Widebody FB TII swap + tons of aftermarket - Page 2

well, i dunno about that comment. if the stock steering system has been refurbished, then that's a great start, and the AE-86 corolla has a solid rear end, yet IT handles amazing like.

I think that with new suspension, and those wide ass tires, this car will be awesome in the twisties due to the sheer amount of mechanical grip. (that's if you adjust it right, of course)

I hope your right, it will take some fine tuning. I will have to take it out to a local track when it's done and see how it does in the corners.

Corner weighting FTW!!! That should handle waaaaaaaay better than 90% of the Fb's on the road I would imagine. That doesn't change that a rack/pinion would still own all and should be kept on the list of things to do later.

IMO no sports car should be without R/P sterring. No matter the cost reasoning.

Awsome ride again, makes me almost start installing the rear flares on mine.
