Alfa twin spark







A Renault "841/843/807" take your pick. The key here is we are taking the 83hp 1565 engine, and modifying the head to Gordini spec, run bigger valves, and upgraded dual springs, the goal is roughly 110-120hp









to this...




And an older "Nord" type 1750 Alfa head.

The main goal of the plan was this sort of stuff:



But i won't bore you guys too much with that.

One a day off i planned a little route in the Nagoya area.
This is where Toyota builds it's cars, and where the museums are.

And also:


Look at my very cool rental car, blocking the view of the AE86s ...

Really nice guy, nice oldschool shop. Tried to buy some parts, but he didn't have them in stock, sadly.
Did find something Ivan141 could use for his car, so bought that.





In the end, after some talking via Google Translate, he asked me to come outside for a picture. So i did!

---

Also saw this gem at the Toyota Automobile Museum, beautiful car, and the first time i've seen a rotating grille on an actual car!




When i was in the Tokyo area, I went to Daikoku Futo, but didn't see an AE86 there, and the one i spotted driving on the street, i was to late with my camera, sadly.



But a cool trip in the end! I very much enjoyed my time in Japan!

What is it? Basically a proxy service that allow you to see, and bid in real time on Yahoo Auction Japan, with some limitation.

How does it work? You just have to visit Jauce.com and you can immediatly start to search for item on Yahoo Auction Japan, Rakuten, Amazon JP, Yahoo JP Shopping and Jauce store. As for now i've only used the service for Yahoo Auction. You don't have to register in order to just watch the auction. For the registration you can create a dedicated account or sing in with your Google account or even Facebook, Twitter and PayPal.

Here is an example of how you see the auction page:



In the first picture is the main interface that allow you to look at item picture, see how the time left, if there are already bid on the item (and the amount), add to the watch list and place the bid in almost real time. Keep in mind that the site it's not very fast, and often time the page and the operation take some time to load, we talk about 10 seconds max, not crazy stuff but relatively slow with today internet connection.

If you want to place a bid, the first thing you should do is add some money to the account. This can be made from the "Make a deposit" button in your account page, or when you click on the "Place a Bid" button and don't have enough money. It will let you deposit the money and return to the auction page. You can use PayPal as payment method, and you have some unused money on the Jauce account you can get it back always on PayPal. As stated above, the PayPal transiction and specially the bidding could take some time, just be patience.

Once you placed the bid you just have to wait to the end on the auction. Be aware of the auction with the time extension. If you want Jauce also offer a "Snipe bid" that basically place the bid before the last five minute of the auction, but i found out that it's not very effective, at least on AE86 related stuff.

You will find often some items with the "Junk" banner or that are blocked.
For the junk item, it's just the system that if detect the junk word in the description will warn you, but the seller often use the junk word to not have complaint since the item are used.
The blocked auction are another thing. An auction can be blocked for several reason like, too big to be posted, item may not be shipped (like airbag unit that are too expensive) or simply an error of the automatic system. You can request to unblock the auction and if the item it's small or was a system error they would unlock with no question. If it is a big item they could ask you an estimate on the dimension and weight, just so you don't have a bad surprise when it come to pay for the shipping.

You won the auction! Now what? They will charge you some fee for winning the auction (but i think it's a proper tax in Japan, it's not the site), and the item will be shipped to the Jauce warehouse and keep in store for 60 days for free (you can extend the storage with a small fee). When the item arrive they will also charge you for the shipping fee from the seller to the warehouse. You can go negative with the balance, it's not a problem for them and you can pay everything with one last final deposit when you book the international shipping.

In every steps of the process you will receive email like, if someone outbid you, when you are the highest bidder, when you have won the auction, when the item arrive to the warehouse.

Jauce offer basically two kind of international shipping, the fast and pricey one with DHL and the cheapest and slower one with surface shipping.
As today i've used for 3 times DHL and one surface shipping (for a door card)
In the shipping page you can select what item ship with an estimate of the cost of both kind of shipment. If you send only small item the estimate it's pretty accurate, in case of big item it can change a lot.
They also offer the "Smart packing" option the let ship multiple item toghete saving space and money. Another great feature is that you can adjust the invoice amount as you prefer, reducing by a lot the exportation tax for your country.
A couple of example of the cost:

Door card (1000 yen) with surface shipping around 50-60 euros + the custom fee that i have not received yet.

Transmission mount+metal support, a couple of little plastic piece (foot rest piece) shipped withi DHL, around 60-70 euro, + custom fee to be added.

I've shipped also two rear quarter hatch glass, they both arrived in perfect condition, but the shipment was very pricey, around 250 euro.
Jauce have top notch service regarding packing stuff, no complaint at all.

For now i'm pretty satisfied with the service, and i was able to retrieve some good offer for little money, but i'd advise to use this service mostly for small parts, since for bigger parts it can turn out in a bad experience on the money side.

