Grant's AE71

[v-tec]

I have always been interested in sprinters but really couldnt find one when it came time to get my licence. Anyway, since i already have a day car ive been keeping an eye out for a AE corolla which are signifiacntly cheaper than sprinters. This is the one i have bought







Engine:
a wicked stock 4ac engine

Suspension:
Chopped falcon springs all round
Sierra rear shocks
Ra60 front shocks with gt4 short strokes
sigma control arms

inside:
good old australian earl 80's styling - green dash and blue panels
momo steering wheel
sprinter drivers seat

Feet:
some random 14" rims with new tires
currently has almost balled tires on the rear that used to be on my prelude

Future mods:
4age engine of some sort
maybe coilover and such... but depends on how much i want to spend on an old car

at the moment its just a pig that i will be taking to the track every QR day and sometimes out for some urban drives

hopefully it will become quite the drift car

[mumblezzz]

Thats Chris' old car right? The suspension is the old setup out of the flat black KE70 I drove at drift nats. RA60 front struts with celica GT4 short strokes and chopped falcon springs with sigma control arms. The rear is like you said sierra shocks with falcon springs.

next best thing to a spritner. I would have bought one for myself.
ask Beau Yates for the ae86 suspension($500).
lock you diff and you can start drifting.
my sprinter drift with locker diff. well only two round.
i killed it after doing burn out on the spot.

it should be fun

[v-tec]

sure is. haha, you know more bout my car than i do

im hopeing to get it up to QR this weekend, however, i need a trailer. I can hire one, but its expensive... So ill just have to see

[Sprinterboy]

nice car mate
What are the sierra shocks like?

[v-tec]

Pretty decent, theyre pretty stiff shocks. I havent driven the car too much, as its unregister atm

But, as soon as it is ill definately be out seening how the car goes

[drft86]

nice car you got there

im sure it's gonna be a lot of fun

we might have to get some tandem drift happening

[v-tec]

absolutely, im really hoping to get up there. Screw the costs etc. i just wanna have some fun. Plus i think its the last drift day at QR for this year

[slide86]

cool project car man

[v-tec]

oh, you can count on that... just a matter of how sideways with the 4ac

But will be certainly trying on saturday
