    Default Blank Canvas

    If you were a designer of the ae86, knowing what you know now, what would you change?

    id tap into more parts swappability with the bigger brothers like the nissan guys. wouldnt bother with the irs.... its meant to be a cheap quick throwaround car and i think unless they pulled it from another platform it would up the price too much.

    maybe if i was goin nuts id look to improve the rear platform with something like dimitri's rear end. Equal length arms out to the side as far as possible to still allow a useable interior space, but improve adjustability and rear traction.

    More chasis rigidity. Obviously need to be clever about this one as the easiest way to do this is to add material, but that would increase the weight.

    I'd make sure Australia got the twin-cam version.
