I have a 80 toyota carolla 1.8 2dr. and everybody keeps telling me i can't drift it b/c its to short w/b.....wtf is up with that? i've played around a little and found out that with a little work like a limited slip diff etc. the car will get sideways very easily. the way it is now i can drift it a little. not initial D style but slydeways.....

 

im just gonna say, cool icon.. i guess. if your lonely.

 

you need more horsepower, and need to learn how to spell corolla in your signature!!

 

oops.........corolla........


besides power anything else???

 

yeah good luck with that.


drifter mentality:

do what is cheapest, easiest, and most effective.

right now only thing that falls into that category is S13. Corolla GT-S a distant second because its hard to find and expensive replacement parts in the rear end. 3rd is FC chasis because rotary does not equal reliable drift motor.

we got screwed over here...worse on east coast. until you know how to drift i find it more pointless to give yourself a harder road to travel...but to each his own.

lastly if u dont have the power or LSD, just wait until rainy season again. when u do start to learn, please, do it in a large parking lot where u dont have to worry about hitting too much stuffs. also, if the parking lot is shiny, it means its weather coated. that = easy drifts. GO SLOW!@!@!


rinse repeat

 

i say he learn on us19 during rush hour

 

1.8 Corolla is basically a older AE86 , not quite but it is hte same chassis attributes .

Short wheelbase
Solid Axle Rear
Decent front suspension design

This car alot of people actually slide around for fun in aussie , They do 4AG or 18RG motor swaps and do ITB or Carbs plus other mods .

Get a Decent LSD of some sort , I belive some of the 1.8s come with diffs , if you do your lucky . I belive yours is a 2Door right ? Blue ? On its nuts ?

Maybe try adn get some pratice in , thats the best way to start , dont do it in populated areas / be a retard .

More practice teh better you get . Your going to need a better chassis to get really into sliding here in the US , So just remember that . a S13 or GTS is in your future , YOu should have never sold the AE85 to Edwin lol

 

yes its blue, 2dr, and low.....i don't think it has a diff. but now that i know that some came stock i will look for one. that 84 corolla was a P.O.S. i'm glad edwin traded me STR8UP for the 80 corolla. does ne1 know of wheels for sale that will fit on the toyota? and thanks for the tips!!!

i don't know about wheels.....but if you want to drift....wait untill they start the practice sessions and what not.....then you can go out there and learn with out putting yourself or anyone else in danger.

 

practice sessions where? when?
