Very nice restoration. The one in the anime has a black hood but it looks great anyway. It'd be fun to see all the AE86s compete in a downhill drift challenge and see how it goes. The optics of seeing these cars of the same make, model, and color fight it out in a confusing way.
Hey did you have to swap the manual wire harness and ecu in it and did you have to cut a hole for the clutch pedal and how did you hook up the clutch pedal start sensor
@NickyChicks I have a manual gts and a automatic gts same year but the manual body is bad but the engine and tranny are great and I wanna make the automatic body into a manual but I just don't know if I need to change wire harness and key ignition and ecu but if it'll make it easier idk
Hey! Yes, I did replace the harness, ecu and cut the hole for the clutch. However the wiring harness had one or two different connectors so I had to rewire some things there behind the glovebox. Also the throttle position sensor was different and had to be replaced (previous connected fine but engine had no power)
I have a manual one too so should I just swap the interior harness into it or can I keep the automatic transmission interior wire harniss in because I seen one clutch pedal sensor on the harness but I csnt find the second one yet and what wires behind the glove box sre you referring too also why didn't the throttle position sensor work was it because you used the auto trans interior harness or something bc I have a manual gts running I just don't know If I necessarily need the manual transmission interior harness
I was going to keep the manual engine harness and ecu I just don't know if I need to swap the interior harness ik I need to cut a hole for the clutch master cylinder but what about the shift rods
It's really cool how you made the 4AC accessories work with the 4AGE. How difficult was it? Did you just use the 4AC pulleys or did you swap them all to 4AGE pulleys? I noticed the alternator looks different compared to a stock 4AC alt now.
It wasn't that hard. All the pulleys are from an 4AC. Yes, stock 4AC alternator didn't fit (too bulky), so I just put a 3sfe alternator that was laying around (had to cut the bracket and improvise)
This thing is insane. There's probably a huge market for restored cars like this, I'm sure people would pay out the ass for such a beautiful restoration.
Incredible work bud. Though you could've broke this up into a hundred youtube videos, you put it into one for us. I recommend doing it anyway with your footage and linking to this video for those that want the timelapse instead for a bunch more views and subs all around. Best of luck sir, hope you make more in the future!
