New Wagonist
I figure i would update this now that I actually have a wagon now, I found one in late Feb '10, a Red RT4WD Auto from spokane. I Drove it for a few months, but a bad head gasket cut my summer short. I took a few months away from the wagon, and sourced another D16a6 block n head from my buddy (for free YAYYY) and rebuilt it bottom up, inside n out. I just finally got around to doing the swap from the bad motor, actually only did it a few weeks ago now. I have to say I did a great job lol- Ran perfect right out the gate, no issues at all and still have my AC and all. SOOO as a reward to myself, I bought a set of coilovers F2 T2's and just barely put em on. other items Ive gotten since buying the wagon include- Yakima rack with bike rack and snowboard rack. Integra LS webs wrapped in OEM sized Falken Ziex's. I bought a couple Odyssey underseat storage bins and installed those, and a nice Peachy Peach pine tree air freshener.
Here is a quick Photo gallery of my last year of wagon fun!!!!! and also my AE86 Progress over the year also- getting ready for an awesome 2011 Drift season!
Waggin the first day I got it.
New roof rack- Also car has been overheating every day 2 weeks after getting it from Spokane. LAME
Integra LS webs
On the Road to last years First BoiseDrift Event at Magic Valley Speedway. This was the day the car died.
Soooo in the meantime I have been driving the AE86.
And now with a Fresh Seibon CF hood w/ hood pins and a glossy coat of Black to cover the old red GTS bumper I got from my Brother.
Starting work - Pullin the bitch out! I know you are SUPPOSED to drop it from the bottom, but the right motor mount bolts were already stripped. Out the Top then huh
Cleanin up the bay
New-ly rebuilt bottom end with fresh OEM sized pistons etc.. ( its my DD so Im not looking for a Vtec hot rod- plus its an AUTO still )
After all the work - the car is back on the road!! And lowered to boot!
And now the TYPE II's!
Installed
Side Shot of the wagon-- I still am going to lower the front another half inch or so......
Thats it for now-
Im looking forward to seeing all the Idaho wagon guys at the meet tomorrow!!!
Later!

even slammed like that.
Stance Emotion (work equip knock offs made for Miatas) 15x8 +25 running Falken Ziex 512 195/50R15 stretched
And- Newly recovered headlines for the AE86, along with a Kouki front end grill to replace the butt ugly zenki one.
But it gets the job done, I get out there and compete in Boise Drift and local SCCA events every season and I would never get rid of the car, even after driving s13s and 350z's 300zx's RX7's, Miatas etc, I will always love the AE86 chassis. My brother also has on with a SR20DET in it, and my other buddy has one with a F20C (s2k ) motor! Sweeeettt i tell you!
Thanks mang!
how much camber am I running? I really dont know, Its just stock but lowered a lot. I took a pic of the rears and fronts to get an idea. All I know is, my tires are already shot after 1 year of driving
Also, I got myself a brand new SI lip, from a parts warehouse. I sticker bombed it, because thats how I roll
My GF got my windows tinted for my birthday last fall as well, THANKS!!!
Also, Ive been working on the AE8 alot , got myself a knock off J-blood bumper and some JDM lights.... looks cleeeaannn!
Also finally got a legit racing seat, used Corbeau from a buddy. so much better than i had before!
Ya i have been looking for the right set of wheels for the 86, the car will be painted white here soon, and I want a good set of old school, rareish 14x7 or 14x8. preferably -10 offset or so. SSR Long champs, Sakuras etc is what i want!
