Hey guys, just want to chime in on the last point about the progressive setup for the front and rear: As a suspension nerd I also was considering a progressive setup for my own car with a lower rate helper spring that would soak up the smaller bumps before engaging a stiffer front rate for roll stif...

I strongly urge people to find a true manual rack because of the bump steer we noticed with the AW11 racks when properly centering the rack. Your choices with the AW11 rack seem to be 1. Have too much angle turning left 2. Having equal steering angle but worse bump steer on oneside than the other. A...

Post pics if you can!

We pretty much don't let anyone order the fortunes from us without the bearings, they are that important.

The radial bearings are highly recommended on AE86 applications. We noticed the steering effort and feedback is improved with the radial bearings as well.

Car looks amazing man, keep up the good work.

8/6 can definitely work well if you live in an area with very smooth roads, or you spend most of your time at the track. Since FA was starting off in the Corolla application, they stuck with what was most popular. This doesn't have to just be a thread about FA though. I'd be happy to share my insigh...

I think that's part of the fun with Corollas though... that live axle will always be a handful and that's what makes these such driver's cars =D

Just want to add that I'm glad to hear there are folks that are appreciating rubber / poly bushings on their AE86's. There's a time and place for heims but they can put a lot of wear and tear on these cars, not to mention create a lot of NVH. We generally will swap out heims for rubber bushes on car...

Hey, can you re-send? I might have missed them if we were particularly busy! Or, maybe they didn't even go through..

Hi Dan, would you mind letting me know what intake hose and airbox that is? I'm after something that doesn't look modified as well for my 16V street car. I was looking at JDM MAP intakes but they seem to be hard to find here.

I have made my VVT pulley adjustable by slotting the hole in the VVT gear and flattening the dowel pin on one side. This gave me about 7 cam degrees to play with. The other issue is VVT adjustment is too much when using larger cams, would be neat to have a solution that limited total travel to about...

I should mention power is very good on my engine!

Hey guys, based on the fuel table you can see it is running out of breath way sooner than it should. With ma 7A 20V with Kelford 194-B's, large header, and some porting I'm adding the most fuel at the higher RPM range.

What is the exhaust set up?

Is this a Battle Garage kit? We have a new Alpha-N map that is available to current customers.

If so, please shoot us an email.

Also X-post from another thread: So guys, this is why it's a win-win to support vendors that are also enthusiasts for the car you drive. Not just Battle Garage, but T3, etc. We contacted Fortune Auto about this issue 2 days ago and they are already working on a fix! A spacer will be machined up and ...

Hey bud, FYI when we confirmed the perch had an issue Fortune was very fast to respond with a fix. We will be sending out out some spacers that you can use when you take the perches off next time, or use on your next car. This specifically fixes the issue you ran into! FYI best way to contact is via...

Hi Jason, not sure who you are in real life but we were just informed about this fitment issue on the OEM style fortune auto coils. If you purchased these from us, email me and we will send out a spacer that should fix the fitment issue with the perch!

Cheers,

Grant

Jondee, I appreciate the vouch, it means a lot coming from you.

Hey guys, Just wanted to quickly address this since a customer tipped me off. We have sold quite a few FA500 ae86 sets so far since this post in July and the feedback has been great. I'm not sure if this was an early unit or what, but I use these on my own daily driver/track car with a 7Kg/mm F and ...

This car has amazing engine wiring.

Good luck with the sale =)

bump for visibility

Great pricing Robert!

How do you send them? Are they in a box or just bubble wrap? I'm thinking of grabbing one.

Hi Guys, @The Bloody Panda - Not sure who you are in real life but I promise we weren't avoiding you! We had a bit of a change up in staff here and some email wasn't being seen Now all contact email is supposed to get routed right to me. If anyone has any trouble or complaints, please email me direc...

Let me know if you don't sell these. I live in NorCal but have some friends in Los Angeles area.

Thanks for your feed back. Always good to have more data samples!

BEAMS has different cylinder spacing. You could use the filter element with a blank backing plate (which we can supply) but we don't provide any finished backing plates for BEAMS yet.

Yes, it will come with the fasteners needed. Quick release of the filter element consists of proper race class DZUS 1/4 turn twist and lock fastener. We don't skimp.

But doing it right requires a pretty decent investment in filtration (those sock filters aren't cutting it - minimum ...

Hi Vasha, Unfortunately many shops don't know how difficult the OEM 20V and late 4AGE CAS are to work with so I would onyl take it to a shop that has done it before. I've heard some horror stories of people spending 3K at a shop and still not having a running car. Battle Garage will be coming out wi...
