Hey all,
New here so guess I had better start with what seems to have become like tradition in this forum.. What will I need in order to drift a '85 RA65 Toyota Celica, it's fitted with a 22R-E engine, has a fair bit of power (compared to what I'm used to driving anyway, a Ford Mondeo), and RWD.. Now as far as I know the car doesn't have an LSD, but I have read that the LSD from the same year Supra will bolt straight up.. If anyone has seen/performed this mod please let me know what other parts I'd need to rip out of a donor car?
Ok now to the question I really meant to ask, what advantages does an AE86 have over a Celica that makes it so popular and the Celica so.. Not? The Celica looks very similar, and perhaps weighs a bit more, but where I live (Australia) a decent import Sprinter is fetching $10k+ whereas I'm getting the Celica for a little over 2k.. Is the 86 really that much lighter? Does it offer better weight distribution? Is the 4A-GE really such a beast (the one I heard running sounded pretty dismal!)? Is the chassis rigider (Is that even a word??)? Or is it that everyone wants to be a tofu delivery boy?
What do I need to rival this evil 86? How can I make my car a 'Roku-Go'?!
Please help me overcome this fearsome foe!!
