86er's Track rebuild N2.??? Finally an update page 8

[86er]

lol Thanks to Kaiju been meaning to come and update been so tired and busy just trying to get the car running

So onward and forward, you are going to be seein this guy a lot he is the master fabricator that builds it all



Once we got her in we felt good but still tons to do


floating on stock sus,


at one point in time I was going to use the trueno front end which i had acquired minus a bumper, but I was influenced to stick with the levin front, the current aero package would be based on a CBY, with a little help from skyrider I was able to get a copy of his cby flares and he loaned me some wheels to fit up the front coilovers. We used ohlins from a DC5 with 86 spindles at bottom, once we worked out strut heights we pulled down the front shocks and did needed modifications to the cases










the steering works off top of strut in the dc5 and we kept that as the new engine location required relocating steering

car on ground well the front at relative height, still only had 2 wheels and rear coils were on as yet



Now the best part of the CBY kit for me was the front bumper, it always seemed to be one of the most functional bumpers for the 86 to me, one large opening for coolers to convenient ducts for cooling brakes and a nice front lip reminiscent of the trd n2 lip, also it keeps the lines of car, a nice starting point. So i had it made locally

back on 13s for now, bumper on its way







its hard to move around in here



wow its low on 13s, but alot of work still top be done on rear suspension


intake acquired, 20v bt itbs with proper 50mm stacks



an idea of seating position with help from kaiju. The shiter now ends up back where handbrake normally is so this meaint moving back, I didnt mind it was all part of the plan, to help centralize weight distribution. Im kinda fleshing out details as we go along, no outright mod list at the beginning of this thread update.



The completed bumper





This front duct is a key part of aero/air flow package, more on that later



onto gearbox mounts
