What a great base!

For me it would be Work Meister S1s. They are what BBS RSs are to Euro cars, work on anything.

Between these 3 most likely but will 100% be second hand so depends on what comes up with fitment etc.

Good to meet you mate 👍🏻

Likewise man, we ended up our own little NI pit in a sea of Irish lads & lol thanks and I’d more plans to do a Few more laps but the few banzi moves up the inside made me think otherwise ha

So few small updates, initially the idea was to lock it away and forget about it and look at it as an investment.

then I drove it a little and really enjoyed the run of it

at the mondello trackday the 13” wheels and tires really let it down, just no grip after few laps and just wanted to scream it’s head off

I’d always wanted to have a ae86 that looked kinda early 90’s spec ‘just off the boat’ look and have decided to go for it.

So…. New wheels are off to be painted. Thanks to @Captain Starlet i managed to sort a set of pretty rare 15” Toms wheels and @RubberLover is sorting me with some of the new Toyo TR1 tires. Hoping they will have a proper Japanese streeto look to them.

@chrisd1 then decided to drop a message saying he’d sourced unicorn poop in the form of the original style Toms Centre caps

0954BB99-5600-4AB6-A0A5-92FBD1EEFBFF.jpeg


the plan is to switch it back to full levin spec with a few rare jdm touches.

new oem levin stickers on the way also

Next steps will be japspeed switch to something jdm and less bap bap and eventually the front grill to the glass with the fogs and jdm spec rear
Lights.

photos of more updates to follow. Car is off
To 86fest start of the month and then ‘back to school’ event.

Are you going JDM with the lights, foglight grill etc?

Is the Janspeed a relatively new stainless system in good shape? If so, PM me a price for it. 👍🏼

Great to see the plans taking shape @da.murf especially as a move away from Irish spec!

both the janspeed and also the superlites are Like total new mate. Yes it’s stainless also. I’ll fire you a price when I’ve figured out what I can replace it with lol.

n yup will be as much jdm glass in as possible although I’ll look at it with my brain as the head lights and taillights where both brand new boxed
Old stock and are perfect

Let me know about the wheels and exhaust sure, I still need to buy those new for myself and yours may do instead if priced right. 👍🏼

Looking forward to seeing it finished.

You'll get great money for UK lights etc. Guys will give you good money along with jdm stuff for UK.

It depends, some stuff can still be got new at the minute, including rear lights (they’re darker lens than the first original UK’s mind you).

Short 1 lap video from Trackday at start of the month. Aint no fast lap but was more about the craic and seeing how healthy the 4AGE was etc

Main thought in my head was 'don't bin it' & 'Don't let someone stove into the side of you up the inside'

The Irish lads loved the late breaking in the little hondas lol

I am now the current owner of this twincam 🤟 Always wanted one but never could afford one and I also got very lucky with RKings competitions! Any info/pictures of the cars restoration or any videos would be greatly appreciated 🙏
