Listen to Drifster, he has knowledge of all things Automotive. I agree, you need to stiffen up the back, and the suspension is key on the 86 since in stock form it has a tendency to understear.Originally posted by Driftster
Sr-5's are RWD guy..... and doesn't matter the brand...just get some reinforcment on the rear, even by just welding some rod iron bars to the frame under the carpet on the hatch.......and some upper and lower rear strut bars
i thought they had 3As. I'm pretty sure....but o well, not that important.Originally posted by Driftster
yeah...Sr-5's the coupe....only prob with it was..it had the 4A engine.....SOHC carburated **** heap...Lol..and it knocked when I first got it sooo bad...it was almost a REQUIRMENT that I had to get a new engine.....
First off, welcome to GTP. Now, I would recommend suspension. I'm not sure what's good out there, but here I only go with TRD. You can take everything out of the car if you want that small performace gain, but my Trueno has full interior with radio (original I might add, just newer Toyota speakers) and I do fine. Everyone else basically said everything else.Originally posted by [Jetstorm]-R
Back seats, tear 'em out.
Seat belt? tear 'em out
flooring? tear'em out
audio system? tear' it out
your 86 now is light, very light..
now,
A) get a new suspension
B) get a rollercage
C)Bucket Seats with 5 point harness
D) wheels.., lots of wheels
E) LSD.. I think 2 way would work fine..
that's it for now..
good luck..
