Benny88's No Longer Supercharged Ae82

[Benny88]

hey everyone i'm new to the forum this is my second AE82 but this one that i have just acquired is not stock like the first. it has a 4agze and lsd gearbox out of a AE101 levin and i believe AE92 disc brakes, it also has had a light blue respray that has a purple tint in the light. the interior has been re-trimmed in blue and white and it has gt gauges. after driving it i just had to have it, its such a little rocket and the engine noise is second to none. it has stock Toyota alloys and standard tires that light up at any hint of throttle its a joy to drive. here are some pics...

 

 

 

thanks for checking it out

hide that FMIC and that will be an awesome sleeper, keep everybody guessing and the fuzz off your back

[Benny88]

the front mount is pretty bold i know but you gotta love the results it really is the biz

[watty]

if you want to do the dash like mine there is a lot of work getting it all smoothed out .

i just bought 4 new adrenalin re001 Potenza tires they are probably the best tire i have ever driven on i would strongly recommend these to anyone for use on the street check out the site http://www.potenza-adrenalin.com/ to find out more. i got mine in 185/60r14 at a really good price. also the new bearings are in with machined rotors and genuine brake pads for the ae93 twincam. i changed all the oils and fluids using the best lubricants, mobil one in the engine

and Penzoil LSD in the gearbox now the car feels even better. the only thing i haven't changed is the supercharger oil cos I'm still not sure what my best option is.

wow the last year has been a blur i'm back now sporting a new car and a new attitude towards cars.

 

 

this is what happened to my beloved rolla

 

thanks to a pretty awful 4wd driver

 

my new car

 

and a new direction towards handling and driveability, and a shift away from the flashy straight line speed of previous rides

Sorry for your loss, hope your ok. Whip lash sux ass :)

So are you going to swap all the old running gear over?

[Benny88]

that will be the last step if at all. the old car was great in a straight line but i'm hoping for more from this car. fortunately i was not in the car when it happened i was in bed.

Damn! Did you cry? I would have cried! Right after I knocked that c*** the f*** out!

[delaney]

that sucks... the blue one was tidy...

hope ur plans for the white one work out buddy

[Benny88]

nah i didn't cry, but not for some macho reason. when it happened the bang woke me up and i just got dressed and walked out i was oddly calm about the whole thing.

[Benny88]

i just looked at those pics and they were from when i first got it. here is a pic of the engine bay a bit later on. and the purple stuff was not my idea it was the missus.

Dude! I hope you still got that car, wanna sell me the engine? :)
