This is an amazing build, very nicely done!

PERRIN_Chris · 05-13-2015, 08:16 PM

Wow, brand new axles?! Toyota still makes them? Are they the factory LSD ones?

Jeff Lange · 05-13-2015, 09:35 PM

They were still available up until about mid-2014. They are now discontinued, these were new old stock. There aren't any more new ones from Toyota.

It's getting really hard to find new parts these days.

Yeah these are the larger axles for with LSD.

DEAR GOD.

I will follow this till the very end. Good job bro.

Looking forward to seeing your car at Driven next weekend! I hope my BRZ is as minty and cool as this 25 years down the road...

That's the dream isn't it. I've had a couple of new cars and I don't even know how to imagine them making it to as old as my AE86 and in as good condition, lol. Good luck, and enjoy the show!

This thread really makes me miss my GTS, though I'm sure it would feel bog slow nowadays. Are 't those seats awesome? Or maybe my back was better in my 30s than my 50s...

Jeff Lange · 05-17-2015, 12:56 AM

You'd think that, but surprisingly not, even in stock form it's a blast.

That said, with the GZE, it's easily faster than a stock FR-S or my Lexus.

Seats are awesome.

So I've been cleaning up my front mudflaps this weekend, installed my windshield mouldings, and today my replica Euro-spec rear mudflaps arrived from Australia! They're quite decent quality, obviously I would much rather have OEM, but haven't been able to find the correct ones in good enough shape to make it worth buying them yet. I've been trying to get them for the better part of 8 years, haha. Still, I am quite happy with the quality of these flaps, I've yet to see how the fitment is, but once the new screws arrive I'll give them a go before the show this weekend.

Jeff

Jeff Lange · 05-21-2015, 03:53 PM

Finally got the hardware for the mudflaps in today (along with the weatherstrips for the windshield side mouldings). The rear mudflaps seem to fit quite well actually, I was impressed:

Also got the transmission bushing swapped out. Toyota does not sell the bushing separately for anything past mid-84, but the dimensions of the bushing remained the same with only some small differences. I would obviously have preferred the newer bushing, but it was worn so I'll take what I can get:

Got a correct label for my fuel lid to match my GZE swap and finally got my trunk decals as well, looking forward to getting them installed, probably tonight:

New rear axles, new rear bearings, new studs. I'm hoping that I no longer have wobbly wheels!

More to come!

Jeff Lange · 05-24-2015, 06:44 PM

So I got the car back together, the new axles helped quite a bit with the vibration, as did the new transmission output bushing, though I do still have the vibration under load above 95km/h. Now that I have eliminated these other vibrations, I feel that once I get rid of the one under load the car will drive quite nicely. I am also experiencing some excessive LSD noise/chatter from the TRD 2-way that I never had last year, I've been running the same fluid the entire time and it was dead quiet last year but now it is quite noisy. I am going to try some other fluids/friction modifiers and see what I can get working. I hope that the LSD is okay.

The factory shifter is now back in the car, though it didn't have the boot on it and my original boot was torn, so I am going to need to get a new boot for that as we

Also of note was the Driven 2015 show here in Calgary this weekend. I spent a ton of time getting it ready as did Josh G. from Stampede Toyota and my buddy John and I brought home the award for best restoration, which was definitely a fantastic feeling to be recognized for what I've done with the car.

Wow..you have the best stock looking AE86 out there. I admire your hard work and dedication....you are lucky to have those oem parts. I'm always checking for availability but always get the answer "Sorry but that part has been discontinued" tears start falling down lol. Once again well put together. Good job Jeff Lange.
