This 1982 TE72 was born as a sports tourer during that era. But this car wasnt suitable at that time because economy was going down. People only needs a normal family 4 door sedan such as KE70.
So this car suffers the consequences and only sold in the market with a small amount of production. Which is good as the car is a bit rare and expensive in the market. Which is good for me and other TE owners!
Since i already bought the car, might as well drift the car.
This car only supporting a 4AGE 16V and a 2-way LSD. Underneath it hides nothing, only a pair of hi-lo adjustable at the front, which is rubbish.
I joined speedcity event for couple of times now, the reason i joined is to test my car capability and to understand how the chassis work with a standard setup. From there i can understand how stiff i want my car to be, how much angle i need and how much power i need to floor up the track.
Even the size of the rims and tires effects the handling. 15" on all four are rather heavy. I tried 15" at the front and 14" at the back, the angle was sharp but its still heavy and understeer will occur at some time
14" on four is the best so far, but since my car is underpowered, sometimes i need to use 13" at the back. However, it all depends on the track layout and condition. And that is all i can explain as the setting i have is only to keep changing tire size. I dont have camber setup, caster, soft-hard etc..
From what i can see on my previous events, my car REALLY needs a major tune up. My mind is already set on some stuffs that i will do after i finish up my Celica.
- A set of custom adjustables
-Pillowball
-Silvia lower arm
-Custom knuckle for super angle
-Spacers
-Some extra casters length
And thats all im targeting for now. I will join speedcity event again soon, but right after finishing up those list.
cheerios
