Tandem Assassin AE86, 2009 Edition
We’ve made some minor changes/adjustments to the AE86 this year. We started by swapping to a new shell. The original shell has been competing since 2005 and is in desperate need of a rebuild. We found a couple of cracks at major hard points and agreed that it needed attention.
During the process of rebuild we’ve managed to further reduce the weight and installed a new fiber rear hatch without a spoiler. Roll cage design was also tweaked to increase rigidity. The original motor was fitted and mated to a new exhaust system, courtesy of TONKKA. We’ve made slight changes to their original design and gained an additional 10hp @ the wheels. We’ll be releasing a “TDL Spec” TONKKA system once the design is finalized.
Suspension geometry was tweaked to improve traction, angle and agility. The car won its first event @ the final round of Star Drift Challenge Series 2008 2 weeks ago.
