Re: T3 Lightweight Pulleys
I seem to remember a debate longgg ago from another chassis forum about lightweight pulleys. The obvious claim was that a lighter pulley would in theory mean that the rotational mass, and thus friction from the pulley would be reduced, and less of a load on a pulley and less of a load transferred w...

T3 Lightweight Pulleys
So ... I have a leaking water pump gasket and decided to do a little "overhaul" and replace the drive belts, timing belt, etc. With that being said, I was thinking about upgrading to T3's lightweight alternator pulley, waterpump pulley, and crank pulley. Does anyone here have any experienc...

Re: what happened to the community
its all really up to us to keep it alive, its up to our old asses haha, cuz honestly the average age of the 86 owner is 30 and up lol, see very few youngsters and most young owners just own them briefly well atleast here in Cali. But i think car culture here in Cali in general is a shadow of what i...

Re: AE86 ride height adjustment
Unfortunately I've found there's no way around this other than getting down and dirty. I'm super anal about my ride height being equal all around so you have no clue how many hours I've spent jacking the car up, fiddling with the rings, setting the car down, measuring, etc. Ran into this issue when ...

Re: Opinions on Sr5 20v swaps vs GTS 20v swaps and conversions and everything else
Im pretty anal about the little details. I don't know if I could drive a SR5 conversion, even if it were 100% GTS spec. If someone does do a conversion, they gotta have the matching decals for sure. Although, it bothers me a little bit when I see GTS guys running Trueno bumpers and badges. I underst...

Re: what happened to the community
I think the club is just seeing a change at the moment, but i believe in the near future C4AG will see a return but in a different way. The reason i say this is because the 86 is stepping into "classic car" territory, just like many cult cars before it, like the bmw 2002, datsun 510, rx3,...

Re: Fortune Auto Coilovers Review 2017
On paper fa seems like great option, especially considering the supposed 'ae86 specific' tuning, digressive valving, and being made in usa. However, if they tuned it for an ae86 why offer 8/6k default rates? They answer is marketing... everyone else does it so they prop figured they'd scare away po...

Re: Fortune Auto Coilovers Review 2017
Also another thing I would like to point out about these coilovers, is the height adjustment. I think this is something that many people look over when it comes to suspension. You're able to adjust the height by rotating the shock body up/down within the mounting brackets / spindle. This, in my opin...

Re: Fortune Auto Coilovers Review 2017
Some interesting thoughts here :) Both ends of the spectrum are reasonablly well defined (rally spec vs drift spec). So long stroke vs short stroke, soft vs hard... what is not so well defined is the happy medium... the setup that allows some degree of driver comfort but is still stiff enough for c...

Re: Fortune Auto Coilovers Review 2017
7/4.5k is the way to go IMHO. That being said, 8/6k rates are just insane on this chassis. One will need serious tires to get the most out of it. Problem is rates that stiff and tires that sticky will put some major stress on this tin can of a chassis. Either on their own nis bad enough, but both t...

Wait ... What? Lol.
In theory this makes sense, I'd be very interested to see how this plays out. Especially toying with the TPS and MAP sensor(s).
I've never seen/heard this being done before?!
