Awesome job dude. The little details make all the difference!

How dare you rid of the sh*tty old car smell?!?

Sorry to resurrect a dead thread but I stumbled across it while searching the site for something and had to reply. I just thought I would respond to add some positivity to this thread too. I'm a early 20s 86 owner that semi-recently purchased a 85 zenki coupe and am super thrilled to be a part of t...

This is so sick, dude.

Jesus Christ ...

Why do I have to be a broke-ass college student?!

Is that a legitimate website where people buy cars from?

I remember after I sold my Silvia S13, a year later I came across an add on the internet on some random "unique cars for sale" website with my car on there. They used my pictures/info from my craigslist ad and everything Lol.

Hmm, I can't recall exactly. About 2 inches at most. Maybe an inch and a half. I already installed my new rear coolant neck (yay)

Dope. That shouldn't be too bad then.

Thanks dude!

Can anyone tell me why this is happening: http://i64.tinypic.com/2qjvtc5.jpg Kind of a random question, but how long are those two bolts? Holding the plate onto the head? I have a bad coolant leak back there, and I don't think they've ever been taken off before so I'm anticipating on them snapping....

Dude those calipers look sick. Any thought on wheel choice later on down the road? Or are you going to stick with the Konig Rewinds?

I feel like you'd gotta get some wheels that are a little more open to show that stuff off. TE37s would look good

You should post up pictures of your car more often!!

By the way, did you find out if there was a common ground between the three readouts? Thats another reason why I decided to take the cluster apart. Out of that list you posted there's only 4 ground wires; 16, 26, 19, and 3. Everything else works fine so I was hoping I could at least trace which one...

Is there some reason I cannot find Japan service manuals on internet queries? Thanks for the info/link! That definitely helped out a lot. I doubt you can find Japanese service manuals on this cluster because it was a super rare option. The digital dash was a Zenki Levin GT-Apex option only. I got c...

Holy fack dude. That's awesome. I've never even heard of Haggerty TBH. It sounds like it would be obtainable, but would take a lot of work. I'm glad it worked out for you though! And I was Navy for 6 years. Good times, some bad, but miss those days. Always something to do! Plus I got to go to Asia ...

https://i.imgur.com/Gmid9A0.png If you paid attention in your physics classes, you will know that acceleration = dV/dT so the RPM trace is essentially also indicating how the vehicle accelerated. In this case it is virtually a straight line, which says it pulls steady without any dropoff up to the ...

Ouch ... Yeah, I know the feeling. I remember pretty much destroying my bedroom after my 00 SI got rear ended. I didn't have a loan or anything but I spent all my money I saved while in Basic/AIT on it, aka too much cash for a 19 year old Lol. The agreed value thing was pretty interesting. I think I...

My entire childhood pretty much revolved around Gran Turismo and GTA. I blame Vice City for my love for everything 80s Lol. And my car is insured through Hagerty. Its not necessarily full coverage, but liability at an agreed value. In my case, its insured for $17k. Set aside it not being full covera...

SO sick dude.

A little off subject, but whenever I'm in the market for wheels, I use this website a lot. I'm more of a visual type of guy.

How did things work out man? This weather and the holidays makes things so boring! The dude came Wednesday evening and it worked like a charm! https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4647/27741355059_ee667b444e_b.jpg I then spent Thursday morning/afternoon putting her back together, burped the coolant syste...

Next time, make sure you use a penetrating solution and let it soak overnight on ALL bolts you plan on messing with. Also, from my experience, water pump, crank, any lower engine or "hard to reach" bolts will give you trouble. If it's an iron block, you could just warm it up before you me...

Well fellas, I just opened my first can of worms. Good thing I decided to do this job during my winter break Lol. At this point I'm just bored in the garage with nothing else to do. I snapped a bolt on the upper water outlet when removing the waterpump. Easy out didn't work, blowtorch didn't work, s...

Jondee, you are the epitome of that saying "knowledge is power" Lol.

He says with a mint one-color Levin :) Two different kinds of charm homie! Its like, there's girls out there you would introduce to your parents, and then there's girls you wouldn't, which occasionally are more fun sometimes. For example that Noriyaro guy on Youtube: https://farm5.staticflickr.com/...

Then I need to figure out what she's gonna get painted.

I vote no paint Treat the rust spots on the chassis (if any) and then save the rest for go-fast parts

There's just something about a worn AE86 with its battlescars thats so sexy.

CloudStrife, idk if you follow Japanese Nostalgic Car at all but I saw this article today and I thought of you, since you're a Cusco slut Lol.

Do you like to fry your brain?? No but seriously, that is awesome. EE is hard enough, I can't imagine going around easy electives to take a rest with, and then, just, you know, signing up for a hard minor too :) It's actually kind of the opposite! All classes needed for a math minor are already inc...

CloudStrife wrote:Oh right on man, what's your major? EE?

Just remember, once you pass the class you can just memory dump everything hehe.

Yes sir, EE with a minor in Math.

CloudStrife wrote:You lazy slut, what you been doing?

Finals week homie! Hell, I feel like a slut with how badly ive been getting shafted by these exams Lol.

I only have one exam left, and then I'm off until the second week of January so I'm going to do my little overhaul during winter break.
