I remember seeing something about AE86 steering mod combinations with Battle Version I/II mods and a twitchy/unsure steering feel and can't for the life of me remember where it was or exactly what it said to avoid

I'll be changing the engine soon and the sub-frame will be spaced to suit so it'll need a bit more to get the suspension right.

Currently I have: AW11 Manual Rack, OEM PS Inner Tie rods and Outers, OEM PS Knuckles, 20mm (I think) RCAs, OEM LCAs.

New proposed setup: AW11 Manual Rack, Hardrace Inner Over Angle tie rods (integrated 5mm Spacer), T3 Outers, OEM PS Knuckles, CBradley Adjustable LCAs.

I don't want/need MEGA lock, I was happy with the lock I had but wasn't sure if the 5mm spacers on the Inners would make the steering a little twitchy with Manual rack and PS knuckles.

Or can anyone recommend decent Tie rods without integrated 5mm spacers?

Cheers in advance!

I have a question about rear half shaft .
Do you guys often brake that part ???
I don't have enough fingers on my hands to count the number I broke .....

I use Kouki rear axles , with a TRD 2way differential and a 4,7 gear end .
Engine power is about 135HP .

Thanks for your advices

I have a pretty decent condition 86 sr-5 with a 3tc, dual weber carbs, rear disk brakes, I believe i have a manual rack, new exhaust, no cancerous rust, just a little surface rust. I have 4 matching wheels 13" tetas, and a pair of replica tetas 14". So far, I know i'm way better off than a lot of people with their new drift cars. I had to replace the battery (i put in an economical one), the brake booster, new wagner ebrake lines, it needs new pads in the front, possibly rotors in the back, some of the brake lines are cracking, the suspension looks old and shot, and the clutch isn't in the best of condition. I'm gonna have someone weld the differential (I've already decided on this, don't talk me out of it lol, best for my budget, and I don't wanna deal with another axle)

With all that said, and with your guys opinions on more drive time, what do you recommend? I will have 4,000 US dollars to budget in February to spend on whatever more or less (I'm in college, so it would have to last the next 6 months or so). My daily driver currently has blown piston rings and I drive about 400 miles a week, so if this ae86 can be a daily driver, that'd be great. I've been looking to buy the Megan coilovers for 1200 US dollars with the spindles attached, that would take care of the suspension, I'd also replace the bushings, 110 US dollars. Brake lines are pretty cheap, but if I replace em, I figure braided lines, or should I not worry about them? Should I just drive on the suspension I have until something goes? I also need new locks for my car, Solex 75 US dollars. I need an overflow tank, ??$$$?? If i get the coilovers, I'd get an RCA while I'm at it. I'd get the cheap Ebay strut bar for the rear, maybe front.
I don't have bucket seats, harness's, or roll bars/cages.

I personally enjoy working on my car, so I like to buy parts here and there just to keep me busy. If you guys don't think I have enough money to really accomplish much in drifting yet, then I'll just work on replacing parts, body kit, paint job, etc etc... I'm a college student, tight budget.

I'm also curious to know how much you guys spend on a drifting weekend? Here, events cost 50-70$, gas is 3.35$ per gallon, and how ever much for tires (used like 15-25$ each), so I figured a day at the track could EASILY cost 200 bucks, and that's without replacing anything that brakes lol. How do you guys go to and from the events? Do you drive the drifting car, or tow?]]>

So yeah... Yesterday was the day of my dreams!!!

First of all I had a 6 year anniversary with my Wifey (6 years together).
And also the complete day (around 7 hours) of drifting practise at RDW testcentre Lelystad.

OMG I wanna go back allready and the best fun I had in ages!
Ofcourse my Wifey is the whole number 1 spot - but drifting and doing stuff with the car definetly hits the 2nd HAHAHA.

Even Vernon (driftpinda.nl) did 3 laps on a set out course with my Levin coupe and goddamnnnnnn that shit was awesome!!!
Normally I get major car sick - but this was sooo absolutely cool that nothing happened and all I did was scream of joy!

I am getting sentimental as we speak but I have fallen in love!!!
I still feel my body shaking of the angles from yesterday.
Tho I wasn't THAT good - the instructors said I wasnt that BAD either - especially for a beginner in a (very) hard car to drive!

OMG I am goin back SO SOON!!! SOME pictures :
ps. I just ordered some RCA's cuz I got pissed off at the bumpsteer...

This pure out of interest... I have been watchin D1GP vids NONSTOP.
I am in love with the Trueno Coupe from Tets Hibino...

The gray car with UP GARAGE stickers on it etc.

All the help is welcome! Been searching the net for quite some time now unable to find anything.]]>

I see/read a lot of topics but I am not a technical guy tho I try my best to understand and learn.
The stories are mixed so my question to this lovely community who always seem to amaze me with their hospitality I ask :

What is the best setup for an Levin Coupe to drift / daily drive...

I know that my 4age is strong and I love it but I am saving up money and selling everything I have in life except my GF and wanna go for some more power...

I know a 4agze is one of the best choices but the engine is pretty hard to come by and its pretty expensive too.

For the 4age robokill said : other diff (2way kaaz) and other oil cooler and radiator... please fill in wherever you guys want.

But what about turbo-setups / a silvertop + turbo for example.
One says : NOOO GO for a blacktop - the other says : silvertop is better.

What do you guys think is a good solid set up - and I would like to hear more than one...

Again - thank you so much to help me out if you do.
This will help for my purchase cuz I am pretty serious of doing something with my beloved baby!]]>
