My 2 Hachi Rokus

[Girodisc]

This Project was the last project I did at the Tech College. It was an 87 Corolla GTS or AE86 as some know it as and I bought it to serve as a fun daily driver because after I finished my Subaru I didn’t want to drive it all the time. About 3 months after I bought it it blue a headgasket and upon tacking off the head we found that the honing inside the block was polished smooth so it looked like I would be rebuilding the block. I wanted to get more into the internals of the motor and this was my first N/A car that I really had the chance to modify. So while the engine was being built I took it upon myself to try some custom metal fabrication for my last school project. I had a friend that ran a JDM engine import shop and frequently brought in Subaru STi font clips so I asked him if I could have the fenders from a couple of his clips so he sent me 4 of the nicest fenders he had. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on this car so I bought a $450 body kits off ebay because I figured I could fix it if fit like crap. I got some $350 wheels and started on my project. I took the 4 front fenders I got from my friend and cut the flares off and then welded them to the Corolla and made a poor-mans widebody. I use the metal brake to fabricate vents for both the fenders and the hood as well as welded the body line and passenger door handle. Everything done to the car was done in metal except for the body kit. I painted it a mixed formula of messed up forest green colors from the local autobody supply store and added a color shifting pearl. Total the entire exterior job cost under $1000 including the wheels/ tires. We got the engine back and it ran very strong for a while until it started burning oil which led to catastrophic failure of the motor. Turned out the guy who built my motor used standard rings on 30 overbore pistons and the oil was just passing on though. I still have this car but I am waiting till spring to put it back together with a new engine I got from another project.

This is a project I started to turn and sell because it came with an extra engine so not only would it make me a running car to sell but also give me another motor to fix my other AE86. While in the middle of assembling the motor I god a call from the head of car club I am in (Team Exotic) and he was ask by HIN to try and have a drift car to help promote drifting in the US. He asked me if I could have something for him. I had 1 ½ months to get a stock car up to par to shw at HID so I said I would try. The car I bought was much more of a drift car then car I had so I decided to use parts from both cars to make something in time for the show. I got some origin fenders from Raceon which didn’t fit very well but I made them work and started taking everything I could from both cars as well as some stuff I had laying around to make this drift car. The night before the show I stayed up for 36hr strait to get the engine in and working and painted for the show only to find out that the engine had no compression in one of the cylinders so I couldn’t get it to run well enough to make the trip to Seattle. So we missed the show and this is what came out of it.

[SMG]

Johann, when did you make it out for cellblock, and which one?

[Girodisc]

I have not been to cellblock.

Johann @ Girodisc

[Girodisc]

Okay little update:

The white car after fighting me so long with this engine nonsense its going in a different direction. Was going to rebuild the High Comp 4age but its looks like its just not going to be cost effective so a buddy of mine is trading parts for some labor I did for him.

So for me since we already made the mounts and some of the hoses it should be a pretty strait forward bolt on. Need to modify the header, and exhaust and, mount in the intercooler, fab the intercooler piping and do a little wiring but I'll have everything posted up as I make progress. Lots of HP here I come!

[Backwoodz Tuner]

Damn those cars are SICK! That work you did on those custom wide body kit fenders looks tight. Good work man. Welcome to the forum. Glad you joined up!

[Girodisc]

The green car's wrx fender flares I did yes. The white ones I bought and molded on.

[Backwoodz Tuner]

[realchaos1]

Please come to the Pho & Bubble Tea meet this saturday... gotta support rwd love.

[Girodisc]

what rear end are you using?

[Girodisc]

Its currently got a welded 84 Supra rear end but I need to find a new diff because I really don't want a welded diff, its unsafe. I was think to swap my stock rear end back in but I don't think it can handle the power. I haven't gotten that far yet but it looks like I'll be keeping the supra rear end in and trying to find a diff to swap.

Anyways PICS!!!!

The fuel system is finished. The Wring its started we are just setting up the wiring and then we will clean it up when we are finished. Got a good shot of the car but as you can see its missing some stuff. I'll have it all back on this weekend. BOV is going on the passenger side on that elbow I just need to to weld it on. Started the Radiator hoses and mounted the fuel filter. Wanted them to match the style of the intercooler pipes. Only thing that should be left to do by next week is the wiring so I should be able to fire this up the fallowing weekend.

Johann

[Backwoodz Tuner]

Damn man looks like a lot of hard work and dedication. Shit looks tight man.

[SW-21turbo]

^^agreed man thats awsome..Looks tight also

[Girodisc]

We have a laser etcher at work so I can etch and cut acrylic so I am going to us it to make my dash cluster. I have a tone of LEDs so I am making a sort of black face dash. Above is how it will look in the day and below it hos it will look lit up. I should have the acrylic Monday so I should have the cluster done by next week. I used all Autometer Phantom Gauges w/ Blue LED Wedge Bulbs.

