Blaze's AE86

Congratulations, that looks stunning!
It reminds me that I still have to do my rear seat covers. I've been very busy lately with everything but the AE86.

Oh, yeah, that's how it normally goes! I've been meaning to service my rear brakes and investigate a high idle issue since two months...

A quick update:
- the weird noise from the engine it was not a timing issue, but it was actually running only three cylinder After a quick troubleshooting find out that the injector connector on cylinder 1 had the contact a bit loose, so a quick fix!
- After the quick ride, the parking brake was working very well. I tried to put the original cable on and was weak again. Put the Celice cable back on and still weak. Could it be that to make the auto adjuster in the caliper work correctly you have to brake a few times while driving and the adjust the nut on the lever? Otherwise i am bit lost ahaha

Anyway, next tuesday will try my luck with TÜV inspection, and if all goes well by the end of the month it will finally be road legal

The auto adjust works on the braking action from either the pedal or the handbrake lever (depending on the car), so yes, that could very well be the fact.
