[KristianAE86]

Hi guys.

I´m Kristian.. an 34 year drifter from Sweden.

I own Swedens first even HachiRoku - It´s an 1986 Levin Hatchback.

I found it in Denmark & it cost me 1800 Euro´s The car was like this when i bought it.....



I have been Drifting for about 18 months in my AE86 Levin GT-S

The car is totally stripped, with two racing seats, 6-point rollcage (45x3mm), fuelcatchtank with Volvo T5R fuelpump, near stock 4AGE motor with TRD headers, 2" exhaust & a 5" japstyle muffler, 14" drift wheels etc

You can see som pics here >>






I organize DriftDay´s here where i live.. & the last time i rented Koenigsegg test track - 26 cars came to drift & over 500 people were there to wtch.

Hi Kristian,
Thanx for coming over. Always cool to have the owner of one of the wildest european hachi's around. Do you still have the pics of your car build-up online? I think most of the guys over here havent seen them yet.
We dont have a very big drifting scene over here in the netherlands, but it has definately started now that a few drift-days are being organised. Only trouble is that it's still quite expensive (100 euro for a drift day..I'd rather waste my tires on a parking lot).

Greets,

Ivan

Just watched that movie you posted. Very nice Many BMWs spinned out , good good good j/k

Drifting is slowly becoming more popular here but indeed, costs alot of money to go on the tracks here. Also all the TFNTF straight line stickertuning I have 3000 speakers in the car lovers have made going out to the neighberhood industrial area a sure bet to get tickets from the police around here

Still, who knows, maybe this will change soon, more and more groups starting to organise trackdays and such....

Or Opel Corsa lovers fitting a Vectra V6 turbo engine under the hood: very fast on the streight but cornering is absolutely out of the question.

Anyways, welcome! Awesome stuff you are posting!

I thought you had coilovers on order a while ago..my bad. I just ordered my tokico blues today, should be receiving them in a few weeks. You sure you dont mean HTS or illumina? Tokico HP (blues) would blow prematurely
if your car is lowered more than 4cm since they are full length shocks.
You do have an interesting choice of springs...most of us just buy one of the few lowering kits that are available over here.
