oil catch can/ suspension question
Wow,
finally I got my AE86 going, after working on it every single minute on it for the last year.
I run in the engine, had some TPS switch/ignition trouble but it´s now running sweet!!!
Amazing little car Hurray!

[Image: AEU86 AE86 - oil catch can/ suspension question]

This I the first time I drove an AE86, (some track action, too) and have a few questions:
1st:
I´ve installed a Cusco catch can and use 10W40 syntetic oil. But it keeps filling up very quick. I know that RWD mounted AGE engines have this problem, but I´m talking about 0,7l per 10min of hard driving.
Is that normal???

2nd:
I also wasn´t able to drift it properly. There must be something wrong with my suspension.
I´m running adjustable shortened strut housings with TRD yelow short stroke shocks and H&R 8kg/mm springs. T3 NRCA´s and adjustable top mounts. stock arb.
Weired thing I noticed the front wheels on the left are close to rub the fender and the right side I´ve a gap with like 2cm, fenders are stock.
What could be bent or broken?
The rears are Koni yellow with non captive 6kg/mm springs. stock arb

Problem after a drift, when the car bounces back I´m getting understeer.
I´ve drifted other cars before and my drift expirienced co drivers where also suprised with the behavoir...
I know I have to much camber (on maximum) could that be the easy solution?
Not sure about the wheel alignment, could be off, too. But car drives pritty straight with hands of steering wheel.

If you drive around a track without the intesion to drift it shows normal oversteer behavoir...

I´m confused Banging head

Can anybody help, share some expirience? Dumb question
