KE70

[Ivan141]

The KE and TE have the same chassis, which is also identical to the ae86 chassis (just the basic structure offcourse...the unibody structures are different).
The difference between KE and TE would be the engine, just like with all the other toyota's the first letter is for the engine family.. which should be a 2T-(G/B) for the TE models and some K engine for the KE models.

BTW cookwibble, where are you from? The TE71 is a LOT more rare than AE86's in our parts, and for a good one probably more expensive too.

My recommendation: Buying and modding a KE70/TE71 is probably not in your budget either. Expect to put in a LOT of work, and a lot of money into that car to turn it into a drifter. Same goes for ae86's more or less. You can slide it, but it WILL break after a bit of abuse, which is when you will discover what it costs to fix an old toyota. Proper driftcars usually have a lot of money spent on stronger bits to keep them going..

If your really on a budget, but still want to drift, buy something expendable. For instance I also own a volvo 360, which is cheap and dirty, but it will go sideways with minor mods. If I drive it into a tree I can replace it without shedding a tear. I've got an article about guys drifting volvo 340's (with the smaller engines and probably variomatic drive). Another option (around here anyway) is an old BMW.. also perfect, cheap, rwd and powerfull.
