PROJECT 2: Found It!!!

Once again another saturday comes by and its time for another visit to the half cut shops. This time, we were still looking for the Toyota 4A-GE AE86 Levin Rear Wheel Drive engine or if possible half cut. Toyota has a way of classifying their engines according to their generation, and model. Taking the 4A-GE for example,

• 4A-GE(*info from wikipedia)

4 - 4th generation engine in the A engine family
A - The Engine Family it is in
G - Wide-angle dual camshaft

E - Electronically Fuel Injected



AND, we finally found it in this half cut shop at Klang. Tip top condition! :) We actually found this half cut last Saturday but they couldn't get the engine to start. So we bargained with them and they told us Rm4500 for the whole thing plus starting the engine. Well this time, they started it for us and it sounded awesome! Just what I've been hunting for! However, we came in a BMW 6 series so when they saw us, they jacked up the price and didn't wanna let go of the engine at anything less than RM5000, but in the end we agreed and got it. Plus they threw in the rear axle and the springs and a very nice GAB shock absorbers. not sure whether they'll fit but was a good deal!

After we were done with the engine, me and my dad's friend went rim shopping in Klang for his BMW 6 series, and apparently there were a lot of rims that were either made in China or Taiwan, so it was so hard just to find a forged rim or a original rim that would go well with his BMW. Finally, he found a shop that had a set that he liked, think the shop's name was something hooi. Very nice rims over there and very efficient service. He settled for some cool 19inch BBS rims. So this saturday ended up well! happy day today. budget left for the car: RM7025.00

*Never take a BMW 6 series to a half cut shop, if not they'll jack up the price for your parts! lesson learned. And, Klang has a lot of nice used car parts for sale! :)
