Family man's ae86

[fantapants]

So in the background you can see a mates ke20

Really good condition little toy. He has some ae86 coil overs he wanted fitted. He takes pity on me and let's me okay cars on his toys lol.

So we had a few hurdles to overcome. The steering arms on these have a different spacing to the 86 stuff. So when swapping to the 86 struts we have a really long staring arm. It's like 35mm longer than stock. Not sure what impact that will have but I'm assuming a negative one lol. We might order some t3 arms... These work out to be only a few me longer than stock.

Other issue is the ball joint is smaller on the ke20. Luckily it's a perfect 1mm smaller meaning I could fab a small spacer out of some 1mm stainless sheet I have lying around. This worked really well

Supposedly the strut tops are different spacing, and I was ready to get my redrill on, but as it turns out they fitted fine :/ not sure what happened there but whatever...



I had a great success with popping the stearing arm off the ballpoint but not the central ballpoint

Got my thinkiner on and bam...







Victory was mine
