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.

FlamingGuts

i was just wondering

Dorifc3s

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.

g_dripht-alex

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

Dorifc3s

exactly.



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