Take out all the unecesssary wheight. Is the cheapest.

Then:
Good seat (Recaro, Bride...)
Steering wheel
Proper suspension (GReddy, Toda, Tein)
Good swaybars (Cusco, TRD, Whiteline)
Good brakes (discs and pads or full kit)
Semi or full slick tyres (size will depend on application, track)
Additional suspension stuff, tension rods, lateral bar, strut bars.....

Then you can also get to the power side.
......
And also loose more wheight.
......

There are endless possibilities basically depending on what you want to spend and where you want to drive. If you have some restrictions of race class or keeping it road legal in your country.

hmmz another good tip is an helix differential. Its very good for making your wheel power go to the road instead of slide. Its also used in slalom.

"84 AE86 Zenki Blue Levin (project racer)

Also called Quattro, Quaife or Torsen diff. See also here:

And ofcourse best setup would also include lowering the car as much as possible to make the cars central gravity as low as possible. Wink

I would change that to:
driver = 60%
tires = 30%
Everything else = 10% (doesn't matter much where you spend the money).

Smartest thing is to spend the money according to that list too....60% into driving events/schools etc, 30% tire budget, maybe add pads and other expendables, 10% spent on all the issues that crop up...power, suspension etc..

And torsen diffs don't really offer any advantages...If you get one wheel into the air somehow its back to open diff mode.. Difficult to find and expensive too, so dont spend much time looking for one.

A wheel to steer the front of the car
A pedal to steer the rear

Hehehehe, and here we were always complaining on club4ag that people kept giving us addresses in the US while we're all in Europa.

Now you are on a European forum and complaining about not getting addresses in the USBig Grin

You may want to put your location in your user profile so people know that you are not in Europa and therefor suggest locations more suitable to your location Smile

I would try places like
http://www.passracing.com/ or
http://www.illegalgarage.com/ or
http://www.technotoytuning/
or tons of others you can find here: http://www.aeu86.org/viewtopic/ae86-shop-links/t/638

There are plenty of shops in the US that sell bits and bobs for the hachi roku Big Grin

Greetz,

Moved down under, no more hachi Sad
