Re: Project AE86 aka the never ending project
Oh booooooooooyyyyyyyyyyy, can't wait for paint!! What kind of pearl paint? -w-
Re: Project AE86 aka the never ending project
I made a one off pearl paint code, for a single stage paint job since I am sure I will smash this car up a bit tracking it. So why spend a ton on paint right? The paint code is based off a mitsubishi color with some of the paint code removed from it. I could post the formula is some one wants it.
This is just the super cheap $1 white spray can from Homedepo lol

Re: Project AE86 aka the never ending project
Got some goodies, worked a 16hr shift last night, got off 130am went to pic up a GTS gas tank (thanks johnathan!! seriously cool guy!!!!) started test fitting the nissan sending unit in the tank, i am going to have to make an adapter or have a welding shop put one in for me, but this is on it s way!
I also picked up some stuff to make a camera rig, that will mount to the car. cost less the 100 bucks and has highend suction cups, go pro mounts, aluminum square stock, and folds down!!! I bought a bunch of homedepo 99 cent paint too hahhahahaha
I Definitely got some work done today! Started masking off the car

Re: Project AE86 aka the never ending project
Pearl and white plasti dipped my Mirrors as "test attempt" before I do my CF doors to match the panda paint theme. Turned out pretty good. It is very weird stuff, the first time I tried applying plasti dip it did not turn out so well... u lay it down totally different then real paint. I used the pearl plasti dip on my trim to test it out, and see if it will work on the rest of the car, seemed to work

Re: Project AE86 aka the never ending project
Made a little Intro Video
https://vimeo.com/85890891
Plasti dip fail... I dont know what is up with this stuff.... I used to really hate it, looks funky, seems cheap... But when done right it can look pretty decent. But it seems to be the luck of the draw whether it will turnout or not... I am giving it one more chance. I am Not too happy with the first coat of plasti dip... looks uneven, had a few runs... just all around shitty... I will order 2 more cans and re attempt this. After that I am Over plasti Dip forever.

Re: Project AE86 aka the never ending project
Plast dip is weird stuff. My brother bought dipped wheels and it doesn't come off as easy as they make it seem in their vids.
FLAWLESS VICTORY
Re: Project AE86 aka the never ending project
it was not too bad to take off, just time consuming. Over-spray I just used my finger and rubbed it all off, same with on the thinner coated areas.
But if you put it on thick or just add multiple coats it pulls off easy. I still am not a fan of it. but hey it works for this little track car, for now.

Re: Project AE86 aka the never ending project
F*%K getting the ebrake handle of was a HUGE PITA! It did not want to budge, ended up cutting it down the center to remove it lol!
20140218_130407 by marley4us1985, on Flickr
20140218_130413 by marley4us1985, on Flickr
So I wanted to make a push button for my wooden ebrake handle.
took a 11/16 bit to drill the hole for the ebrake to slip on
20140218_130430 by marley4us1985, on Flickr
Hole drilled
20140218_130436 by marley4us1985, on Flickr
and a 5/8 for the button
20140218_130826 by marley4us1985, on Flickr
got a slighter larger rod then the 5/8's
20140218_131319 by marley4us1985, on Flickr
Cut it down to the size I would need for the botton to work, this may take a couple of tries to get perfect. so cut it long and trim down
20140218_131801 by marley4us1985, on Flickr
Used my dremel to cut the rod to shop, but it always leaves burn markes
20140218_131805 by marley4us1985, on Flickr
Sanded the burn markes out, and smoothed the edges
20140218_131955 by marley4us1985, on Flickr
Use a wood screw in the end of the dowel, and cut the head off. I tried a nail at first and it slips off too easy, sorry the pic should have been with the wood screw
20140218_132205 by marley4us1985, on Flickr
Clamped it to the drill!!
20140218_132227 by marley4us1985, on Flickr
Sand down the tip of the dowel so you can slid it through your 5/8 hole, but the bigger portion of dowel stops if from falling out
20140218_132238 by marley4us1985, on Flickr
Like this
20140218_133128 by marley4us1985, on Flickr
Then stain it to match your other wood items!
20140218_140538 by marley4us1985, on Flickr
20140218_140638 by marley4us1985, on Flickr
a little clear to make it look shinny
20140218_141302 by marley4us1985, on Flickr
All done with wooden button and all

Used my dremel to cut the rod to shop, but it always leaves burn markes
20140218_131805 by marley4us1985, on Flickr
Sanded the burn markes out, and smoothed the edges

Use a wood screw in the end of the dowel, and cut the head off. I tried a nail at first and it slips off too easy, sorry the pic should have been with the wood screw
20140218_132205 by marley4us1985, on Flickr
Clamped it to the drill!!

