that's i'madickhead's car

purchased for 900 bucks.

mechanically "ok"

body and frame..that's anyone's guess.

engine isn't JDM. it's still AFM bluetop.

You make me sad. You have just ignored the purpose of the post. I already have 2 non workinfg AE86's so I'm not intrested in buying it. I just thought what he put in the description was funny.

And are you comming to get this door or what? If you don't come get it soon I'm selling it to Jover the next time he comes over.

non -working? what happened to your other ae86?

the engine itself could still be "jdm", just adapted to use AFM

It just over heats. I know whats wrong I just haven't got around to fixing it yet. The rad hoses collapse and I need a new thermostat. But I think the ingition timming might be off as well because it explains why the car has poor acceloration and over heats. Also the fan clutch is starting to go. It's like the whole cooling system decided to die all at once.

And if you were wondering yes this is still the same overheating problem I had at the end of August but now it is worse. I spent $400 on a new rad for nothing. :cry:

timing is simple..get yourself a timing light and a 12mm closed socket wrench.

clutch fan? whats that?

hoses should be easy to find although expensive. you might want to check your heater core to make sure its not blocked. that can cause overheating.

hope this helps
