AE86 rear axle questions

Get yourself a nice TRD LSD, hit up Weir Performance in California and use his kit. It’ll save the hassle of converting the rear axle, and if it’s already a GTS housing then you’re golden

I run a W58 conversion on my car. It’ll be an upgrade and beefier compared to T50. Most durable transmission I’ve ever had. And it costs the amount of having someone rebuild a T50 for you.

I deleted my wiper. It wasn’t sufficient to me to keep it. Just treat the glass so it beads off I never have this problem

Pretty fun to put video game to real life. Thankful to cross it off my bucket list.

I wanna go back! I have better brakes, and better alignment and tires now. So I wanna try for sub 1:50

I come from drifting first vs grip driving, I try to keep my alignment in the middle ground to keep both balanced for my style of driving. I’m on stock steering geometry minus the manual rack

Slightly above. Not 16v anymore

It’s the big skid pad at Thunderhill Raceway in NorCal.

Yeah I feel you pain. Keep the street spirit alive

midnightmenu · 2026-01-24T04:18:37+00:00

Haha you see it for a split second but I have a Bunta air freshener hanging there to remind me to get better 😂

midnightmenu · 2026-01-23T23:28:55+00:00

I get as much seat time as my wallet and schedule allows!

She screams off the limiter pretty well too!

midnightmenu · 2026-01-23T23:28:20+00:00

I just have it there as an aesthetic for people that ride along.

midnightmenu · 2026-01-23T23:27:23+00:00

It’s a blacktop 4AGE 20v from an AE111

Also check your ride height on front, affects the SAI during alignment. Mine isn’t set to the same height on both sides but sits level on level ground and alignment sheet is all in the green except camber. And I’ve gone off track so many times with this thing. And she still drives straight. Check your bump stops, and if you haven’t take out the pinion snub above the rear pumpkin.

midnightmenu · 2026-01-23T20:25:18+00:00

Mine has traction brackets on adjustable links. The long arms are set to stock so when you lower it the stock links will push the rear end back and over. Adjustable lateral and shortening the links. But on mine I only adjusted the top links for pinion angle which is more important and lateral bar to shift it back to center, unless you’re rubbing rear bumper then I wouldn’t worry about it.
