I got the pleasure of driving this car this week.... Best car...... Steering and handling is truly amazing
joined 2008 only 20 posts JRiftin ??? who is this guy?? ha ha
well yeah the more i have been thinking about it the more this car has really dropped into the realm of how i have wanted it for ages
in the past when driving fast she would move around abit under hard braking and then out of corners a very loose sort of feeling
the set up was stock LCA Neg rca and a worn steering rack and caster arms only allowed 3-4 deg
Now i have rose jointed LCA no rcas quick rack and able to run 5 deg caster
also while i had all the front struts out i worked out the different settings on my adjustable shocks (no idea what they were set on before) now have them set on 2 out of 1-4
on a long drive on some fantastic twisty roads the car now feels so planted so confident under hard braking and so stable out of the corner and that is with my crappy 14s and cheap tyres??
my conclusion is my steering input is now so accurate and spot on that i am keeping the car much more balanced with smoother inputs
and the NEG rca i feel really upsets allot of that
in short car is the best it has ever been ! and that 300km all on my own just me and the car was the best driving experience i have ever had!

took the car up the Canberra for an all Japanese car show AKA hard parking in a car park
had a few electrical issues blowing fuses?? so dident get to wash the car
but lets face she is no show queen even when it is clean ha ha
great turn out and we had 6 Ae86s there! thats more than most 86 street meets iv been to
parked next to JRiftins blue weapon with a turbo 4age
Later that night the ACT 86 crew showed me how they 86 and let me tell you they now how to show an outsider a good time!
