RE: Lauren's 1985 Kouki Trueno
Okay, finally got the car out of the container and got some insurance, which it hasn't had for three years!
It was a bit tricky getting it out of the container as the clutch had seized on. So we managed to roll it out, without too much trouble, but slightly scraped some underseal off the chassis rails. That can be fixed I think. I gave the clutch a go using the starter motor in first gear. That got it free'd off pretty quick and then we drove it around the yard a few times testing the brakes etc: AE86 lives by Lauren Blighton, on Flickr 20 litres of V power went in and then I drove it to RRG Macc' with Mark following in the Yaris full of tools! The car drove fine, well, it drove like a thirty year old car, which always takes a bit of getting used to. Thankfully the aircon still blows cold, which was nice and everything worked. We got it up onto the ramps at RRG in an attempt to fix the exhaust leak where the manifold joins to the cat: AE86 lives by Lauren Blighton, on Flickr Alas, despite Mark taking ages to cut a gasket, it still leaked and being aware that Richard at RRG had already done us a massive favour we agreed to leave it with him to address the exhaust leak and do a few other minor things. It needs a rear foglight fitting for the MOT and the washer bottle refitting once a new seal has been fitted where the motor sits in the washer bottle. The advantage of being at RRG was that Paul and Dave were to hand and quickly identified that they could still get a seal for the bottle motor and also hopefully for the exhaust.

All will be revealed over the next few days I suspect! 1985 Sprinter Trueno GT Apex 2013 GT86 Miltek Exhaust, Injen Induction. |
