Re: Eric's Free SR5

Oh and my old Corolla is on Atlanta Craigslist for 4100 OBO and says it's a built AE86 lol. Haha it's a REbuilt engine lolzzz. Also the kid painted it black. And he's parting it out I think. He sold the carb setup on Club4ag Facebook page to a friend of mine on 4AC Powered. Whatever.

Re: Eric's Free SR5

This thing was really a death trap when I got it. Brakes are great now. The rear lights are hacked and almost all out, gotta...

Re: 4AGE 16V SIDEDRAFT CARB CONVERSION

Yes use that diagram for 4AC to carb'd 4AGE swap. It's easy as crap right there. Even the arch adapter part number is correct and active so your tach will still work.

Re: fuel return lines for carb

Capping mine built a lot of vacuum pressure in the tank. I never got around to making a rollover vent before I sold the car.

Re: lightweight wheels

Re: lightweight wheels

The quality of the test wheels has no bearing on the focus of the test. The test was whether a lightweight wheel os faster aroubd the track than a heavier wheel. The wheel brand and quality is not important at all. Only the wheels' weight is important in the tests. The test easily could have been fo...

Re: Possible engine swaps cheap and good.?

Original poster kid: forget the 86 and buy a Miata. You will actually get to learn how to drive it instead of spending all your free time fixing the AE86 that some fanboy trashed trying to make it a super fabulous driftah.

Re: daily driving with itb's

Just look at the picture i posted above of my old engine bay. I opened the hood and there are some leaves laying on the filter. No filter means that trash could easily get sucked into the motor. I worked way too hard on that damn trashcan to have it suck up crap and die so easy.

I used a big Ram Air filter and plate off eBay. Pretty sure it was for a BMW 2002 you have to measure the distance from intake #2 to #3 to find what plate you need. The clips were installed facing the wrong way so I pressed them out, IN welded some threaded studs in the filter, and used 3 wing nuts ...
