For All AE86 Enthusiasts...New or Old

Many of you will often hear or see the infamous line when asking about ae86's:

"goto club4ag.com"

It almost has become the adopted slogan and rule number 1 in the lengthy process of building and maintaing an ae. 86'ers who already know of the proclaimed site will nod in agreement or will reference it themselves. however, newbies to the ae86 scene might look at the aformentioned statement as a brush off; a hint of banishment or notworthiness. If the latter could be so far from the truth.

Not to defer traffic from this very site, but club4ag IS the definitive authority on ae86's. any question you ask, can and will be answered on that site. whether its drudging through the reference archives or asking a tech question, all there is to know about the hachiroku is contained on those pages.

Club4ag is a great resource to start research or to answer questions. Not only is it hosted by a man with great technical and historical information, but it attracts many likeminded people from all over the world who have experienced your querry one time or another.

I myslef, love to occasionally visit the club. it offers great technical insight and is a perfect place fo diy's trying to figure out the first step. From shiming and tuning your LSD to basic spring rate selection, it offers such a wide variety of topics relating to the ae86.

Sometimes the articles can be technically overbearing, but thats okay. there are more than a handfull of memebers who will gladly tone down the techy jargon into laymans terms so you can understand.

Therefore newbies should not think that they are being ignored or rejected the next time "go to club4ag.com" is suggested. Think the opposite as its probably the best peice of advice someone could give you.

curvy back roads are fun, but have nothing on a REAL track experience..

IMO one isn't 'better' than the other, its just a different style/experience

why am i not surprised you asked that

its by observation, take BM/HV videos as an example, on curvy mountain roads a driver's reaction is a huge factor, on a track (which normally isn't as 'intense' as constant U-turns) a good outcome is based on perfection, and the driver's knowledge of that car's limits

and i hate to use the word "uphill" and "downhill" but most tracks obviously lack the vertical motion present on a 'mountain'



about actually participating in a track, i'm not in a hurry, i got lots of time left to do that, i rather spend time knowing what piece of metal i'm riding on than 'testing its limits and performance'
