Roadrunners Ride

Hey Mates

After a few posts and a lot of reading finally i post my own car.

Bought my first Hachi 3 years ago and didnt really know what legendary and famous car it is! Just wanted a good looking and fun driving car. So i bought it from my toyotadealer for a good price already painted, outside fully restored and with the wheels on it. (I wouldnt choose this color) but all in all the car was in a good condition.

In the same time i get an offer for a totaly rusted hachi for 130 Euro. Of course i took it and striped it totaly out. If i got some time it will become a full racecar! Thumbsup

I striped the golden one out as well and found some more rust. Weldet it and painted it black gloss.
Front part changed fully from blue interior to black from the white hachi. Installed a rollcage, sparco seats and belts.

Pelletblasted the rear axle and fitted it with urethan bushes.
Installed Koni dampers, latteral rod, airfilter, hks exhaust and new backlights.

Next will be the front bushing and whole engine rebuild, better brakes and stainless brakelines.

But winter is over and now its time to use this what its made for! Cheerleader

hy guys

Thanks for the compliments...

The way to the perfect car is also the target not only the driving. But its so much fun to drive it, i've never driven something similar!

@oldschool
Yes, Airfilter is from speedindustries. Very good and friendly contact and perfect conditions!
But u will need an adapter for the afm. Its not expensiv... just a bit of metall. I made myone customized because the shipping is almost 5 times more expensiv the the adapter. Stupid

I was also on the dyno at the speedindustries Nordschleife Trackday.
As i said, engine is still stock. But many drivers couldnt believe it has just 122 hp and 96 on the rear wheels.
So its not all about power!

AH ok.. that make me more clear.
I just need that adapter for my car. Is that easy to make one?

I wish my car is ready before easter. Sad

I hope next year I can be there

@oldskull

If youre not able to do any metalwork somewhere, it might be easier to order it. Otherwise its not dificult to do it by yourself.
How far are you with your car? I think i wont be at the ring next year. Would be nice to drive some rounds with you. Thumbsup

My car would be ready around may/june I hope. We are busy with some primer now and few rusts must be fixed and then we are ready to paint it. after that we going slowly fix some underneath the car. No big rusts underneath just need some rust protections.

BTW about the adapter, I dont need it now because I need to settle the car first Puh

We will see.
