My 20v AE86 Levin - Drift/Track Spec

[Trixta]

Okay well I've just found out that this means "Angle, Distance, Entry Speed" which is a pretty cool phrase! Wouldnt mind getting it on a shirt lol!! It also means that if it was a track car in Japan then it probably must have been a drift car rather than a grip one.

Very true lol. Had to leave the car there that night and come back for it because basically the cop said to me "I'll see you outside and you'll be walking home", I replied "Sorry but I only bought the car a few days ago so havent got the log book back to NCT or Tax it", and then he replied "I dont give a fuck". Wasnt the most polite of lads fpmsl.

Over here not having tax would be pretty serious, however you cant really tax a car without the log book of the car, and so generally arent expected to if your only after purchasing it. You also cant really NCT a car without the log book. You might be able to tax and NCT a car based on its chassis number but I'm not sure on that, and nobody does it like that anyway. So Legally I was fine I think but I didnt want to risk having them take the car off me, so I just parked it up and came back for it when they were gone.

Might enter the Time Attack series in Mondello. Hopefully the Clubman class but might have to enter the Pros supposedly due to fibreglass panels. Planning on getting kill switches now fitted and see if the cage is up to regulations. If it is I might get in the last round or maybe the last two this year and see how it goes.

Everyone has a drift car these days and due to the huge shortage of tracks in Ireland (only Mondello and watergrasshill now) I can see it all collapsing a bit over the next few years, and Time Attack growing. However Time Attack only has Mondello (international and national layouts) so thats its downfall. You'd also have to be very good and have a big budget to make it anywhere in the drifting.

So i'm really weighing up my options and seeing what to do at the moment. I'll probably try both of them and see which I prefer.

I run my 180 in time attack pro class in mondello which Iv got fond of but as with all motorsports to stay at it money is a big factor so it may be only marginally cheaper than drifting

I know that only too well as its costing me a fortune to try and even enter lol!! Its just less likely I'll wreck the car in TA as easily as drifting, less likely being the key word there! But still hope to drift it, just maybe not at a very competitive level, unless of course I turn out to be quite good!

defo nicest hachi ive seen.

love the colour!

Just thought I'd throw up the video of my AE86 levin 20v getting dyno'd at Couture Auto on Tuesday. The car made 127.71Hp at the wheels and 156Hp at the fly, at 7,900Rpm. It made a max of 113ft/lb of Torque. I'd normally rev the car to 8,500 or maybe 9,000Rpm but with the trackday on Saturday I just told Nick to only go to about 8k. The last thing I needed was for something to go wrong lol and it was more for interest and fun than to find out real figures!! It was still making power all the way to 7.9k so I'd expect it to be somewhere in the 160-165Hp range when reved out fully. Which is a good figure considering most 20v levin bzr/bzg's were making in the 140's at Couture, and are notorious for being alot lower than factory figures.
Due to the freedom ecu thats in it (which although the best you can get for AE86's, the software is only available in Japaneese so unmapable in Ireland) the car is not running at optimum in that sense either. However Nick said he might give it a go if I get the software and connections for him which I should be able to do, and would be interesting to see what it could make then. So all in all I'm delighted, and for a car that only weighs about 850kg, and has a 4.8Fd with TRD gear set, its a nice amount of power to have.
I'll scan the sheets and throw them up when I get back to the home house tomorrow. But for now heres a pic and the video of the first and second runs (look out for a nice bit of flamage on the first onebt ).
I'd like to than Nick, Sonny and the rest of the staff of CDA and have to say its a great set-up. The flatscreen TV that lets you and not just the tuner see the graphs and figures is a great idea aswell, and I'd highly recommend them to anyone. Also doing the rolling road in Shootout mode prevents any fantastical flywheel figures, and so tells you the truth about your car, and doesnt just give you a false figure to keep you happy.

Thought I'd update this. The 4.778 Final drive has been fitted an is a nice upgrade, although motorways are a bit more annoying but not as bad as I was expecting.

I finally picked up the Takata Harness. Lovin the JDM goodness. Heres pics:

[Trixta]

Also got a Go Pro Hero Motorsport camera so should hopefully have some good videos in the near future to put up. The thing is tiny!!

[Trixta]

Also to bring it full up to date theres been the Super White Hi/lo HID's fitted and a BeeR Rev Limiter which unfortunately isnt working proper yet.

Also 4 Yokohama A048's trackday tyres have been ordered last Friday off Camskill.co.uk and should hopefully be here tomorrow.
