ok so I've finally joined the *e7* crowd.
I traded my corona with oni-70 and got a pretty nice ready to go ae71, CS-X model :2thumbs: . apart from the general maintanance things, rust issues and genuine cracked dash it's a clean, good nick vehicle. I was surprised to find that the 4ac would rev quite easily to 7g. I will be putting in a different engine sometime in the future however cause lets face it, 4ac is shit.
I took the car for test run on the weekend and after trying to drift this thing at 80km/h+ and flying into the grass a few times I decided it was time to go for something more race orientated. as great as the ajps gear is for a street setup it just wont cut the cake.
out goes all of the suspension... by wednesday the modification list should be as follows.

FRONT
tein HR coilovers
ca18 brakes
uerothane caster bushings
camber plates

REAR
ford falcon pedders sports rydar springz
suzuki sierra shox of some style
whiteline adjustable panhard
rose jointed adjustable upper links

THE REST
my homemade strutbrace special
locker
very very advanced ignition
advan onis
supoutsu wheel

lol jeez people give me a chance to get them up. after calder on wednesday ill have pics, maybe even vids.
car seriusly needs a wheel allignment and maybe some better rear shox cause atm something is seriously wrong. when the car flix back from a drift it feels heaps more severe then the rona did, and it also shoots off one direction or the other, the wheel wont completely centre itself.

its very unpredictable during slides, dont know why.

oh and caster and toe.

You even drove your car hard without a wheel alignment!? I won't even go hard on the street without a wheel alignment let alone the track! Put all your problems down to your misalignment (you changed the entire struts ffs!).

I'd be interested to know the specs of the suspension that was in it originally....

keiichi
3rd July 2007, 02:04 AM
well it had 7-8kg/mm front springs with kyb excel g's. rear had 4.5kg/mm with excel g's. t18 struts, xt130 LCA's. super pro caster lca bushings. whiteline panhard. tercel 17mm rear sway, (which needs adjusting cause the links are at an angle).

Hokey
4th July 2007, 01:48 AM
when you gonna let me drive the shit? come out to the east side again for some vigilante slide :lol:

KonaKid: the car felt ver wierd at higher speed and the wheel would not self centre at all making it very hard to drift with. zac had max castor and i think 1mm toe out. not sure one the exact camber figures but i don't think it was much but the car had fairly bad understeer. just with the old suspension in the thing was just really hard and unpredictable to drive.

im hoping the reason why it was understeering so bad last night was just the tyres.
when i get the car as good as the rona minus power ill go for some "vigilante slides". pray for rain :2thumbs:

its a sign.

im buying a corona and putting all the the suspension in it. ill use the advans and get some bolt one spacers for the rear. massive track with flared gaurds all round. fender mirrors and bosu pipe. jap taxi stylez. the one im looking at is in sydney http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...p;rd=1&rd=1 (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=015&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&viewitem=&item=250140614509&rd=1&rd=1) and ill be in sydney tomorrow by coincedence. looks really ghey atm but with some work and decent suspension i could enter some amatuer comps in this (if they ever dicide to have one in vic). NOTE it has 90kw at the rears. god knows how much torque it has. it would prob have about the same power to weight ratio as a silvia ca18det.

Brendo
12th July 2007, 08:31 PM
hey man just ventered over to the rides section lol, sure it got wrote, sucks balls hey..

about your steering acting weird and the wheel not self-centreing itself, i think thats just s13 setup for ya, have you cut off the lock stoppers on the s13 lca's? cos if you do and you push the lock past them it's harder to bring back, im going to leave mine on see how much lock i can still get. yeah go the rona...was it just meant to be? lol

stanzzza
12th July 2007, 11:19 PM
no no no brendo

with the s13 gear it was much more responsive if anything it was a major improvement over the crappy toyota/ajps shit but the tyres were fubar

keiichi
12th July 2007, 11:23 PM
it wasnt centering itself because it had TOYOTA suspension. it was quite good and didnt get gheysteer with s13 gear. i will always use s13 gear.
im not buying this corona, it's not worth it. too thrashed i think. but i will buy a rona soon cause they are simply better and as fast as an ae86 sprinter and just as quality... dont doubt it! :D

also, i will have TWO ae71's for sale soon ;) will be good deals (y)

Brendo
12th July 2007, 11:35 PM
of course it owns ajps/toyota front end lol, i run s13 gear myself i reckon it's sick shit... but some reason the setup doesnt wind the lock off as easy as ud like... thats what I've found anyway

MountainRunner
12th July 2007, 11:44 PM
what 2 ae71's ?

stanzzza
12th July 2007, 11:48 PM
OMFG some one who agrees with me and zac S13 for the motherfucking gangbanging win #####h

brendo i put it down to the increase in castor is spastic compard to toyota gear

13th July 2007, 03:19 PM
sorry to hear about the ae71 death, skinny...
Time for a stanza maybe? :P
plenty of castor = better self centering steering
I still dont belive that stiff springs = crazy racecar handling zomg!!!11one ffs
As for ae71 understeer, driver error :ph34r:

14th July 2007, 02:15 AM

hahah hook,line and sinker sam. I knew Id get someone
v8 supercars also weight a fuckload more than a corolla, and dont get driven around on shitty tullamarine/essondon roads.
Any news on new rona??

keiichi
17th July 2007, 07:28 PM
the rona is crap. well it's not that bad. pretty quick. but is thrashed and feels tired. sick of stuffing around with half dead cars. I'm going to get something fresh hopefully. so yeah I'm on the market for a rona prob. they just feel a hell of a lot more quality then corollas. I used to say in the past that ae71's and ae86's were essentially the same but I take that back, the ae86 just has a quality feel about it... like coronas...... quality is what you want. corolla = crappy recycled sheet metel cutting cost on labour shell.

oh and dan driver error no. I think I did pretty good considering I had bald hard compound sun worn super crappy tires on the front. I was left foot braking weight transfer shift lock etc etc to correct it and I did half the time. I put new tyres on the front and it transformed it.

17th July 2007, 07:48 PM

You did well considering your tyre problem and lack of experience in the little corolla

18th July 2007, 10:29 PM
I reckon Part out the Green one you chould make around 400 and get Red 1 chuck the advans on and cut the springs and sell it for 2-3K :P

works510
18th July 2007, 10:46 PM
sell the soarer ay, possibly due to the fact I'm in major debit now due to a new turbo on the 1600, going halfies with my bro in buying another 1600, car rego, fine for "not maintaining full control of vehical" ffs.
How badly damaged are the advans, width and offset?

19th July 2007, 01:59 AM

the rear quarters are fucked. they were pulled in and so the boot doesnt close over them. we pushed it back out and taped the boot down, thatll do for now. the whole car is giving me the shits. I almost hate corollas with a passion now.
