COTW: 3GSTE AE86

I usually browse around Club4ag once a week to check out whats happening in the marketplace, to see what sort of things are for sale. Club4ag is the product of many, many, many great AE86’s, and other classic Toyota’s. This week I found a great car, and decided it was good enough to be the Car-of-The-Week. This weeks COTW is a 3GSTE powered AE86. There is not really much to say about the car, I am going to let the pictures, and specs, speak for themselves.

Fifth Gear: The Lexus LS460

Tom Ford plays in the amazing new Lexus LS460 - a car so clever it can drive itself down a motorway, automatically steering between the white lines. It’s laden with impressive technology, but at £71,000 we came to the conclusion you could do better for less.

Ferrari Enzo on the track and drifting in the corners

The Braking Drift How-To (And why it works)

For a braking drift you’re essentially keeping the front tires on the hairy edge of their traction limit and making the rears exceed theirs.

Setting up a car this way is easily done by reducing the effect of the frontal sway bar and lowering the dampening effect of the front shocks.

Suspension 101: Stiffer is Better?

Car club meetings and car shows are home to a strange, if not disturbing phenomenon.

Classic JDM car of the week: 1979 Nissan Skyline GT EL Sedan

I am going to admit, my first reaction to this car was “whoa!”, because I have never seen a 79′ Skyline Sedan before. This is one amazing car that I found when browsing for JDM imports on google, and found a nice little site called Terra2Imports thats based in Canada. But this car is a beaut’, I love the rims on it, and the way its dropped out, looking really clean with a Old School JDM Bippu style to it. I also like the exposed front-mount oil cooler, Japanese car tuners never cease to amaze me.