Let me know if you have any question or you if want more detail about the service!

It's seems similarly fun as the GR Yaris but a bit more practical with the 4 doors and slightly longer size.

There's no price tag just yet from what I could find but I guess it'll be slightly more expensive than the Yaris.

Personally I'm very intrigued by both models as well as the new Z for that matter but either will remain a dream considering I have too many cars half way around the globe as it is already and I can't really justify buying a car here as I live downtown and traffic is amongst the worst in the world.

Anyway I do like the direction Mr. Toyoda is going for even if I think it very well might be kind of a farewell present to all the petrol enthusiasts before leaving it all behind.]]>

Now a VPN is necessary then. Does anyone have a solution that doesn't involve a VPN?




No more models can be added to the already ridiculous collection, I was hoping to find 2 more before I stopped collecting too.

I recently acquired a Sun exhaust gas analyser. Its a useful piece of equipment, but its locked and must be recalibrated. The recalibration is supposed to be done annually by someone from Sun or else the unit just does absolutely nothing, but Sun will no longer service my analyser as its too old. I therefore have a very expensive paperweight unless I can get the machine calibrated, and there doesn't seem to be anyone in the UK who still has the tools to service my unit.

However, I've noticed that Marktplaatz.nl seems to always have a few of these exact analysers listed, and many of them have been unlocked so that the annual calibration is not necessary. I'm guessing that there's still someone in The Netherlands who can still service and unlock my gas analyser and since so many people on here have old cars, can anyone point me in the direction of someone in the Netherlands (or anywhere) who has any experience with Sun gas analysers?

Here's an example of what I keep seeing: Gas Analyzer on Marktplaatz

I've had a look around various forums and there seems to be very few of these units in the UK now, so I'm not expecting to ever get the unit unlocked, but its worth trying. I'm happy to ship the analyser overseas if necessary.

I'm even happy to pay for someone to give me the firmware and I'll just get the EPROMS reprogrammed locally if that's what it takes, but there's no way I'm throwing my analyser in the trash.]]>

I'm guessing that there's still someone in The Netherlands who can still service and unlock my gas analyser and since so many people on here have old cars, can anyone point me in the direction of someone in the Netherlands (or anywhere) who has any experience with Sun gas analysers?

Here's an example of what I keep seeing: Gas Analyzer on Marktplaatz

I've had a look around various forums and there seems to be very few of these units in the UK now, so I'm not expecting to ever get the unit unlocked, but its worth trying. I'm happy to ship the analyser overseas if necessary.

I'm even happy to pay for someone to give me the firmware and I'll just get the EPROMS reprogrammed locally if that's what it takes, but there's no way I'm throwing my analyser in the trash.]]> https://www.aeu86.org/forum/Thread-Hachiko-roku-the-drift-dog Sat, 16 May 2020 20:33:49 +0000 https://www.aeu86.org/forum/Thread-Hachiko-roku-the-drift-dog
Hachiko-roku the drift dog!

Apparently a twitter video of a dog running sideways next to an irrigation channel on a mountain pass went viral. Naturally it didn't take look before this created many Initial D related memes like the added manga style lines above or this one:

This is a dogfight!

The way its going, I have to wonder if the Fallout games are going to become a reality, with everyone living in bunkers and trading caps to survive. The shops here are empty already and areas that are normally busy are just dead. It seems strange seeing people walk around town with masks on too, but its good to see considerate people I suppose.

Anyone else seeing their lives changed yet?]]>

Has anyone here been? What was it like?

I hope that if anyone here has visited Japan then they can share some stories and advice for those who also want to visit. A former colleague of mine visited and told me that you don't see any tuned Skylines and Supras during the daytime, but they all mysteriously congregate at night somehow.]]>

Did anyone here browse AE86 parts on Yahoo Auctions back in 2004?
If so you may have seen a hilarious guy a few times, maybe he's well known in Japan.



Do any of the 4 or 5 active users on here remember that guy?
Is he still around somewhere?]]>

As much as I enjoy driving sometimes, the process can be stressful when the roads are busy and I would love to be able to just jump in the car and carry on working on my laptop while the car drives itself. I can see a few problems that need to be overcome in order for the system to consistently work, such as dealing with bad weather. But due to the idiocy I have to contend with during my commute, I would be happy to let the car drive itself.

If someone makes a commercially available driverless car then there's the possibility of professional drivers losing their jobs and that is certainly a bad thing. Maybe there could be new jobs created as a result of driverless systems? I don't know what the new jobs would be, but nobody could foresee the new jobs created by the internet either.

What does everyone else think?

So where is everyone now?

I obviously took a break from here due to selling my 86, I know that a few other users moved on from the scene (including JonT sadly). But the car has never been more popular so I would expect this forum to be busy. What happened?]]>
