and even then, its not going to be that fast in a straight line. i think you used to be able to find them for like $300. now they are like $2000 or something...

 

Both came in AE85 with SOHC 1.5 and AE86 with DOHC 1.6 and good suspension. same cars, different lights. and front end...basically.

 

It does have a nice little engine, I was even considering using one in the Locoblade - nothing wrong with individual throttle bodies and 8500rpm, a crowd called RAW engineering over here can get em up to 200bhp with not a huge amount of effort - which is pretty decent.



I agree though they're not up to a huge amount when they're in a Levin (or Corolla twin-cam as they're called over here), as far as I can see the only thing special about them is the fact that they're RWD and came with a LSD.

and they weigh what 2400lbs?

 

yeah, they're all hyped up

i dont really like them, waste of money for very little power

i was just wondering

 

drop in a AE101 20v 4AG- it has 160hp out of a 1.6L, give those Honda B-16 **** a run. oh yeah- duhhrrr the B-16 isnt the only 1.6L with 100hp per liter.

 

what this guy said...

 

The AE86 is a really good car to learn how to road race/drift with, solely for the fact that it is underpowered. It requires the driver to learn skill and technique to get the most out of that car. A good driver can make that car great.



However, Initial D-riceboys are jumping on the drifting bandwagon and trading in their Civics for Corollas, increasing the demand and skyrocketing the price of a 19yr old car to 5x times it's actual value. Thankfully, most haven't realized that the best deal out there is the FC.

 

they're scared of the FC because of the rotary....good it sucks everyone should stay away.

 

exactly.



"all i heard is bad bout dem rotaries...ima get me a 240...240...240...corolla...240...240"



most drift events round here are 240 shows.
