Re: Dodgy Haro's Boro AE86 - Drift Pig for $5k - One more time!	Sun, 29 August 2004 12:31

Wow ... so many replies - don't get hopes up fellas ... I get the feeling this one could take a while to put together, probably over the Christmas break or something. That's what you get when you expect your mates to lend a hand and you pay peanuts in return. Couple of comments: 1) Yes, I am fortunate to have access to some car space - I just have to remain on good terms with the missus. 2) Skaney - yes, it is hard to take your car to the limit on the public roads. I have a few times and then realised soon afterwards how badly things could have turned out if something did go wrong ... keep things on a track where the danger is minimised. 3) Monkeymajik - Middle Earth is actually New Zealand (LOTR). Get in touch with Deane Buist who will be able to hook you up with the part. His email is: deaneb@palmside.co.nz I don't have the actual part number but you can grab that from the product catalogue off the Quaife UK website. Just remember their AE86's are referred to as a Corolla GT, not a Sprinter. 4) Satoshi - that notorious yellow AE86 has been featured in all the newsagent car mags lately. I have seen it go from a $900 4ac purchase to a real $5k drift warrior in about 3 months. It's going to be painted pink now I think: http://www.initialdrift.com.au/forums/viewtopic.ph p?t=1712 I have not spoken with the owner directly re his setup but know it's similar to what SimonRX7 uses as well as a mate of mine - Sigma arms on the front and he uses cut Falcon GT springs at the rear. Not exactly parts you'd get straight off the self but a bit of a custom job. 5) Simon - I am so spewing that the LSD is not in there. You are right in that you can only get it to really slide in the wet however since going to the skid pan, I am learning NOT to use the handbrake in the wet. Handbrake's are like an on/off button in the wet. I can see myself using it in the dry however a fast entry in the wet is just asking for some oversteer fun however if I go too fast, my current setup results in understeer - blaming the huge whiteline swaybar + soft shocks / springs for it. 6) Garth + Simon - colour not decided but will be el cheapo. Definitely not black but it will probably come down to either orange or yellow. Cream did cross my mind either doing it similar to the Dropout Racing coupe as per the pic or doing a levin version of Ueo's infamous Sift / Revolver / Yukes trueno however I doubt I can be bothered spending time to come up with the vinyl graphics! It certainly won't be a panda this time for sure! [Updated on: Sun, 29 August 2004 12:42] [Report message to a moderator]
