swampgarage Posted June 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Super dirt turbo engage! Went to our first event this weekend after fitting the 4age. Worn out tyres were a let down, but damn the engine goes hard. Starting to wonder if it really is stock. No problems, ran perfectly and came home with barely a scratch. We ditched the t18 rear springs and monroe gas shocks on day 1 as the car felt a bit unstable and was prone to spinning. We put the TRD springs back in, and a pair of long stroke, TRD blue race shocks. Much more stable, but this meant we just spun at much higher speed! Other thing that was apparent was the severe lack of steering lock. Pic above is at full lock! So, before the next one we'll convert to ae86 power steering arms and maybe a lock spacer.

snot35 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Yeah, you guys are making it REALLY hard for me to persist with the 4K in mine :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swampgarage Posted June 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 (edited) The 4age makes things much more exciting. Down low its got more pickup than the 4k had and once the revs get up, it goes nuts. Edited June 25, 2012 by swampgarage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swampgarage Posted June 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Beat me to it. I knew there something out at Willowbank. Probably others around too. Seems to be a pretty common low budget motorsport. We're mostly into tarmac racing, but this is great fun and a good use for all those leftover parts.

swampgarage Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 There's a bitumen sprint day coming up this weekend and all but one of the ae86s are still down. Our poor ke70 has kindly offered to take their place. While it was great for offroad use, we couldn't take it out on the racetrack with that setup, so we've made a few changes. T18 struts and brakes out. AE86 coilovers with massive bilstein shocks, JDM ae86 brakes and QFM A1RM pads. AE86 power steering arms, new tie rods, rack ends and lock spacer. Has about double the amount of lock it had before. Strut tower brace T3 short shift kit Ice tyres off, Federal 595 RS-R's on Just needs wheel alignment, oil change and rear swaybar installed. Its only temporary though - next week we have to change it all back again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.L.Z.BUB Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Simple addition of decent rims and it looks better than most E7's on this site :P Probably made it worth at least 15k if the current prices are anything to go by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
