meshmesh, the trueno is a legandary drift car in Japan, immortalised by the likes of an animated tv show called 'initial D' and the fact that apparently they are awesome to drive. :cheers:

ae86 are god cars because their a cult car in japan. Think about it, 950 kg, rwd, short wheel base. Their a classic toyota. It was keichi tsuchiya which helped bring them to glory, he used to do downhill touge with his ae86. He was able to defeat pretty much any car on the downhill ala initial d. And the sound of a na 1.6 revving its guts off is awesome

The AE86 is nothing more than just a fad here in Australia.

Maybe its something in Japan, it certainly isnt here in Australia. If it wasnt for Initial D, no one would give a shit about it.

That car is ugly, an absolute piece of shit. It belongs at the fkn wreckers. The paint scheme is ugly and so are the mags.

That is my opinion and I am entitled to it, no I am not jealous. If you must flame me, do so, then afterwards, please read my signature.

Thank You.

Thanks Guys :D

Obaybe, I understand my car is not for everyone. If you don't like it, that's cool. I didn't buy it for you, or anyone else and I didn't buy it because of Initial D.

You're not the first to hate it and not the last.

All I can say is see you on the street.

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
