nice little youtube vids there. the ones on youporn are good too
Sorted my engine. It had slipped 2 teeth on the cambelt. I will have to look into why this has happened. Possibly something has got down inside the lower belt cover. I will still pull it apart for a nose and to take pics of all the build for anyone who wants it,but this will be the last thing i do,i have claires civic to strip down aswell. At least i get to enjoy it a bit more for the next 2 weeks before it comes apart now On the upside ive found a g plate mk2 manual with 35k on the clock so that will be my concourse car. I will break the black one up within the next two weeks so anyone who wants anything start saving. claire wants me to get the trueno rather than the levin, What one do you lot prefere?

nnnnnooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooo!!!!!
no no no no no no!!!!!!!!! did i mention i'm against this!  seriously though, i know you have had problems with the s12 but you will have a lot more with an ae86. they have to be revved within an inch of their lives to go anywhere and proper tuning parts are not cheap. the best set up for na seems to be the 4age 20valve engine from the imported fwd levin and corolla gt. these have individual throttle bodies as standard. they have a lot of torque. i'm not trying to force my opinion onto any one but i would certainly agree with martin about driving one before you make your mind up. if you do go for one i would recomend a trueno coupe for drift look or levin for the n2 series look. there's a guy up the north of ireland that makes all the jap body kits for them including the wide n2 arch kit. basically its ae86 heaven over here so if you do buy one and are looking for any parts get in touch with me and i'll hook you up

would you sell the whole car complete? you have done far to much work to scrap it. with the attention it got at the weekend it MUST not happen. what will it take for me to change your mind on this point alone?
does anyone else agree with me on this?

i can get more £ for it in parts Duncan. Over 3k.
Theres no way im getting a a booted one either. Im pretty good with carbs these days so i will probably put it on some 45s with slightly larger cams and a decent 2 1/4 inch exhaust. I think i will stay with the 4age due to long term value and heritage now but I have race bucket seats,race tanks,fire extinguisher systems,harnesses,..... you name it all coming out my ears(not literally). So that and with fibreglass panels ie bonnet,hatch etc it should make it extremely quick. my black s12 was a great project but its not the kind of car im into anymore due to my work mostly. It is too far gone modified to take it back and start it again in a new genre,ive been thinking of doing this for a while but wanted to do jae with it finished. Also I dont see spending say 1k on a respray on a corrolla as false economy as i do with the silvia This is also why i will keep my next s12 completely standard but in showroom condition.I know the one im getting next wont need a respray for a start. Its been garaged all its life.