Let me know what you think:

http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x223/badwagon/ae86dash-1.jpg

[Backwoodz Tuner]

IMO that will look tight , custom shit is the best if done up the right way, and so far you seem to have an eye for that. Your ride is gonna be sick ass fuck when complete , shit it is, as it sits right now lol!

[Girodisc]

Got a lot done this weekend. Got all my parts from paint back and on the car. Got everything in the engine bay finished up and got to roll it outside for some nice pics. Camera wasn't the best but I'll have more when its done. All we got it wiring left and I hope to have it done in a couple weeks tops.

I think I need some camber plates though:

[gustav129]

Sweet cars. I want to own an AE86 someday....

[Girodisc]

Got some pics of the intercooler ducting, more shots of the engine w/ my new custom filler neck I made.

Got the new starter in and its working but we have a couple wires messed up so we couldn't start it. We will have them fixed to night to start it. Fuel system has been checked and is working great. Should be on the road in a couple days yay!

On with pics (sorry for the dirtyness I will be detailing it as soon as we are done working on it).

[Backwoodz Tuner]

Damn dude that's some bad ass custom work! That's shits off the hook. Those ebay and interior shots are magazine worthy shit!

[Gsolo]

Both cars are killer! I am absolutely digging the green fenders!! I want to that now, but then i'd be a copycat :(

[Girodisc]

They are AE86s, who cares! Every AE is different even if they are built to look the same, usually one of them runs like crap haha.

I have some better pics, my ignitor chip was bad and I am still waiting for the new one to come in. In the mean time I POR15s the underside of of the car and cleaned up all my suspension. Got some new parts for it on the way.

Camber Plates
Tension Rods
Inner Tie Rods
Outer Ti Rods
Traction Brackets
New Rack Boots
Some Bushings

I'll have installed pics when they get here.

Johann

[tunerfreak87]

Your AE is badass dude.

[Ty]

We have nicknamed it the "Homorolla" because it's being such a whore and not running.

[Girodisc]

Says the douche with a multi piece flywheel.....:mrgreen:

[Girodisc]

The "Homorolla" :cry: fired last night and is ticking like a 75 yr old man with multiple sclerosis and loose dentures trying to eat soup with a spoon that's to big for his mouth.

I have determined that the hydrolic lifters need to be cleaned and opened up and it will go away. I guess its a common issue with older SR20 motors. So tonight I pull the cams, and clean them out so hopefully we should be good to go tonight.

Johann

[Ty]

Man, these cars are such pieces of shit! One doesn't even run! Way to throw a rod, asshole. You got what was coming for making fun of my wheels... hahahhaa

[Girodisc]

Your carbon fiber hood makes your wheels look even gayer and your gaskets are blown....

[Ty]

Your carbon fiber hood makes your wheels look even gayer and your gaskets are blown....
Hold on while I drive MY fun car down the road. You can go ahead and push the Corolla, bud :)

[Girodisc]

Yeah well if it ever does run it will wipe the floor with you.... sideways and on fire because it will probably explode. Not to mention Philip can kill you in the family Forester and you will look dumb.

[Ty]

I feel sorry that you have to have your friends go up against me because your car is shit, lol. MY DADDY CAN BEAT UP YOUR DADDY. Ahahahhaha

[Girodisc]

My daddy left us when I was very young........

Its not my fault the Corolla gnomes kill my motors when I am asleep (which in reality is you because you don't want to loose to an 1987 POS)

You will eat your words someday and when you do you can gabble my wiener too.

[Ty]

I can respect a car that's well built and runs. But the homorolla has given you nothing but problems. It's kind of comical. And I have nothing to do with the problems. You didn't find sand in your block, did you?

Anyways, when you have a car that can keep up with mine I will buy you a cookie. Until then I will enjoy my fun being on the top. ;) Of you.

[Domesticated]

sounds like you two need to cuddle a little longer before getting out of bed
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/images/rofl.gif

[Backwoodz Tuner]

^^LOL^^ yeah I feel the tension too.

[Ty]

LOL. We just flip eachother crap... it's how we roll.

On a side note. It took us like 5 hours because we're retarded but we got the brakes done. Thanks a ton Johann, they work amazing! The Giro pads had better bite than I originally thought they would.

[Girodisc]

Yeah he is just jealous that I build cool cars. It may not run because anything that goes into that car is cursed but it looks cool sitting there. :lawl:

I got me a DD coming that runs so we'll mess with that a little bit and hopefully it will shut him up for a bit.:dita:

Johann

[Domesticated]

well that green 86 is probably one of the coolest cars ive ever seen. i saw a black with thick purple flake one last summer here in cda with rolled widebody and shaved everything. it was sick
