Koen's 86 - every drive a new issue

[Koen]

Well, it's been a bit quiet in the AE86 department due to busy times at work. I did manage to source some parts and prepare more modifications.

Banpei has tried to help me a lot with getting the original EPC (data), but it gets more and more difficult to run old software. So I decided to just give it a shot and use what is available on the internet.

I filled in the form to report an error in my registration. I've added a screenshot of the online EPC, the production data of this website, a link to the GR Heritage page and a reference to appendix II, artikel 5 of the Dutch vehicle regulations. Those regulations state if it's not clear on which date (month/year) the car was first registered, the date should be set to the 28th of February of the model year of the car (which was in the Swedish papers)


As you can see, they did that! So I'm very happy. I guess a bit of luck was also involved

I've moved the car to an area with a bit more room and put it on jack stands to take it apart again (drove a whole 5km already )

It got quite dusty in the mean time. Suspension is off, gearbox is out and I found some local made coilovers which will be fitted along with new arms, hubs, bearings etcetera
