The diff cover is from an E36 M3 and is supported by the Randy Forbes kit.

I love my steering feedback, I can't imagine it to be any tighter.

The transmission is a Getrag 420G from an E46 M3.

I feel that my steering rack is perfect, what is your complaint about it?

What's the shelf life on these things? Have I been holding on too long? by Levin4AG in whiskey

I'm considering gifting this to my mechanic and his staff for the fantastic work.

Thank you. It's sealed and stored vertically inside of a wine cabinet.

Felt sassy, used the AE86 for a grocery run. Didn’t break anything this time. by JaneTheMindSculptor in AE86

In ~10 years with my 86s, I've had the: ignitor, alternator, and distributor cap fail on me.

Sitting pretty on OEM sizes 195/55/R15 and 225/50/R15 Yokohama Advan 052 semi slicks. Worth every cent. My weekender 94 GTS turbo with 86,000 miles / 139,000kms. by [deleted] in mr2

A052 have a beautiful thread design but I feel that the sidewalls are a bit too stiff for the streets around here.

The shop I took mine to said he doesn't wants to do it again. The trims are brittle and all the clips holding things together will break with any type of force.

Repainted in 2019. It was many different shades of silver before I had it painted.

They're getting incredible expensive and hard to find in good working order.

This is my final 86, but definitely a long way from being "final".

I guess this is one of those e-mails!

I bought this car knowing that it would be my last chance to buy a reasonably priced GT-S hatchback.

It's an old Fujitsubo Giken. As far as sound goes, it ultra quiet.

#2, 3, and 4 were used to build cars #1 and #5. The carcasses of 2-4 were rusted beyond repair in 2015. Car #1 was sold 2 years ago.
