hey guys just thaught id throw my new build. i know its not a silvia, but most of the chasis and suspension is. . anyway here it is.

Europe's First V8 ae86. now some people will like the idea some will hate it, but ive always had a thing for the v8 engine and the ae86, so why not combine the two? this is my build over the last few months, getting ready for Prodrift/D-rift, and time attack, + hopefully a few rounds abroad!

basicaly starting off with a trueno ae86,
1uzfe 8cyl, 32v Quadcam, have to keep her toyota!
4 stud s13 rear axle, to keep same wheel fitment
s13 front lca's,hubs,brakes,coils.
supra w58 gearbox.

this is what i started off with.



started to trip her down back in january 08, to see what i have to work with?



then cut up the back end, choped the floor and the chasis mount for the panhard rod!



the s13 rear axle.


recond the axle, and new pollybush kit



new custom belhousing for w58 to fit the 1uz.




new custom flywheel. to fit 1uz, but to take a 3sgte clutch.

new stage 4 racing clutch:

new tension rods


i havent worked on it since febuary 08, but i took it out there in september and got stuck in. so heres the update.

this is how I left it in febuary!


starting to mount the s13 rear axle, just lining it up.



measured and set the front mounts and welded on the plates.




started to measure rear end mounts.


then fabricated rear u beam mount. And fixed to chasis




welded in gussets to chasis leg for extra strength.


new rose jointed rear arm set.





bolted up s13 rear axle, fits sweet.




turned her right way up and started on the engine.
