Furai Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 thats because 4age horses are double as strong as normal horses. and kei is kicking the shit outa them. dont need power for heaps of angle. more speed! more lock does make it easier and look like you can drive better. but also fells way more awesome when you are super crossed up. if you got it sused with not much lock will be walk in the park with heaps Yeah Keis car can really go! What sort of ratios do the AE and KP boxes have and final drive? I think the main part of my problem is the gearing, second goes up to 100KMH so I have to be going fast or thats it. Your KP was impressive at Keis day but the 4AGE is a way better engine than the B6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 4.3 is the usual final drive in most 4age cars, fwd included. kp runs a 4.3 but is extra low geared with the 195/45's on it. think it still pulls 100k or close to it in 2nd. but got to 8500rpm to do it. i pretty much left it in 2nd gear all day, that day. definitely looked like you could do with a bit more power. if you go itb's pay attention to getting a a nice manifold setup. taper into the port and nicely matched up transitions. setup in the kp now, i was pretty picky with it. goes awesome for a stock cam'd engine, with mostly bolt on mods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was mainly in second but cant link the dam corner at the end of Meremere well. Im thinking of buying a 6-Speed to drop the ratios a bit. Would mean 85K top out instead of 100K and its an easy way to get the most out of this engine. Heres the gearing calc to have a look. http://www.flyinmiata.com/tech/gearing.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furai Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 Painted would look better, I went to a drift day today and had a pretty decent time thrashing. Many people had problems or crashes. I hit the wall in the same spot but harder so she is gonna need some work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furai Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 So went drifting at Hampton skidpan, first time I had driven there in 4 months and I got thrown straight into twin car action! Great fun chasing people but real hard when you have no handbrake and 80 odd powers. Anyway heres the vid, enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furai Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 Wanted some cooler drift wheels rather than stockers, so when these came up for $500 I snapped them up. They are Enkeis Roders in 15-8J +20 and 15-7J +20. Came on 195/45s. 2 Proxes and 2 directionals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kp60nick Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Haha can only just get in my driveway as it is. Scraping the under side is good for a car. It makes it lighter every time you drive it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
