Category Archives: AE86

visiting old friends

got a phone call about my original AE86

the new owner needed some quick advice, so we popped around to have a look

I owned this car for close to 3 years and it was my first 86, I spent many hours playing around with it fixing and changing many things. It was a little strange seeing the car again, But it will always have a special place in my life.

spring cleaning

been doing a few tidy up jobs on the coupe of late, also returned it to a bit more of a street acceptable appearance.

I have raised it up to max height at the rear, removed the front lip, and repainted the front bar and grill.

chucked some new tyres on, replaced  few busted globes, gave her a good vacuum inside (still had a fair amount of dirt from the Tailum track day)

 

One of the rear lights had a small crack when i purchased the car, had a fellow SA 86 enthusiast  have another set lying around so I snapped them up. Turns out they are a different style of light to my original set, but i think these ones suit the car better.

 

The longer I own the car the more attached im becoming, its a great little car to drive and always brings a smile to the old dial

best car I have owned to date!
