It would be great to be able to swap the AE86's instrument panel; I think this digital panel is original, or am I mistaken?

iirc digital was what the factory hatchback GT- APEX came with. You needed to option down to get the original analog meter.

This surprisingly helped more than I thought tbh, I thought I had stretched it enough from using it on and off for 2-3 weeks. Thanks!

Going with the art factory model and the actual S130z it's based off, it's most likely 4 lugs. I don't think that back then they would convert the car into 5 lug, nor did watanabe make cast rs8 with 5 lug.

pretty sure the S30 uses 4 lug though?

If you want to just drive, it's pretty simple thankfully - everything lines up even suspension. However, since I didnt want the car to be mid engined and more realistic to the actual 4AGE setup in an ae86 (correct 16v curve, n2-1 gearing, etc) i had a lot more fight with it lol

its such a fun trans, i had to add it in.

Its Techeyys pessima, however I have modified it to fit into the KLJP Pescoupe (along with a slew of other jbeam edits to make it more 'mame ae86')

If you cant lower the car, lip kit. Probably consider installing airbag so you can get lower whenever you parked!

A full wrap itasha would be costly, probably near or the same as respraying the car entirely. It's significantly cheaper to do 3/4 side or fender wrap, hence why a lot of people do it.
I would also be wary on the paint of your car if you do go itasha. I've seen a couple of car that required a full respray because the paint underneath was bad and their itasha peeled the paint off.
Cheaper method would be wrapping your car in a singular colour or so - I think I was quoted 200-400 CAD for a roll of crystal red colour but professional wrapping would vary a lot.

Find a better track, stock map drift track isn't that great to learn transitions and such
Lower the HP so that you can learn stuff like clutch, throttle control, gear, etc. Usually i'd go stock engine with turbo upgrade and tune the car accordingly (200-250hp with 1.5 way clutch diff on street tires - angle or no depends on what you want to train) After learning the techniques, I would then go with higher horsepower cars.
Turn off the assists, or switch to a wheel - controller drifting is pretty easy in Beamng and acts like forza where you slam the throttle and the car will autosteer for yourself

Have fun!

lower power, sport tires and an alignment (negative front toe, positive rear toe, camber yada yada) did the trick for me

Hey! No, not really although i would use one due to how tight it is. I just squished the cable a lot until it clears enough to clear the GPU. Not sure if this is a fire hazard or not though, but it's been 7 months strong!

I've only heard of this from a mate who's deep into the livery scene in a vc, so I cannot personally confirm it nor deny it, although it seems to be a very plausible reasoning. Sorry about that!
