No pistons !
Alright there people.Im after buying a white Ae86 Trueno and im looking to have it set up completly for drifting here in Ireland as ive a Levin as my road car already.This is a pic of my Levin http://server2.uploadit.org/files/JoeAe86Irl-Imag0227.jpg

Looking for info/help on what to spend my money on.

What is the best suspension seut up.?
Ive Cusco coil overs with adj camber plates on the front of my Levin and Trd 8way adj on the back.Not sure on the spring rate thou.

Any ideas are welcome :thumbs:

Thanks

Oh no chance lads my Levin or any bits from it aint or sale.The Levin is my daily drive and the Trueno is going to be me drift bitch.Ive an old geezer calling me every few months asking me to selll it to him. No hope :D
 
thats a lovely levin you got there, where did u pick up the trueno from?

if you dont have bucket seats and harnesses already then give them a shot, it will hold your body much better mid drift

if you dont have a decent L.S.D then mabe replace it with a dcent one, maybe a trd 2-way or ive herad you can fit the dif and rear half axles from the older generation supra!

then strip it out and get a roll cage which is a requirment for d1 drifting.

follow the link in my sig to the irish drifting site!
 
The Levin sounds pretty spot on for drift too :D

Up front you cant go wrong with Tokico HTS dampers or TRD SS Blue's (8-ways the same as the Levin). Cusco/Tein/TechoToyTuning Camber Plates are all fine and the same really, all allow about -3 deg. of Camber depending on ride height. Cusco/TTT/BattleVersion RCA's are all good. If i remember right the Cusco and TTT ones are 30mm and the BV ones are 40mm. Stock Tension rods allow you to adjust the caster so you can pull that forward a bit.
TTT do a full coilover conversion with KYB AGX shocks and are supposed to be good (and cheap for a nice conversion) but ive heard they struggle with stiffer spring rates. I think TTT will install HTS for you if you ask.

For the rear, again Tokico HTS or TRD SS shocks are great.

Springs, anything that allows you to specify Spring rate is good, so that basically rules out all UK products, bar custom ones. They are all too high at the rear and need cutting, and i would go for adjustable coilovers up front so you can trim the hieght to suit. TRD, KG/MM, RSR, Espiler etc all seem to be good. Spring rates depend on the driver. 6 front and 4.5 rear seems popular, as does 8 front and 6 rear... Irish roads are quite hard tho so it depends where you want to use the car really..

Anyway, hope that helps a bit.

Paz
