    My toy is built for Grip work. Hillclimb (hence the bigger charger = no lag )

    Will get it back to WP soon.

    im not one to buy into the spring rate argument, i havnt been around long enough.

    i just rate driving my car drift is certainly fun and a great way to get out... but grip is mad fun, finding limits and keeping pace.

    but in terms of springs, id worry less about them and more about shocks.... adjusting shocks is where its at in terms of cars attitude over irregularities in the road... my 2c though

    I guess i have to like grip, cause drifting is pretty hard in my car...

    I wouldn't mind giving it a shot but.

    King springs fail at road use too, might be good on one of those roads in the desert though.

    Yea my goal with my ke70 is to make it a respectable street machine.
    Not by attaching the drift thrasher name to it, but rather making it a smartly set up car for grip.
    Its good to see people recognize that these corollas can also be compotent grip machines...

    i love grip, have done a handfull of grip prac days and been out to 2 john bowe 'high performance' drive days, which are really good value for money if you ever get the chance. Many more laps in a day, more relaxed atmosphere, can take instructors passenger etc. I say this because i cant skid though.

    It's pretty awesome being able to push your limits and only end up in the dirt when you fuck up. Hope to take 81 out late feb and march, and as many prac days as my work roster allows. Would love to see some of the guys on here come out.
