Wowsers! Like the red cage and black interior. No idea on those engine to be honest but I cant see it being better unless it was turbo'd or something. Looks like a good job though!
why not just leave a perfect car alone?

she was nice the way it was-but i say yr man is going to make some car out of it-fair play to him,as for the engine cant say if i had the money i wouldnt drop a beams engine in----beams al the way

Savage work going into it but I suppose you have to look at it from his point of view he prob wanted to be different from the conventional 20v, sr20 or 4agze conversions. Big up from me anyways for something different
Ken
Looks perfect in the 1st pic. Fair play though he is going all out... thats a crazy looking cage?
yikes, first pic = win!
new engine choice = loose!
the new chassis work is great BUT why not start with a bare shell?

Let me just say that it will never be this good again,the way the trusty owner in japan built it to perfection.No bullshit.All functioning.Same size wheels all round.Fully Fully Fully...Fully Awesome.
R.I.P.

with a 5mm shim either side here this car would would be 10mm the positive side of perfection.;)
http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj209/docco418/DSC00318.jpg
And i put these on for simon 1 day at a japfest,its one of the only 86's in the country id swap my own for in this picture.. 14's all round!!!!!!

Who has the car now Simo?
hell of a lot of work gone in but the Beams is a bit weak for all the work imo although there arent that much choice for big hp na's withought spending mad money
Edit : I think there car looks shit in the pics above, way better in the first pic. I saw it at WGH when docco had it, no offence to anyone because the lads knew it but it was painted with a yard brush.
I'm sorry but I agree with Twinky here, The car was perfect!!, IF he did get it into his head to do a Beams conversion why not a DOHC conversion, he might end up with the car been less drivable than the way it was the way he's going, Looks like the engine Kruizer was selling, Anyway all in all Ive lost the respect I had for this car,
SEX!!!

I'm picturing this car now with the mk2's it had origianlly on the rear, on the front with your longchamps on the rear.

As said above the car was awesome when it came then lost its authenticity :( cant say i understand the sohc beams but if it sounds or goes anythin like driftma's im all for it :) ....lookin forward to see whether he makes a job of it or not
lads just thinkin der this is actually a FAIL enough original nicely put together cars that landed here from japan have been wrecked,botched,muled,and butchered,not saying this car is any of the above listed but it should have been kept jdm tyte and the new owner buy a shitter and bring it back to life rather than tear apart a rare 4-agze jdm gem and donate it to science by putting in that gimp of an engine..id say a 16v 4age would even be better..

isn't driftma's dohc beams from a tezza??now that would be fine
yes 5.16 is a nice bit

why not just leave a perfect car alone?nothings perfect....Things can always be made better..............
ill say one thing he was a brave man to sand blast that thing!!! and there was a hell of a lot more left than i was expecting!!!!
i have to say i always though it was a nice car but when i see it in the flesh when i collected them rims of ya i really fell in love with it reminded me of that sexy knights red ae86 for some reson....
i dont see whats wrong with stripping it and doing all the chassis work on it even if it is over kill for what hes putting in it i say fair play for all the work it definly will do no harm but what id he doing putting a sohc in it?? even with the dohc beams id be wondering if it was worth the effort and cost over the 4agze, was there something wrong with the 4agze in it??
Was very close to picking this up myself at one stage, then unfortunately Si had that bit of an engine problem and it all just kind of fell through. I had quite a few plans for it. But the 4agze wouldnt have been touched. If anything he could have looked into converting it to turbo surely? It is a very strange one, would love to know his reasoning behind the sohc? I cant understand the sense in it at all....
its odd, cause when the guy came to collect the car off me, i asked him what the plans for it were and he said he had none, haha
but i had been talking to him since and asked him theory behind the beams engines and he told me its for reliability which then makes me think he still want it for road use i dont know much about the beams engines but surely it will be slower than the 4agze am i right?...then when i asked him why not sr20 it he said he was sick of turbos,
have to agree with you killian the car was lovely when it first came in to the country but i got shafted when taking this car NOT DOCCO'S FAULT but the guy i was getting it off told me that the ssr mk2's were coming with the car and then latter found out yer man was lying. wasnt happy the car defo would have had 14"'s all round... im no saint either i completly changed the look of the car also but hey there only cars
and this thread is not here to slate the guy doing the work, i think it is great what he is doing, just a weak weak engine choice..
haha gem love your comment!! winner

Have to say I think its Epic what hes doing,No doubting t'was nice prior to this

Engine choice is fail tho,Nothing less than SR to go in there imo!

This car had win written all over it i only drove it about 4 miles and fell totally in love with it!!!! :)
And i'll have a dohc beams in my ae86 by the end of the summer hopefully if money works out:p
Ahahahahahahaha I only just noticed it's a sohc beams.....WTF?! I want him to join and explain why he's putting that piece of shit stove into it!
since when is that engine only sohc, it a dohc ye fucking idoits, but it's not a good choice all the same, it would have been easier to fit the blacktop beams since its rwd configuration all ready and has a nice 6 speed box already but sure thats what he wants to do,so leave him at it.
And I think ye should all shut the fuck up about how it used to look etc etc, if you wanted to keep it looking like that you should have kept it in simons case and the rest of ye should have bought it so leave him do want ever he wants.
RANT OVER:D

who is a tad touchy.:D:D:D.. i was weary when people were saying it was a soch.. i wasnt to sure... but why take a fast engine to replace with something that may be slower
but for him completely changing the looks and people thinking its wrong thats just peoples preferences no body said he wasnt allowed change it its just opinions obviously its his car, and in my opinion i didnt want the car but i just wanted people to see the change it is under going, personally i wish it was left alone but im not going to loose sleep over it :p;):p:D
