talk to aphxero, he knows the most about corollas in these parts.

For now AW11 short strokes up front , Camaro in the back form T3 tunning with coilovers .

Ultime maybe some sort fo Tokico HTS short stroke setup .

[aphxero]

Shouldn't this be in toyota tech?

My first advice to you is...

Get bushings. Get bushings. Get bushings. And also make sure the brake pads and clutch are decent.


Here's some bushings: http://www.tmengineering.net/suspension/prothane/make/toyota.html

Also, do you live in tampa?

[ninja999]

yeah i live in tampa. i wanted an idea of a good suspension set up for drifting i put it in this forum from people with a little more experienced. i appreciate all the info that i can get.

ditto,same setup i have aw11 and camaro agx's, coilovers and trd springs.get coilovers all around if u have the money if not trd japan's in the rear

whats your budget? does it have a diff? if not, get a diff, some springs, but nothing stiffer then like 5.5-6kgmm and if u can find some HTSs, good, if not, get some AGXs. some 195/60/14s azenis for the front (edge racing is like $100 shipped for 2) and get some camber plates as rollas dont have factory camber adjustment, but rollas still drift fine with no camber. once you get that shit, chime back in.

[aphxero]

you should drive other people's cars to see what it feels like with different setups.

oh and read this: http://www.club4ag.com/faq%20and%20tech_pages/ae_86_light_tune_guide.htm

ohhhh really.

Ninja999: you should come to the next corolla meet. Corolla people are usually really open about what they have and probably wouldn't mind showing you.

I think I can speak for myself on the whole knowing shit thing. It's probably for the past 3 years all I've done is read about them and work on them.

I know stuff but not everything. Bill has been at it longer than I have and is a more experienced mechanic. I gotta give credit where it's due.

Of course we all know there's some 60 year old puerto rican guy somewhere that knows the size/thread pitch of every bolt and any other crazy detail about them.

Never underestimate the Boricua. They know what's up when it comes to toyotas.

[Matt Vassallo]

sorry about that bill, i hardly see you in ths forum so i figure i would mention the guy thats in here more.

[n2ocamry]

yeah what they said

[ninja999]

thanks alot and hopefully i'll try to go to the next meet

[marksaccord95]

and come out to DDAY3, even if u dont drive, just come up and ask some/one of us rollaers with a decent setup for a ride.

[Geoffrie]

I seem to be the corolla drifter (/bmw wall hitter) around here and I have a unused set of tokico hts...

my aim is toyotageoffrie - lets talk

[ninja999]

i will try to go to dday 3 hopefully get to meet some people and chill. geoffrie i will im u later on tonight
