    How am I the first to comment on this?



    That is AWESOME! I'm not much of a fan of the stretched tires, but those are some WIDE wheels. You doing fender flares?

    It's looking like a great project, and in good hands too.

    Doing tires like that always scares the crap out of me!

    Always loved these cars, keep up the good work!

    Re: My AE86 levin's build

    The stretched tires have there purpose. Been doing this for a bit now but this can be dangerous if over done. This is how the motor comes minus the velocity stacks. The motor is a blacktop 20v motor from Jpn. The velocity stacks w/splash guard i got from the philippines. ended up changing to a manual rack. Lighter, less clutter and more steering angle. Need to shave some metal so it won't rub on the inner fenderwell. Stay tuned for the fender mods this weekend



    The supra rearend waiting for install along with 4-endlinks





    Adjusted the coilover lower for a better stance



    Now for some manual rack angle with a pic head on or side view = killer AE angle

    Re: My AE86 levin's build

    So the rearend is on and just test fitting the wheels on the rear with overfenders. Today i re-did the fenders to accept the larger wheels. sanded the fenders and also flare the fenders as flat as i could get it

    Re: My AE86 levin's build

    More stuff.. fenders mounted, front and rear. I cut the lower part of the front fenders for an over all better loook but mostly for wheel clearance

    Re: My AE86 levin's build

    not a fan of the notch back ae86, but it still looks pretty dam cool eh!
    when you blow up the black top, which you will.
    use the black top itbs and manifold on a silver top motor.
    the black top motors arnt all that strong. toyota tried getting to tricky and made everything smaller.
    the silver top has the same bottom end as the 4agze but for different pistons.
    if you want to get real serious, throw the 20v head in the bin and go back to the 16 valve head.
    tehy seem to be better at higher outputs for some reason

    Re: My AE86 levin's build

    That's why the next swap will be a VQ swap. I'm sure I won't blow it up. Trust me. I've been messing with motors for a min now. People blow motors because of driver error. When I've autox and drift I've had 2 partial messed up motors an have know exactly when I have tweaked something on the motor
