Saw the light -> My 1986 AE86 project
Hi,

so i bought LevinGT's 1986 Levin.

main welding has all been done already but the outside needs some tlc besides some minor welding around the body and fixing the underside of the doors.
so on the phone 'all day' with ppl who can make things straight and paint things like cars.
when i get the car i will drive afterwards right away to a shop that will analyse the car and give me a rough est. what i'll have to pay to get a 'new' looking Levin.
then the repaint process begins (same white color with a nice blank touch afterwards).

compression test, internal examination of the engine, new oil filter, new oil, new sparkplugs, new fuelfilter, bushings, other catback, Apex/Levin stickers for on the back when painted ... all busy with it or on it's way.

the a/f meter or the lambda is broken i think, oil temp is in F and not Celsius so those will be replaced together with the oil pressure meter.

some questions:
- how rich is the stock ecu? pig rich or moderate? stoich under cruise?
- open intake with open exhaust: dangerous for a/f or save to let's say autoX (not going to drift the car)? should i buy a piggy to be save?
- anyone experience with an oilcooler that gets and delivers the oil from/to the adapter under the oilfilter? pressure drops? temp drops and how steady under what load? 'nessesary' mod or bogus?
- anybody any idea or rough guess what the colorcode is? to many white colors i found ...

my other project is my Elford which can be seen on my homepage. and that car is going to the welder in a few weeks. that's my other project but not ae86 or piston based so i will be quiet Smile

hope to see you all on some meeting some day!

greetings from the Netherlands from a true hardcore rotorhead with a passion for the AE86 (and no, not going to put a 12A, REW or 20B in it).
