ae86 and ae92 differences

[mort27]

not really parts wise but driving. i know the ae86's are rwd and ae92's are fwd. handling, speed, car size, realiability, important part differences..........

[micro214_kp61]

RWD = fun! need i say more? hehehehe

[browner]

I drive a AE92 it's fun but not like an AE86. I live out in the country so a AE92 is a little more practical for me. When it comes down to it, it's very hard to compare.

I love my ae92 but want an ae86 because I want a rwd car and have had such a great time with my toyota

The ae92 has a wider body and sits lower than an ae86. You have the different motors offered. the 86 didn't come with a 4af / 4afe. There was also the small port 4age. The ae92 gts seats hold you better and look nicer. they actually share alot of parts, what can be shared from a rwd to fwd platform. The ae92 has cup holders >.<

so with rwd does the rear slide out often, and is it controlable?

[Flashmn]

Why wouldnt it be controllable, the tail doesnt slide out that much in an AE86 because of lack of power and torque, atleast during summer. Winter is another beast.

^if the tail slides out and you cant fix it, yeah i knew during winter it would be bad but just not dry.

All depends on how you drive it.
I drive a RWD V8 with wide tires year round and have no problems.

[RedruM]

its like any other rwd car ... the rear tail will swing out...
the only thing it comes down to is if you know how to drive....
if not then you crash
if you do then you'll make the rear swing out and have even more fun ever chance you get.

In other words.. if you're a n00b.. don't buy a RWD car.

[mort27]

^thats ok pal i think i could handle it

[REN69]

I hope so too.. FWD and RWD are like night and day when it comes to performance and bad weather driving.

not once you get used to it. I have seen people who drive rwd in the snow just as fast as some people drive fwd. In reality the fwd gives you a false sense of assurence. Feeling fairly controled in bad weather. But once you lose them most people don't know how to gain control back and unless you have amazing rear tires in the back you won't in the winter. In a rwd you KNOW how slippery everything is.
We are the generation that drives fwd cars... Our parents drove mostly rwd and they drove big sports cars that had 70% of the weight in the front lol Some even drove around with slicks in the winter :P. Our generation gets a rwd car with snow tires and we whine.. doesn't grip enough blah blah... lol

What is the paranoia with RWD? Every single pickup truck is RWD, and even the smallest one has a lot more torque than a lowly Corolla. Then there are the larger cars (Lincolns, Caddys, etc) plus the V8 sports cars. Do we see all these vehicles sliding, fishtailing, and losing control all over the place? 20 years ago most cars were RWD, and yes - people drove them in the winter and didn't die.
There is nothing dangerous with RWD. If you floor the gas pedal in the rain during a turn you deserve to crash with whatever car you're driving. If you drive normally you won't notice ANY difference at all.

pick ups are the worst in the winter. They fishtail alot lol
it's called sand bags..
