GarageHachi 2011


Yesterday we had a little mini-meet at the Garage. Two of the cars were already waiting for us, having spent the winter in hibernation there, but it was the first time all 4 of the Garage Hachi fleet were together under one roof! This photo is also nice because it has all 4 AE86 body styles together, with both 2 and 3-door chassis in Levin and Trueno flavours. We had a bit of a recap of the various jobs awaiting each car, and have some nice plans and ideas in store for this year. There will also be the addition of a 5th car to the fleet as a good friend joins the team to resurrect his Levin, so hopefully we will have lots more interesting blogs this year. Stay tuned. :)

PS big thanks to anyone who read/commented/linked to GH last year, its nice to see it being followed all around the world. Comments and feedback are always welcome!

Another small shop I came across while net mining.

KDS sell KONI  short stroke inserts for ae86 dampers , which is something I haven't come across before and there very reasonably priced too @ 135 euro for one front s/s damper!!
KDS sell a few nice bits like Beatrush and some other cooling goodies.
One Different piece they sell, is this IACV ( idle air control valve) block off plate! I dunno though??! why not just repair or replace the iacv , but anyways pic and vid below!!! ( be sure to turn the sound down
on the vid ;) )
