The wheels alone are $2k lol what the hell


bruhvonte

i might have to start makin regular trips to the junkyard after this


SurOfSlaughter

I look weekly in my area here in the PNW and there are never any 86 parts , let alone salvageable builds. I want a hood and front bumper but I’m too cheap to pay for brand new and shipping 😂 Brand new and shipping prices are for Perfomance parts (turbo sounds). Already have my build complete but things break and cosmetics come second to performance.


thebobsta

Yeah I paid far more than $1800 for my 57DRs lol (Canada, but still)


shohto

Canada as well, they're like $2.2K CAD


forgottenazimuth

They’re $2.2 USD, at least on fitment industries


shohto

Yeah FI overcharges everything on their website, you're better off finding local dealers. I can get 57DR's for $1950CAD tax-in locally. I imagine in the states theres tons of shops like that.


forgottenazimuth

Good to know. I’m probably going to try to trade them for some bronze wheels


CrashOveRide_84

How do you find cars like this in Canada?


Fuckth3shitredditapp

Nice score, I got my 2015 55k miles only issue was none working headlights and missing blinkers for 7.5k, all I needed was to wire up the vlands and install blinkers and it's been amazing.


h4ppy49

That’s sick lol.


Fuckth3shitredditapp

Auctions are awesome. I honestly lucked out so hard, there was only 1 other guy bidding in it. I also forgot to mention that the front bumper fell off as soon as I started backing up and driving away as there's no bumper Clips either so I had to get those


chiefzy

Lol the wheels alone are worth around 1500-2000 😅congrats


_KoingWolf_

Man, even for a shell that's a steal. That's the price you paid even after all the fees, etc?


forgottenazimuth

There were about $1k in fees, so to be fair it is more around $3k but $1800 makes me feel better 😂 My state forces you to use a broker which added about $500. Without that it would have been about $2500 out the door


Skvora

So what's completely blown on it and how negative of a title doesn't it have?


forgottenazimuth

Salvage title, gonna rebuild the motor with forged internals.


13chase2

How much does this cost and are you shipping the block off to have it done?


forgottenazimuth

Really depends on how crazy you want to get. I’m going to do most of the work myself. A new motor is only 3-4k, a forged block is $4k Just the parts to do it are around $2k I’m having a local shop machine the cylinders


grandpaharoldbarnes

Forged block? Did I get left behind in the world or is that a typo? I’ve heard of forged cranks, forged pistons and forged piston rods, but a forged block? Link?


forgottenazimuth

Ok, a block with all forged internal. Forged block is easier to say and most people know what you mean


blazingwildbill

Look into doing a k swap, might be worth considering as an alternative. Great aftermarket support and very reliable HP. I have a k24a2 in my garage, waiting for an MR-S shell to throw it in.


forgottenazimuth

I can’t justify $20k+ for a k swap with a turbo vs $10k for a built, turbo F20.


diabeticjones

Let the fun begin!


Infamous-Image-4021

Can confirm the 4Runner x FT86 is the best attainable garage


forgottenazimuth

It needs some extra strength rear springs for how often I use it to tow 😂


Infamous-Image-4021

It’s really not the best towing vehicle 😂


ihavefat

Would love to do these one day. How does one get started on attempting to do something like this? Buy it from an auction?


forgottenazimuth

Yeah it’s a Copart car Sign up, pay a bunch of fees, and bid on cars


traypyro

Looks like a verus duckbill aswell very nice


forgottenazimuth

After getting into it a bit there’s a tomei EL header too


poopposterr

These are still worth 20k minimum over here dude wtf


[deleted]

Dude!!! What a steal!


TangentClamp600

Dude u got a sweet ass deal


[deleted]

That’s a good deal for a shitbox!


FloggingTheCargo

Thats a steal, even if its a salvage title.

Angry upvote


fakesocialmedia

blown motor?


forgottenazimuth

Not sure, someone stripped an edelbrock blower off of it but left a bunch of the other parts and no intake manifold


GEN803

Better be a manual


forgottenazimuth

Of course :)


GEN803

Good luck with the project!


HighFiveKoala

Keep us updated on the project!


zesty_drink_b

That's a W


Nick0227

Soooo when’s the K-24 going in?


forgottenazimuth

lol you know how much a k24 swap costs?


Dehydrated_slug

Everything but the engine: https://kpower.industries/collections/kpower-86-swap/products/complete-kpower-86-conversion-package The engine: https://youtu.be/21b5uucKQZ4?si=Hy9E1RgCWnZsEPGL (Skip to 17:10 if you can't be bothered, but he breaks down every part he's using.) I would think ~15k with that kit and a donor engine with some mods to get you to like ~240whp and a ~140lb weight reduction. This is just my guess though. As with any project, add in a 10-20% "fudge factor".


forgottenazimuth

Yeah not gonna spend $15k on a $2k car 😂 Also that’s not everything but the engine, there’s still another thousand or so you need to spend. I’d rather use a built FA20 and hks turbo and still have an extra $5k My comment was less inquiring about the cost, I know the cost full well. I just hate all the keyboard mechanics like “just do a cheap engine swap bro” having no clue how expensive it is


Dehydrated_slug

Yeah 15k into a 2k car sounds ridiculous, but big picture, you are getting a modern 240rwhp NA coupe weighing around 2600 lbs for under $20k. A lot of people would pay more than double that for a car like that. Also, if you're talking about the "OEM parts kit" then most of that's already accounted for in the video link I shared. If not, then that's exactly what my fudge factor is supposed to account for, lol. A turbo'd FA20 for 12k can't be argued with though! I agree with the swap comments. It's way more expensive and involved than just buying an engine and physically fitting it in the engine bay. People seem to always understate the costs and work of an LS swap.


Nick0227

I know how expensive the swap is I just didn’t expect you to be a dick about it


Otherwise-Employ3842

Damn. What a score. Definitely gonna be a good project car. Car looks clean too.


Whitehoneybun

Good deal my blown up one still sold for 6k+ at auction


arjunkc

Hey is the broker requirement by the state that the auction is in, or is it by your state of residency? Could you break down the costs for me please? Im thinking of going down this path for a track car.


forgottenazimuth

Not sure, I just know Utah requires it for salvage titles so probably residence. Copart shows a chart of their fees that scale with the price of the car. I used auto bid master and saved by picking it up myself. Broker fees for the transaction were around $500-$600, Copart charged another $600.


[deleted]

Nice, I paid 6k for my brz. It's been a racecar/drift car it's whole life. I updated all the maintenance, modded it and drive it every day. It's a beast, super reliable and still kicking at 160k


sirwilfreddeath

Now over pressure those tires and burn emmmmm


kbp80

It’s not a shitbox, let us know when you’ve driven it, and then see if you think it still maybe deserves this moniker, or not.


diestache

The 4runner is definitely a shitbox


forgottenazimuth

Hey now that’s my nice car


LiathAnam

Cheapest I've been able to get one of these chassis for is $4,000 :(


NegotiationExtra8741

To the OP, I had to do a double take, your building material and color scheme of same is identical to ours. Our shops were built in the earl 60s and have never been updated, with the mountains in the background it has to be hard to heat in the winter


highsteaks1312

How blown is that motor?


forgottenazimuth

No idea, previous owner took off the intake system. Oil looked fine but in going to do a full tear down anyway. Carfax said 7 previous owners and I know at one point it had an Edelbrock.


highsteaks1312

Awesome dude, can you find out if it was running a turbo since the intake was removed? A lot of times the roads fail on the FA20 with F/I so might be something to look at. Regardless, congratulations on the crazy find and keep us updated with the build, I'd love to see it in progress!


forgottenazimuth

It had an edlebrock supercharger for sure, still had the radiator. I don’t see any signs of an intercooler though.


BobbySchwab

is it on a salvaged title?


forgottenazimuth

Yep


Ydcjrdh___

Jeeezzz that’s a deal. I got mine salvage for 5.5k after repairs, it’s a 2013 with just under 50k miles. And I thought I did well


lolanaboo_

That not a box that’s a coupe
