Hey Everyone my name is Beau, I'm from Sydney Australia and I'm one of the Mods on Hachiroku.com.au (no plug intended)

I've owned two 86s previous to this one. The first was a Levin Notch Back then a Levin Hatch came second, So basically all i need to do know is own a Trueno Coupe and ive owned the whole collection haha. Though i sold my previous 86's to fund my race car. But i recently got rid of it so i could get back to my love the ae86!

its basically a 1986 Kouki Trueno Hatch! One of the Irishmans Imports! So its gotta be good.

Specs:
Small Port 16valve
Tokico Front coilovers
TRD green rear shocks
Casablanca rims 14x7
Hydro handbrake
2 way LSD
Nardi Swede Wheel
Defi gauges

Other stuff but i wont bother boring you all.

I'll put more pics up tomorrow.

Plans:
Lets just say there are a few, but id like to just enjoy it for now. hehe :wink

Beau, i have one question: how do you keep water from getting into the wing? I mean, under it. I've heard that it might corrode the metal.

Pedro: Hey, well i dont know how this one has been done but normally the best way to do it is firstly getting a good qauilty wing then using blind rivets and stik-a-flex (dont know what you guys call it) but a strong water tight glue.

But reading your post again i think you think its not painted or something under the wing, as it is so that keeps the rust away.

Hope that answered your question Smile

well well. Didnt really get as much as i would have liked this weekend. But i did do more driving then anything and that was a nice change for once.

Have to say the FOX held its own, even for the fact it needs a service BAD, needs new brake fluid and pads, new rear tyres and now a new battery as i found the current one had been leaking and ripping the paint off the chassis. so that is now getting fixed up next weekend with a bit of a spot welding hit for that sucka!

But what i did do was put all the interior back in. GOD DAM that made the car quiter and nicer! i also put on those TRD spark plug leads which really do nothing other then add flavour and a cusco strut brace thanks Kev!

Come to think of it... i did fuck all, other then drive it!! Im really happy with it! and im hoping after new tyres, braided brake lines the HKS brake fluid and Mu secret pads it will be much better including giving everything a oil change and installing the PWR steer arms

ohh well enough blabbing here are some pics!!
