WILDLY Adjustable Suspension Kit for Scotto’s Toyota AE86 Gymkhana GRID build

We gotta sawzall and tack weld the “new” axle, mount the gorgeous new suspension, grease pack the bearings, assemble the Big Daddy brakes… the To Do List never stops growing! Also all work stops when WRC rally driver Kris Meeke pops in, but at least everyone was talking shop!

Fun to see Scotto combining German and Japanese. Even better that he's actually working on something 😂 🍻

[@cathat9622]

Now he just needs to put on some Italian wheels and he'll have the full combo

[@bradleybaumann6883]

With as much as Jameson helps build all the Gymkhana cars, I feel like they should all jump in and help him build a car, I would love to see a Jameson car build.

[@bobbobbert4387]

Scotto comes up with some of the coolest stuff I swear, him actually getting a car built makes the world a better place. Keep it up man! We’re cheering for you

[@donnieboughton1730]

I think you mean Scotto way over complicates. That's why 97% of his projects never get finishes!

[@bannerzone_UK]

I love what Scotto is doing it. Very UK/European

[@ryancdallas]

Was not expecting to see Kris Meeke standing in the Hoonigan garage! A good Northern Irish man like myself 😁 He's a rally legend!

[@shona5512]

Same, I wasn't looking at the screen but when he said "Kris Meeke" i perked up like a meerkat lol Surprising to see a Dungannon man pop up in videos on the other side of the world

[@MultiTravellingman]

To me this type of series is the backbone of what Hoonigan is. Taking regular cars and making them special, driving them, driving them hard and enjoying life. Shredding the lot, build bios, and all the random stuff is great, but at the end of the day it's just us and our cars and what we do to them to stand out. Not all of us have the luxury of using a large shop, having a crew and sponsors, but see what can be done is always inspiring and something to work towards for us common folk.

[@styloren]

One thing I've noticed and love about Scotto's vids is that he frequently has a hands-on show & share bit and actually teaches something, like with packing those bearings today. Fun stuff!

[@armywife11]

Love seeing Meeke!! Please get more Wrc drivers (or more rally driving in general on the channel)

[@colinhawkins8265]

This is such a fun series to watch. That last shot gave me major nostalgia. I owned a 92 GLI when I was younger and I miss it pretty often. Seeing that 16v brought back a lot of good memories of canyon drives. The VR6 will rip and I can't wait to hear it, but if it doesn't fit and you go with the 16v, you know at least one person won't be mad about it. Idk anything about the powerband or how well suited it would be for a grid car, but doing ITB's instead of a turbo seems fitting for the 16v.

[@brianschatz4882]

I noticed the 16 valve right away. I had an 89 Helios GLI, i put a 2l 16v in it annd it ripped.

[@KRAMPUS_G60_16V]

MKII 4LIFE 🙂

[@randoawesomemix9501]

How fricken awesome it is to see Scotto putting in the time. Finishing this build is going to be crazy bragging rights. I'm not a VW guy but..... Those VR6s have some crazy potential.

[@ajconfidential8840]

That’s what I miss the most out of you guys is the most simple yet important lesson on small things like bearings. Love to see you guys 💙💙#43

[@43Disciple]

After so many years following I know this is the ultimate joy for Scotto, the reason he won’t “just get someone” to fix his cars is that he loves troubleshooting and fixing, he’s got a lifetime of vehicles to chase gremlins and successes. Play on playa, this VR86 will scream 🎉

[@alexanderfong4600]

You’re probably gonna want to use the negative camber setting on the rcas with about 3-4 degrees caster and 5-6 degrees camber with 0.5 toe out. That’s a decent starting point for that engine weight and being a gymkhana setup. I run a JZ up front and you have to really up the front end steering response to get it to change direction when you want it to.

[@alexanderfong4600]

Also a 10-14kg front spring really helps

[@joseacuna3239]

WHAT! Kris Meeke? This is a HUGE surprise, guy is a tremendous driver

[@QBDLettuce]

Hell yeah, loving this series. Really motivates me to get my car done sooner. Working on a uneven driveway has been the biggest disincentive ever.

[@cameronlowry7599]

Videos like this are what got me so into Hoonigan. I was thoroughly entertained but also learned new things. Appreciate the "teaching session." I love when those shots are included! Great content.

[@charliekealoha]

Why do I feel like this is the most amount of work I've seen Scotto do on any car since the start of the channel and it's only been a couple episodes. LOL

[@TheWolverine141]

Those caster rods blew my mind, really inspired me to go all out with my car, truly impressive 👏🏼 🙌🏼

[@subarusam34]

For those who don't know Kris Meeke was Colin McRae understudy and is the first British Driver to win Rally Finland and he also might still have the highest average speed over a complete rally. In short Kris can certainly pedal any of the gymkhana cars.

[@shona5512]

And you'd know he was under McRaes wing as he had the same all or nothing, flat out mentality. Foot down, risk it all for the win or crash trying.. Unfortunately that mentality resulted in his sacking, but fuck me he was an entertaining driver to watch.

[@subarusam34]

@@shona5512 him in a Clio S1600 in Donegal is one of my earliest memories of Rallying. Never has a S1600 been driven so Hard against WRC cars. Amazing.

[@jrally]

Great to see Kris in the US again. Had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with him for a couple of days back in 2020, right before lock down. (literally a few weeks before)

[@lucasblanchard47]

[@StrykerWolf92]

Kris Meeke's reaction to Scotto's love for German stuff is how I've always felt about VW's lol

[@shona5512]

Which is funny to me since he spent most of his career driving French cars which have a far worse reputation than German cars. (Even though France is undoubtedly the king's of WRC)

[@PascoalD]

keep it strong. This one is my favorite build on YT right know. The two thing i love the most, german and japanese engeniring combined. This is the combo we all needed. Congrats to the whole Hoonigan team. Keep making dreams come thru

[@MAGDUMPMAX]

Proud to see Scotto get this far congrats 😂

[@johnmoser2689]

I love Brian's build especially cool engine swap

[@tturi2]

I had a similar front setup in my falcon, it just turned out to be too much hassle vs just using shims and high miss-alignment bushings to space out control arms for toe plate alignments

[@tturi2]

btw, how could you not consider an Audi 5 cylinder?

[@JSmooVE3990]

I just watched a giant man pack bearings and I loved it. Great build series y'all.

Cant wait til this is running! Also get yourself a bearing packer. Much less mess and not expensive

[@johnherbold6539]

I was surprised when Scotto mentioned using a panhard bar rather than a watts link. Watts link is pricier but better and a huge advantage of the 8.8 is the aftermarket selection of WLs

[@TheCpaschal86]

Best way I have ever seen to pack grease in a bearing is in a vacuum bag. You just glob grease on top and set it in the bag. The bag shrinks and squeezes the grease perfectly. Also a good way to have spares ready to go as they are preserved in the bag

[@baileybrewer1172]

Good job Brian! Looking good, keep it up.

Might want to consider welding and reinforcing the front strut towers, since you'll be beating on it with probably something like 50-75% more spring rate.

[@philiprowney]

1.49 - As a 'plastic paddy' I've been using a tape measure since I could count. If you measure from the m,iddle the length does not matter. Place a center-line CL and get all the numbers from that datum.
