The Legend - Another AE86 Warning!

[Feast Japan]

Normally I like to share what cars are ordered up like I did here (http://zilvia.net/f/media-forum-pictures-videos/355730-legend-ae86.html), but for this one Ive been waiting until she's landed.

This car was a very big struggle from the get go. It was on auction for weeks on end and we could never ever meet the reserve, nor have any luck with negotiating a closed sale with the owner. But that all stopped just before Golden week holidays...thank god!

So here it is, another plain jane looking Toyota Levin. From first glance the car really doesnt look like much. Holding only a chin spoiler and carbon hood. But right next to them is a nicely formed set of lightweight FRP fenders with a bit of added width. On the rear an original TRD light weight FRP hatch. With these light weight parts this car is weighing in at roughly 940KG (2070 LBS.)

Interior does not have much done to it either aside from the Momo steering and aftermarket 80's bucket seat. Still lost for words on the finish of that seat...:cool:

And finally the gravy!. One very well sorted 4AGE. Quite fresh from overhaul this one. Holding Toda pistons, cam shafts and finely balance rotating assembly. Current Freedome CP is set around 8500 RPM and she pulls all the way up there. Suspect an honest 180-185HP out of this lot.

It's beautiful but be always careful with a precious engine like that.Is your automobile's radiator prepared to conquer the summer warmth? Mine is,so don’t let the long, hot summer beat down your vehicle's radiator. Deposit buildup can block the cooling system and result in motor overheating that leaves you dead on the highway. And we all know that nobody wants that.If you know the way to flush your radiator, you can save time, money and keep on the road to summer sun. I found this here: How to flush your radiator (http://www.cardealexpert.com/news-information/the-expert-explains/how-to-flush-your-radiator/):naughtyd:
