That's why I put the there.

But you are not aware then that British racing green makes your car faster?

[nmwisima]

Course I m aware. Yet I wanted you to point that out cause I ve never seen a BRG Ae86...

I don't think that a hachi would look good on British Racing Green.

I think that some colours fit better on some specific cars. :wink:

That's why we have Japanese Panda black/white: makes your car go even faster than British racing green! >
Oh, but you wouldn't know that of course: your hachi wasn't panda.

Some progress done here

New seats are one their way and they will judge which steering wheel i ll use, the Nardi


or the Personal

Yesterday I also fixed the broken screw of me new short shift kit

Also replaced the short shift bushing.
A new one from Beatrush Japan made from BRASS took the place of the lousy plastic one.
Even if its hard to believe, the difference is huge (especially for something that costs 20 euros only and goes in the car in 10'')
Difference is that this bushing doent bolt on the end of the gear stick, it goes inside the gearbox and then you put the stick end inside.
Shifting is now not only shorter (imagine that frome the factory an Mx5 has better shifting than a TRD SS equiped AE86) but is precise and accurate as hell.

Inside I also modified ashtray to fit bot the sound system remote control and my mobile phone (that is leather stripes in there yeah!)


And also used one air vent to put in an air-fuel ratio gauge


I ve also fixed some scratches on the body and trimmed the left headlight vent as it did hit the moss low-profile unit

And now the good part, under the hood:

Induction was off to check some belts


and since I had gathered some parts...

...I did cover the OBX header with heat insulating tape. When car was ready and I left it started making CRAZY smoke, everybody on the street thought it was on fire, yet it was just the first reaction of the unsused tape

[nmwisima]

Then I installed my new used ARC induction chamber with Samco hoses, yet kept the stock AFM and not using the RX7 one yet.


Also replaced the no-name sparc plugs with Magnecores


And finally had to change the M's induction as it moved and the hood couldnt close No Name filter in, blue of course
