Hey guys, it's to my understand that the first gen Mazda RX7 had a watts linkage installed from factory, can anyone confirm this?

If so, if the linkage was ripped off an RX7, would it be possible to fabricate a way of installing it onto the rear of an 86?

Thanks!

I'll be running silver top ITBs

Hey guys, I just wanted to know your opinion on the largest streetable cams for a DD (but autoxed) ae86. I was leaning towards 288s, are those doable? What lift would you recommend? I was hoping to get up to a nice 8000-8500rpm red line (after all of the appropriate valve train modifications). Thank...

Thank you

Hey guys, I was recently looking up the Tokico HTS102 short stroke kit for the ae86 when I came across this: http://i.imgur.com/lPq9bQz.png There is a link for an 84 GTS and a 86 GTS On the 84 link this comes up: http://i.imgur.com/dut9sKI.png And on the 86 link this comes up: http://i.imgur.com/OIY...

Is there any difference in overall height of 195/60r14 and a 195/50r15?
What about a 195/60r14 and 195/55r15?
Thanks guys!

Thanks for the info!
Would you know if 195/60 r14 Dunlop star specs have a stiff enough side wall?

Hey guys, which do you prefer on your 86, 14s or 15s? I want to know as I'm curios for what I should run. I know that the 14s are lighter and reduce unsprung weight and also keep the 86 low, but I hear that the higher 195/60 r14 side wall sacrifices feeling and turn in due to flex. As for 15s the lo...

Anything over 205 width is overkill

Got zoom, I just wanted to clarify what you meant by overkill. Do you mean it will cause the car to be imbalanced or it just cost more for no noticeable advantage?

Thanks for the help guys! I guess I'll be running 14x7 0 et wheels with some Dunlop 195s at a stockish height. I really appreciate the help!

Here are my observations after working on setting up an AE86 for track and time attack use for over a year. 1. The car has a high center of gravity 2. The car has a lot of unspring weight 3. The car is camber challenged (due to item #1) 4. The setup information that everyone uses is 25 years old an...

Thanks! But I just wanted a simple "160hp or so" answer. Just so I can know where to set my goals

I know for certain the ae86 is not the fastest car in the world, many are pushed away by how slow it feels. But I wanted to know, is there a specific HP target one reaches where the ae86 begins to feel like it has some oomph to it?

As I mentioned earlier, I'm not looking to "stance" an ae86, a stanced ae86 is a wasted ae86. I said I'll be trying to get the center of mass/gravity low to aid with cornering. I couldn't care less about what my car looks like in a parking lot, if i did I would buy a VW. If you couldn't fi...

Apparently OBX makes ITBs too! Anyone heard about these at all? (Don't worry, I'm going with the 20v it route).

Hey guys, I was curious as to know the "perfect wheel size" for an ae86. With the help of Club4ag's expertise I've made up my mind that I either want to run 195/50r15s or 205/50r15s. What would you guys say would be the ultimate wheel size (width/offset) to fill out my fenders w/o scrubbin...

I use 195/60/14 Azenis 615k on my 14x9 TE37v for grip. I like them a lot and they are cheap for a set of four. If you are running 15" rims I would jump to a 205/50/15 tire, so many more choices. Drifting is all about personal preference/style of driving. I've run a few different setups, all on...

What's your opinion on the most enjoyable tire size for an AE86? What do you think would be better for an 86 making around 180hp, tuned mainly for grip but also drifts on the side for fun? Also open to any other tire sizes and brands.

Flip the air filter box lid!

Big thanks dude!

Hey guys, I just wanted to know; is there a proper name for these things? http://evolines.com/images/content/products_cars/ae86/jb_fins.jpg http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w70/christsang7/DSC02101.jpg http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w70/christsang7/AE86RearBumperSkirtsD.jpg All I know is that ...

Any guesses on what the mpg would come down to?

But many have seen improvements with modifications. Many people who turbo their cars see improvements in mpg due to the extra torque.

Just a quick question, I plan on running some decent sized cams in the future. Maybe 272/288 or 288/288 cams. How do you think they will affect the MPG (when tuned of course). I know its a general question but I'd just like to know if it would completely demolish my MPG, slightly lessen it or improv...

Thanks for the input fellas, definitely gonna have to look into that panhard reinforcement rod!

^Please let me know how that works out for you! And if it helps, I will be running tires like 225/50r15 Toyo Proxes R888 when autocrossing. I just want some good feedback on how an 86 would react to them. I might end up just trying it for myself and then making a review thread for anyone else who ma...

I was thinking of going with the hankook ventus v12 evo k110 for summer and maybe the Falken ziex ze912 for all seasons. I'm open to suggestions for summer and all season tires if anyone has any!

I was just curious as to know how an AE86 would respond to 225/50r15 tires on 15x8 (-10ish offset) wheels. The car will be a daily but will also be autocrossed. I've searched on other forums but no straight answers, some people are saying that they are too big for an AE86 and will affect the perform...
