Does your windows frost up in the winter, since the car dont have ac, and how is the roof, does it not leak water? Just bought one and will have to drive it in the winter too, had driven a 350z in the winter and it was perfect, hoping the mr2 will do me well too 😀
My roofs have always been great with no leaks luckily :D and yes, they sometimes do frost up but with the heater that’s luckily solved pretty easily, so just like every other car, scrape before you go and drive :D on really bad days they tend to freeze from the inside too, but only over night and once the heat is turned on it all comes off super quickly since it’s only some frozen condensation anyways :D Happy driving man, it’s a fun car!!
Sadly I don’t have a oil pressure gauge so I can’t tell you that but for temperatures, for normal driving it should go around 90°C but it can also reach 110°C to 120°C for very hard or fast highway driving.
Hey thank you for your interest! It’s about 4mm thick so it fits exactly in the same tabs as the factory shift boot. Sadly I can’t promise you if it’s gonna work or not with your setup but I am confident it can. Raising the shifter and having a short shifter should only reduce the movement at the height of the cover so I think it could work!
@@PlaneTMRS oh ok if it's 4mm thick in total i think it should be good. i think i have about 7-8mm of clearance from the top of the shifter cage to the bottom of the boot. it never rattles against the shifter stem from vibrations or bumps?
Wow that’s amazing! Sadly I’m not in Germany at the moment or I would have considered getting it ;D but if you really want to sell it, you can send me some details and I can show it to the German mr2 forum, I’m sure there are people who are interested!
i doubt its incredibly stiff… why? because its very old car and normally between generations you get even 50-100% gains in stiffnes. So literally every normal current car is much stiffer. You can find numbers for each car, its pretty interesting.
I can’t argue with that ;p but my statement was never a comparison to modern cars. At most it might have been one to my Toyota MR-S which based on being a convertible, doesn’t have the most stuff chassis :p I wanted to emphasize that FOR such an old car, this is probably as stiff as an AE86 can get. Stiff two door body, rollcage, strut bar and spot welded seams :D
Hey thanks for your message! I have some of my files up on Etsy (Roadstars Automotive) if you are interested! If I remember it correctly I used a 70 or 80mm pipe, I don’t have the data on me at the moment, sorry!
OH YEAH MAN, You got that! They're so hard to get nowadays. My father used to own one. But this is crazy. Good luck with it! (Earned yourself a new subscriber too)
Love the car definitely has a happy expression on its exterior engine sounds very happy too. Can you upload some raw driving POV footage of calm touge driving and normal commute?(only those of whice you're comfortable of showing.)
It's actually crazy that keeping this engine bay stock is rarer to see that modded ones! Even though its not perfect condition, rusty and all of that its super cool that you saved this 86, looking forward to more videos!
Yeah I was pretty surprised as well! It came with the original steering wheel as well but sadly i can't use it since i dont fit that well in the car with it :'D
Ahh, the typical problem with japanese cars haha I'm 185cms and I'm concerned I wouldn't fit in many of these, so that bucket seat upgrade is well needed
Congrats what a dream car! I'm looking forward to seeing more videos. This is the first video I've seen from you, but I'm already sure that your channel will be growing fast from now on!
I‘m extremely hyped for you getting this car! All the work you put into it getting it running and street legal payed off big time. Excited for the roadtrips and stuff you‘ll do to it 🤩
So good to see 😎 believe it or not my very first car was a red Levin hatchback 😂 Still miss it to this day. Enjoy yours bro, fantastic car. Thanks for sharing 👍🏽
