The car has undergone an engine conversion to a 4A-GZE (1.6 supercharged) engine which I put in myself and documented over these pages, it should be good for 165bhp at the flywheel.

Go through my pages to track how I progressed, feel free to rate and leave comments, thanks for looking :^)

I sold the car to fund travelling, anyone with an AE86 I'd be happy to meet up whilst on the road, see my website at http://www.adventurerob.com

gorgeous levin! Seriously, good job. The 4A-GZE looks top notch. Plan on building another eight-six anytime soon?
