Hey guys i picked me up a AE86 SR5 about a month ago.

I just wanted to show you guys what im working on.
Im going to use this car for drift and a back up car...
Im thinking about paint i have a shop that is going to let me paint it for free if i do the work so any ideas???!

I almost have everything i need to drop the new 4age 16v.

Here is some pictures










What do you guys think?

 

I love this car.. ill def be following this thread! !

 

Following for sure

 

Cool nice to hear ill have some followers.

So I have a question Im looking at this oil cooler and it says the fittings are AN 6 to AN10 Fitting i dont understand what that means and i dont know what my car is. Engine came with a oil cooler adapter so all i need to do is just pug in a oil cooler and lines.

Also looked at the engine yesterday and its a FWD engine but it will still work I just need to mod the intake mani and buy a header.

 

sweet! remember the cup of water and prepare your tofu delivery route!

 

The Inside has a lot of junk in it now going to clean it out today power wash it and paint the inside black.

Just got the dash off last night

 

SR-5? He pulled an Itsuki and got an AE85 lol, carb engine and rear drum brakes. You def got a project there, may you enjoy it, I'm a bit jealous as I haven't found a decent one without a taxed up price.

 

Yeah its pretty hard to find a GTS not all rusted so a lot of people are doing SR5 to GTS swaps. I got the car for $400.00 Plus a 4age block with head it just needs to be rebuild trying to sell that one off. I just want to get it moving on the road and do some burnouts ill worry about all of the lil stuff later like that rear end and suspension to make it sure GTS.

 

Okay only need a couple more parts to get this Rolla on the road so keep any eye out or if you know anybody with Corolla parts let me know.

Fuel pump Assembly and pump but mostly the assembly GTS fuel tank if you have it.
GTS Throttle Cable
GTS Master Slave Cylinder.
GTS ECU Computer.
GTS Dash Harness.
GTS Rear END.

And thats pretty much it i dont need the Rear end to get it on the road but it would be nice to have.

 

you should drop a used subaru boxer engine in there! make it an old and new AE86! maybe even a turbo subie engine!

 

What? Lol no im going to stay in the 4age family for a lil bit and then i wanna drop in a 2AZ-FE. Keep it Toyota

 

Okay guys i found most of the parts i need going to be ordering this weekend.

Im also going to try and drop in the engine this weekend also.

Im going to relocate the slave cylinder lines to the other side of the car clean and paint the engine bay black today before it gets dark. I only have a couple of hours of sunlight to work on it so i guess we will see how much i accomplish today.

 

Okay so its a lot of work painting the engine bay. I got it all cleaned up and sanded and painted half before it got super windy so i stopped going to finished painting today.

Got the fuel pump for a good price a NAPA. This is what i came up with. Going to wire maybe today or tomorrow and see how it works.

 

Engine Bay paint finished.

 

Looking good man! Keep up the hard work.

 

when i first saw this i thought it was another BEATER thread since this is not an 86 like title says. BUT after seeing finished engine bay shots im subscribed to see where this build goes.....

 

this will be a really sick build!

 

Why does everyone say its not an 86????????????


The firewall on the VIN the first thing it says is AE86!

Im going to take a picture and show you. I cant find anything on the car that says its an 85 WTF? There is 3 places on the car that say 86 so im pretty sure thats what it is.

Any ways i got the engine bolted up to the bell housing and gear box going to try and drop in tonight and block it up. Some how i lost an engine mount and have to order one


Thanks for all the followers and support Im going to try and have the car running before the 24th this month. There is a drift even i want to get on the road and drive already.

 

Well in the US market they kept the chassis code AE86 across all the models, in Japan the models were differentiated along with the AE86 and AE85 chassis codes, which is why I said AE85 when you noted it was an SR5. Yes the plate on the firewall says AE86 in your pic, so you've been spared by whatever reason Toyota decided to just use one chassis code across all models stateside lol(I say laziness lol).

 

Well it says AE86 on the firewall and Im going to be putting all GTS Parts so im going to call it an AE86 and just be happy that Toyota was Lazy haha.
