Hi guys,
This question has probably been asked a million times before, but i'm looking to buy a cheap ae86 for drift that already has a 4AGE (100 kw), i currently have a nissan 180sx with coilovers mechanical lsd, braces and so on, i've been doing some drifting with it with (www.initialdrift.com.au) at oran park and EC and i really wanna compete but i'm to scared to smash up a 15k car in a tandem drift. I just wanted to know what type of suspension setup these cars have from the factory, i'm assuming that the rear end is live axle not IRS? If that's the case is that suitable for drift and if it is, what do i do stiffen it up, is it possible to install coilovers without swapping rear ends or making drastic changes to control arms, hubs, tie rods etc?
Also in terms of suspension mods to assist in drifting, is it the same formula that i would apply to say my car, whereby, you'd have heaps of braces, lots of camber on the front, lost of caster to allow the steering wheel to correct really quickly, obviously really stiff spring rates and so forth and a working handbrake??
Can you guys also suggest a price i should pay for a car that already has a 4ag conversion and some other goodies, things i should look out for??
The other reason why i wanna buy one is that i have a soft spot for old skool jap wheels, i've got a set of watanabe rs8's and what better way to show em off then to put em on a sprinter!
