DIY Extended control arms for AE86 KE70 TE72 trueno Hachiroku levin Camber and Drift

In the garage cutting and welding control arms for my buddy Jason. Arms were extended 1.25 inches. This will give a little more camber and will help with turn in. Its best to push out ball joints and bushings before you cut and weld. Im not a professional, do this at your own risk.
The AE86 series of the Toyota Corolla Levin and Toyota Sprinter Trueno are small, front-engine/rear-wheel-drive models within the front-engine/front-wheel-drive fifth generation Corolla (E80) range - marketed by Toyota from 1983 to 1987 in coupé and liftback configurations.
Lending themselves to racing, the cars were light, affordable, easily modifiable and combined a five-speed manual transmission, optional limited slip differential, MacPherson strut front suspension, high revving (7800 rpm), twin-cam engine with oil cooler (e.g., in the US), near 50/50 front/rear weight balance, and importantly, a front-engine/rear-drive layout - at a time when this configuration was waning industry-wide.
Widely popular for Showroom Stock, Group A, and Group N, Rally and Club racing, the cars' inherent qualities also earned the AE86 an early and enduring international prominence in the motorsport discipline of drifting. The AE86 was featured centrally in the popular, long-running Japanese manga and anime series titled Initial D (1995-2013) - as the main character's drift and tofu delivery car. In 2015, Road & Track called the AE86 "a cult icon, inextricably interwoven with the earliest days of drifting."[11]

[@kelvinarreola]

Yea cringe worthy for sure

[@korosuchimu1479]

Are you going to box the bottom section? Nice hearing the specials

[@kelvinarreola]

My buddy started making plates so eventually that will be the plan, I’ve ran and bent them without gussets and they held up fine

[@brunorondan8391]

Nice video, do i need Camber plates or something?

[@kelvinarreola]

its always a good idea to dial in camber to be the same in front

[@leonardtangey8685]

Curious as to why don’t just use Corona control arms?

[@kelvinarreola]

this is cheaper and much more accessible for me

[@pornokid333]

youre brave....i wouldnt weld a control arm....cheaper can cost someone their life...

[@kelvinarreola]

Aftermarket control arms are also welded. I’ve crashed with extended arms . If it was aluminum I wouldn’t trust myself

[@LinkWarlock]

AE86 and TE72 have the same suspension parts? like bushing?

[@kelvinarreola]

Yes bushing and ball joints are the same

[@LinkWarlock]

@@kelvinarreola Thank you Bro, you saved me 😁

[@dfr9789]

do you need adjustable tension rod if u do this mod?

[@kelvinarreola]

Good question, I’ll say yes, or you can redrill the control arm.

[@StephanieDrifts18]
