I'd say they're a printed version looking at that but not one of the old kind i used to supply.

Colours look similar to the layered type i do so would be your best option unless you could find who did them ones originally. This it one of mine pic was taken at night but you get the idea. 

I can do a bonnet one for £7.50 posted

A full set is £45 posted if that would be easier 

I can get reps but only layered vinyl rather than printed. If you're unsure of what you have get some pictures of your current ones and ill see what I think will be best. 

Might be the alternator still, Stick the multimeter directly on the alternator terminal if you can get to it. 

Welcome back, i thought i recognised the user name. Hope you find what you're after chap 

Nice 

Also how can you tell us you have bought an 86 but not post any photo's of it... 

Have you tried a different battery? 

Check the earth is good to the battery

Might have to mosy down for this seeing im not working this weekend

Yea sorry that’s the one I mean 

 

ok so it’s a lot of work I’ll pass 

how does the 4age go in them drivability and speed as I had a couple of ae86’s and they went quite well in them

It goes alright, its never going to break necks as it's n/a with 175hp odd in a 940kg car (ep91 SR) I could shed some weight from it as its got full interior etc. But for me i just like the high revving nature of it all and trying to make it a usable daily car.

7e? Do you mean 7afe? As in the 1.8l 

It might look similar but its a lot of work to fit and involves cutting chassis legs and other stuff. I have a 4age in my car (1.6l) which is the same engine family "A series" so the work required to fit either is similar. 

Welcome, not seen a sunroof like that before.

Looks like a lovely example, get some glanza mirrors for it will compliment it nicely 

Hmm i think im going to stick a new o2 in it and see how it goes, i dont really  fancy throwing another £1k + at it just now, I know its really the best option but If its running ok then so be it. 

I still need to look at the powersteering and make that heavier, then I'll be pretty happy with the car and will start using it more and find the love for it again, maybe then I'll be more inclined to throw some extra money at it.

Now you mention it it is a tad leaner, maybe thats down to it having some drop in poncams now. Itsmaking more power and torque than previous and the tester did seem happy enough with it so ill carry on using it for now. I took it out for a drive afterwards and it did feel quicker so im wondering if it was just a bit choked up for being sitting around and only warmed from time to time?

The other issue is I dont have any means of adjusting fuelling currently so unless i stick an aftermarket fpr i cant see me being able to make any changes. 

Just as a comparison

2011 run was

Hks mushroom filter with long arm intake

Factory trumpets in plenum

Oem ht leads

4-2-1 obx manifold

Decat

2.5" header back exhaust.

Factory auto ecu. Speed limited

C52 5speed box

2018 run was

Oem airfilter in factory air box

30mm apex trumpets (advised to switch back to oem)

Spitfire 8mm ht-leads 

4-2-1 fgk manifold

Decat

2.5" manifold back exhaust

Factory auto ecu delimited

C56 5 speed box

Riiiight, so had it on the dyno, did some load testing and power runs to test fuelling under a range of conditions. 

Good news is its not that bad, its rich on idle, around 13.5 - 13.9. Cruising was ok at 14.7-15.1, jumping around a bit but otherwise where it should be. And under WOT its pretty much where it should be and i had a look back over an old dyno from 2011 when it had a similar setup and the AFR graph was almost identical so i guess i got panicked over nothing other than maybe a faulty o2 sensor. 

As for power, its a different dyno to previous runs but the figures were about on par. 

Again huge driveline losses but identical to previous runs elsewhere so not sure whats causing that but results were 

178fly @ 8400

132wheel 46hp loss... 

122lbft @ 6200

New run fuelling is the ditty one in pink lol

old run from 2011 fuelling at bottom

As you can see, they are almost identical leaning out and richening up in the same places.

Fair play for having a go lad, its a good way to learn but it can be costly. Trust me, I've caused myself a few headaches by not doing my research or asking a few questions.

If you're in doubt about anything, have a quick search in the tech area for some key words to what you're doing. Theres a search function to narrow things down. 

Secondly failing that, bung a post up asking some questions, outlining what you're doing and what info you'd like to know. although it may not seem it at times, we are a friendly bunch who want to see people and their projects succeed 

Ae111 facebook pages, most likely in a gearbox. If looking through the diff They look like a solid plate, theres a very small gap down either side but its hard to see

Yup quiafe for road. or a trd torsen/helical, if you could find one, Theyre basically the same as what got put in ae111 levin bzr's. I have one in both my cars and they're great. 

Right, ran over mosts bits in the engine bay with a multimeter, checking resistance or voltage.

Tps sweep test, Map, Iat, Injectors, o2, water temp. Etc etc 

Everything checked fine out so next thing will be mechanical items, fpr, and fuel pump fuel injectors then ecu. 

Hopefully the dyno run tomorrow will shed some light on what it could be as im running out of ideas lol

Good idea, my concern with a road car would be longevity of it unless you could come up with a suitable boot to put over the rose joint. 

As for the length you would find a happy medium say that OEM is fine for 0 -30mm drop

Then offer length a/b/c for 30-45/45-60/60-75 etc, it would offer a vast improvement in the overall geometry than if you ran the OEM ones.

On another note, you could almost use this as a secondary means of camber adjustment too, albeit you would have to undo it to adjust it and it wouldn't be locked up Securely. Maybe a future revision could somehow incorporate that? 

Yeah exactly, I'm going to a different one on Tuesday (emerald) so it's not going to be a direct comparison but it will still give me some baseline figures to work out what's going on fueling wise.

Nothing off the shelf fromt ME, I could make a jumper harness but you'd still be getting up towards 1k by the time you've bought it and had it all mapped. I have an E-manage sitting here but there's loads of contradicting stories of them dropping maps on 4age's so I'm reluctant to use it. Plus the few times it's been on a Dyno it's been running extremely well and fueling spot on. The operators usually comment on how good it is and when asked about improvements from an ECU they've said it would be negligible. 

There will be gains I'm sure and probably most of it from the midrange which would be a good thing but at the moment management isn't going to fix the fuelling issue unfortunately.

Always was Avery nice example, good to see it making an appearance again!

Good work mate. I know it’s a lot of money but have you thought about sticking some management on it? 

I have, and I still am debating it but unless I went boost I don't feel it would be worth it. I might get an extra 10-15whp and slightly better mpg but is it really worth £1k? Or what ever it would cost. 

As for your name change you'd have to speak to an admin, moderators don't have that ability I'm afraid.

Well been faffing around testing things to try and get to the bottom of my over fueling issue, still none the wiser. So I decided to book it in for a Dyno run to find out when exactly it's over fuelling to try and narrow things down a bit. 

In the mean time I fitted the OEM intake plenum and airbox to make it quieter, I used to 30mm imec trumpets inside the thing so these will still make the power a bit peaky but I think overall it should have shifted down a bit. But It definitely is missing some urgency which I'm assuming is down to the fuelling, compared to my daily corolla with a 20v its no where near as responsive 

It's a bit of a squeeze and I need to modify the top of the plenum to give clearance to the strut brace but it's all in. Actually quite like the sound of it, it's got a good grunt to it

Fensport stock oem replacement blue print ones, both my 20vs run them for 4 + years