Sand down the tip of the dowel so you can slid it through your 5/8 hole, but the bigger portion of dowel stops if from falling out

Like this
20140218_133128 by marley4us1985, on Flickr
Then stain it to match your other wood items!

a little clear to make it look shinny

All done with wooden button and all

(ps the ebrake is bent to the side cause I have a SR20det motor and trans otherwise there would be interference with the shifter)

Re: Project AE86 aka the never ending project
So far so good Mr. Anderson!
I cannot wait to see this beast finished.
I'm glad you've taken good care of those Redlines. Clearly I sold it to the right 86er.
I'm so proud! *sniff *sniff

Re: Project AE86 aka the never ending project
Thanks, I still need to LED convert them.... but I am scarred hahahah They are so clean I dont want to mess with them!
I also made this, just for shits and giggles
sword ebrake with sapporo shifter!

with my buddies help I got the 50mm RCA's in, just needed a extra hand to help push down the control arms.

I also painted the rear bumper to match the car.

Re: Project AE86 aka the never ending project
Well my first attempt at redline LED tails kinda failed... one of the boards sagged, and it made it look all crappy, so I had to pull them, and try to remount it so it looks good....
but this is how they turned out so far.

I pulled the boards out, and reglued them, hope they look better tomorrow when the glue cures. I also started working on the reverse lights and blinkers.

Not sure I like the turn signal so I may pull it out, and just but a LED board.

Re: Project AE86 aka the never ending project
Here is some info to help others do LED tails for them self
After you have your tails apart and mounted the leds, here comes the wiring.
Supplies:
Crimper
wire cutter
Diodes 3amp 50piv
resistors 220ohm
male bulb with 3 wires
IMG_0907 by marley4us1985, on Flickr
IMG_0908 by marley4us1985, on Flickr
IMG_0909 by marley4us1985, on Flickr
here is a pic of it wired up for high and low beam
IMG_0912 by marley4us1985, on Flickr
take the two power wires, for high and low beam. put Diodes on the (make sure to have them facing the direction you want the current to flow)
IMG_0913 by marley4us1985, on Flickr
On the low beam wire, put a resistor on it.
Connect highbeam to high beam
low beam to low beam
and ground to ground.
Boom your done
Some pics playing with the track rims I have laying around

Re: Project AE86 aka the never ending project
My bday is coming, and I got myself a few things:
Oil cooler
20140321_152054 by marley4us1985, on Flickr
2200cc injectors for my mr2, and a new tune on E85
I am still waiting for some other random little things to come in too
20140321_152644 by marley4us1985, on Flickr
I got to figure out where is the best place to mount this thing lol

Re: Project AE86 aka the never ending project
Not a much has gotten done to the ae86. But the MR2 is almost done with my fuel revamp!
Got the Car at Agressive Performance, Sue is taking good care of my baby, there is even another widebody to keep mine company they meet in Socal befoer hehehe
Injector Dynamics 2200cc (210 pound) Topfeed injectors
Getting a Walbro 416 installed, Larger Return lines, and Tunning!
Giving a walbro 255 to my buddy xene for his Alltrack! since I wont need em anymore.
Also I finished my Tirerack, painted it, and threw on some stickers I had laying around from my car builds.

Re: Project AE86 aka the never ending project
got the 50mm rca's in, but just noticed they where rubbing a little on my control arms onto my rotor... Fudge!!! so I "rolled the edge of the control arm a bit so I would have clearance! what a Pain in the ass...
Replaced my back wheel stud, since one of the threads was messed up
swapped over to my Konig- Watanabe replica rims.
Put the side skirts back on, front bumper, rear bumper etc.
Man am I tired, but now I can make room for my buddies 71 Elcamino and we can put together his 454
