HELLO THERE MY DUDES!


I'm Muzahid. born and raised in Bangladesh(the rice fields), and currently living in the Gunma prefecture of Japan. i was given the option to go to UK or Japan for studies. And y'all know why i picked Japan lmfao. ok enough of that

FIRST PROJECT!


After saving some money from job salary for a few months, i finally decided to go look around for some cars i can potentially buy. Now out of ALL the things i could've bought, this is what i got instead



it's a 1985 Corolla AE86 Levin Coupe. Among other places idk why i opted to look in the local junkyard, but i did and this thing was just sitting there, on one corner of the junkyard with a blown engine and a lotta missing parts that occasionally people bought off. I looked at it and instantly wanted to put it out of its misery and restore it :D



the car is currently missing almost the whole front end (it was on a minor crash before that broke the bumper and the headlights), left front fender, one taillight, a lot of the interior, rear bumper and some more things. the door and hood were missing too. i had to buy spare ones from the junkyard

as of now its been towed to a friends garage since he had space for one car. But i'm gonna have to find my own garage space in one or two days.



The Blown 4A-GE 16v that im gonna have throw in a bin. have 2 or 3 engine options for this car. Stay tuned for that OwO



that'll be all for now. feedback and suggestion for my build will be much appreciated :D

Finances:
20,000 V$-800(car)+150(door and hood)+50(towing) = 19000$

Nice to see another Levin coupe. I can sell you my stock front and rear bumper if you'd like? They're black and basically brand new. V$250 and they're yours.

MY FRIEND'S PRIDE AND JOY


So uhh my friend (who let me keep my car in his garage) gave me an early morning ride along in his SWEET s15, and me being me, i asked him to park somewhere just so i could take some photos OwO



his car is more of a street drift style. rocking the chargespeed bodykit (apart from the nismo front bumper)







The topmount turbo SR20 that powers it. he says it made about 380bhp



Things an absolute MACHINE. properly reminded why exactly i came to japan. ok enough of his car now

BACK TO MY SHITBOX


So my friend also helped me get a space to wrench on the 86. he knows the owner of this garage which is like 1 block away from his place. after some chitchat and negotiation, the owner allowed me to rent a space of the garage for 2 weeks. we came to an agreement of about 120V$. fingers crossed i have the car running in this time

Also, i purchased Kouki Levin front and rear bumpers from Skip (on forums) and also a new front left fender and front grille from a local spare parts store







Friend also came over to accommodate me a bit and gave a hand on installing the parts



Long ass day. idk how i havent passed out already. gonna go get sum schleep

Finances:
V$19000-120(garage rent)-250(front and rear bumpers)-130(fender and grille)
= V$ 18500

TAKING SHAPE(really f-ing slowly)


Sooo i havent posted in a few days. been a bit busy running around getting parts for this car (also made another big purchase OwO stay tuned). think its safe to say it looks like a car now, from the outside at least

new trueno coupe taillights (on a levin xD)
and the center molding piece for the trunk



new levin headlights FINALLY



And ofc, to prepare for the new engine, the old blown 4A has been taken out. maybe i'll part out whatevers left of it if anyone wants it. or just sell the whole thing somewhere.



Thats that. Update on the new purchase i was talking about coming soon!

Finances:
V$ 18,500-200(headlights)-170(taillights)-40(trunk molding) = V$ 18,090
18,090+415(salary)
= V$ 18,505

NEW DAILY!



That big purchase i was talking about on the last post. with the 86 still not running, i was getting frustrated about commuting on the bus or trains. needed something to move me about town, while also being fun. and now here we are :D

its a 2000 Nissan Skyline GT HR34 sedan. RB20DET swapped by previous owner (originally was N/A RB20), and has KSport Kontrol pro coilovers. apart from those its bone stock.




Bonestock RB20DET swap. 220hp approx.


Fresh well-kept interior



Some aesthetic mods coming for it soon!

Finances:
V$ 18,505-4200 = 14305

Whaaaat, congrats on your new purchase man! You will definitely won't be disappointed by this car even tho it is RB20, also it is HR34 not an ER34, as only HR models came with RB20 originally :) Anyways, I am more than happy about your choice!

Thanks for pointing out the mistake man, corrected it. so far the car doesnt feel that slow thankfully. tho i do plan to squeeze out 40-50hp more in the future

JUST TESTING THE WATERS


would anyone want to buy my ae86 as is? rolling shell, no engine (you can have the blown 4age it came with if you want to), stock suspension, the white paint is okay but i'd suggest a full respray. and interior missing some dash parts, a passenger seat, and a some panels around the rear seats. AGAIN, just seeing if any one would want it for a new project



more pics just scroll up

EARLY GOODBYE



yes. its been sold to Mr. Stance. with how i wanted the car to shape up, and since its a rolling shell with loads of parts missing, finances wouldnt really agree. hence the decision to leave it to better hands. Press F.

ON TO THINGS THAT ARENT SAD


THE R34 HAS NEW BODY PANELS BOIS
BEE-R front bumnper with Z-tune style hood


Stock GTR style rear bumper, and Z-tune sideskirts



Oh and i also got a new front mount intercooler. bolt on straight to stock turbo.

Up next, wheels, brakes, paint the bodykit, some sort of livery (maybe), and interior tuning

FInances:
V$ 14,305+1500(ae86 sale)-3000(full bodykit summed up)-250(FMIC)
= V$ 12,555
