax and treat ourselves while we can :)

BOOOOM...Up goes the Flames!!!

Light come on and down come the Metallica balloons!!
Revealing the band themselves...Metallica!
Hetfield and the guys were ROCKIN' the place all night!
Before closing it out, What an AMAZING show! Thanks Metallica!
