mumblezzz Posted September 6, 2004 Author Report Posted September 6, 2004 Buy yourself some sticky rubber for the front and some crap for the rear and you will be surprised at what a stocker can do. You would be wasting your time buying a stock AE86 and modifying it from there. The AE71 is a 4 door AE86. Most mechanical parts are transferrable and luckily body parts are cheaper and more common. It would be cheaper to buy an 86 already modded. Than to purchase a car as well as add mods. Quote
Teddy Posted September 6, 2004 Report Posted September 6, 2004 Very, Very true. If poo goes, i will certainly miss it ! Ae71neo - if you like the 2 door theme, ever considered a 2 door ke7* / Ae7* / Te7* ? *oh crap, i better keep on topic* Quote
Medicine_Man Posted September 6, 2004 Report Posted September 6, 2004 But the AE71 vs. AE86 dillema is still in my head :P KE70/AE71 have a stronger chassi to work with, in my opinion, my ke70 springs just need to be a little stiffer, and a tad lower just to cancel a fair bit of my body roll. nick can vouch for the body roll my car gets with its f@$ked suspension, i even believe matt may have a picture of my excessive body roll when cornering.. it was great when all my suspension was new though.. i'm looking into a similar set up as paul, RA65 struts with adjustable coilovers, going to need the bigger brakes with my engine conversion when i do it.

Teddy Posted September 6, 2004 Report Posted September 6, 2004 lol As requested 1 x body roll :P :P Quote
ae71neo Posted September 6, 2004 Report Posted September 6, 2004 (edited) I have a pair of 15x7 Buddy Clubs with pirelli something on them. I put them on one day and it was amazing how different it felt, and the oversteer is much easier, but i still felt the suspension and lack of lsd was a factor. We can use your ae86 as example, 4ac stiff as suspension and that thing slides well. Does the T-18 rear end fit straight under the ae71 as it does in a ae86? Yeah I'm thinking poo...

Teddy Posted September 6, 2004 Report Posted September 6, 2004 "got bump stops :P :P" Ahh, a good day :P Neo - (the T-18 rear end fit straight under the ae71 as it does in a ae86? Yeah I'm thinking poo...) - after doing reading, I'm pretty sure it does. Quote
