I'm burning my AE86! Then I am selling the ashes... - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I have never SEEN a car with more problems than my AE86. I am at the end or my rope with this car and am contemplating burning it... Where do I start...

1. it's been in and out of the bodyshop since May (And the paint is still not right)

2. I had to wait 5 months for my TRD shipement

3. I've had my L.S.D on order for 7 months now (and it's not looking good)

4. I purchased a 4agze from Tiger Japanese Auto Parts and realized the block was cracked and the motor had over 200 xxxkms on it (AND THEY WOULDNT TAKE IT BACK!)

5. I rebuilt the motor with 3 different motors, so you can guess the problems I came across.

6. I had a beautiful set of 8:1 OEM 4agze pistons and couldnt find the right rings for it, So I had to go aftermarket pistons.

7. I am banned from purchasing ANYTHING from any local toyota dealership because of the ring situation.

8. I am using a supra tranny therefore I had to buy 2 clutchs. Now I just realized a sprung W50 Clutch disc wont fit in a T50 pressure plate. So i'm fucked!

9. I went to put my motor together and realized the COMPLETE engine gasket set was for the wrong car. And I cant return it cause it was a special order item...

Do I need to go on? Cause theres more...

I think your manic episodes are getting the best of you, settle down, research and plan what you are about to do the next time, and ask us, we most likely can be of at least some help

90% of the shit that happened could not be planned for...

Rust_bucket.. sell the car if you had it, don't burn it!

Rust_bucket · 12-09-2004, 10:27 PM

I've put to much money in it to sell it...

project trueno · 12-09-2004, 10:28 PM

you know, problems 1 to 9 really have nothing to do with the actual car. Its either vender related, failure to properly check components before installation, or part identity mix-up.

But if you must burn, donate the car to me. I don't mind dissecting another 86

And when I'm done you can burn all you want, I'll join you, never tried that way of killing a 86 before

Sell the car and buy a new one and start fresh. Sounds like the car is cursed.

hachi_slow · 12-09-2004, 11:57 PM

Forget all these people wanting to take it off your hands. I'll help you burn it.

You bring the gasoline and I'll bring the match

Care to tell us the ring story?

edit: Since you're using a supra tranny, go get a bellhousing from Toycoolrolla, and a 3S-GTE. You'll probably be happer with that.
