RE: Lauren's 1985 Kouki Trueno
The plates tend to be dependent upon port, I've seen a few which are close to my reg that are out and about in the UK.
The AE86 is through the MOT, taxed and insured. Best of all we were able to drive it home without issue. We had a bit of an oil leak from the cam covers which I noticed hadn't been tightened, but that seems to be sorted now. It's now done 60kms today, don't forget the engine needs to be run in, so not gone mad with it. What's it like after a three year break? Well it's noisy, diff whine, gearbox whine, various rattles and the usual vibrations at idle, but it is thirty years old so it feels worlds apart compared to the GT86. It's feather light though, the controls are really light too, so there is something of a recalibration required after doing 70k miles in a GT86! That said it's thoroughly enjoyable and even the aircon still works. Doubtless there'll be a few snags to iron out but hopefully we'll get it sorted before undertaking longer journeys and JAE. The engine feels keen and though I've not revved it too much, looking forward to getting it on cam which is 5500rpm upwards. Here it is at RRG Toyota Macclesfield who have been simply brilliant in just taking care of a few final jobs and getting the car MOT'd and even giving it a wash after three years in storage! They really have helped me out, so thank you Richard, Gary and the team. :+: 1985 Sprinter Trueno GT Apex 2013 GT86 Miltek Exhaust, Injen Induction. |
