Love the under diff exhaust

Yea, you wouldn't really wanna take the diff out (for some reason ).

Looks great, hurry up and finish it, but on the otherhand, don't hurry and rush it.

Well glade too see you guys appreciate the Legedary AE86!!!! Muhahahahahahaah........

Thanks for the comments guys, I'm really not sure what you guys are talking about(diff exhaust) Well I changed like half the exhaust pipes today, the rear half was exchanged for a nicer looking pipe made from scratch, here's a pic,


All comments are appreciated, also Criticism

*edit* see my cool brakes?

By under diff, we mean under the rear differential. Fujimi had the differential molded to the under tray, so that's why thug said you wouldn't want to take out the diff.

Good job so far! The metal color looks good.

Mind sharing with us how you got the brakes in there? Home made brakes?

Oh......... Well for the brakes, they came off a Fujimi ITR, I had them for spares after I modified the ITR's brakes. I'll try to explain how I did this, it's fairly easy.

Front: It basically consist of 4 pieces of stylene(on each side), 3 of them were bent and cut out to look like the letter "L" then I cut out a round(somewhat) shape to connect to the "L's" to where you glue the brake on. Here's a pic,



Like I said, 4 pieces. Here's what it is, piece "1" is the rounder piece where the brake makes it's contact to the assembly, pieces "2,3 and 4" are the "L's" which can vary in length depending on how far out you want the brakes to stick out. Make sense?

Rear: It's basically the same as the front except, you glue the "L's" to only piece #A32 but you could do it on the other side if you want the brakes more "out."

In the pic, I listed numbers, "1" is the rounder piece, and "2,3 and 4" are the "L's" you could add another "L" in desired to the top of the assembly, but don't really have too. If you have any more questions or don't understand this thing, just ask

Hopes this helps you on your project!!

Good explaination! That's pretty clever! I'd never think of doing that.
I think I'm gonna do that when I build mine.

[Honoturtle]

Answer fast!!!!

If the body is white, interior is black/gray with white roll-cage, what color should the seat-belts be?? White? Blue?? Suggest any color that would match the car!

[turbos86]

I say either
Black, Red or Green (Takata)

Good job!! i hoping to see the finished kit of yours. Well, in Singapore...i have waited for a few years to have AE86 kit. it was close to about S$50 few years ago...i did not buy it because it was way overpriced. just few months ago, i finally had a chance to buy it at less than S$20...i felt that the wait is worthwhile. initially, i do not have the slighest idea in building it but your pics serve as a good guideline for me. Thanks.:flamer:

[Honoturtle]

Just to keep you guys interest up.........

Real Pics




Well, that's it.

[Jonno]

Looks cool.

Can't wait to see it finished...

[[S]ky|ine]

Great job!!! Lov the back view with that exhaust!!! Looking forward to see the finishing pic!!!~

[slydar]

umm not that it matters a whole lot, but an ae86 set up "correctly" would have a higher ride height in the back than the front, they handle better that way

[///Beck]

whoa, nice shit man!

I'm planning to make an AE86 too, the one that drift king Keiichi Tsuchiya has. can u give me some advice on the TRD wing and the front bumper? I'm not very sure what have u don, sry. I'm a newbie :licker:

thx a lot!
