bunkyT18 Forums Junkie Location: Pilbara Registered: November 2004	Re: Dedicated to TE72 T-18 Fri, 19 August 2005 06:27 There is no way that the T18 is one of the worst handling cars of the '80s! There are a score of POS that handle worse than the T18 from the same era. Anyone who has driven a Starion, Cordia, EXA or ET pulsar would testify that the T18 shines compared to many cars from that era. Shit, even your RX7 savannah handles like a dangerous bastard compared to the T18. If anything, I find the stock handling setup to be a little on the 'safe' side. True the T18 was negected when the toyota creators were handing out the brakes, but that is easily rectified too. Being a Toyota, there is a host of 2nd hand parts from other toys that will upgrade it. Lets not forget that the '80's was a period lost to a lot of common sense in a number of ways, for instance, this was the period of time when 'Understeer is safer than oversteer'and other such madness was being hyped by marketing dudes trying to sell FWD cars. Of course, they only get better when you apply some judicious suspension and steering mods. Like most cars of the era it was certainly flawed in many ways, yet at the same time the T18 offers very cheap thrills because of it's ability to be transformed by relatively inexpensive mods. My pet projets that I will eventually do are to build turbo 3TEU and a tough high compression 3TC. As far as looks go, once again it's in the eye of the beholder. Lets not forget that less than 10 years ago, sprinters were laughed at by a majority of Jap muscle fans because of their looks and lightweight power output. [Report message to a moderator]
