Toyota Corolla E70 Drift. Is the KE70 good for drifting? (TE71, AE71, AE70, KE74, TE70, TE72...)

The Corolla E70 was the fourth generation of cars sold by Toyota under the Corolla nameplate. It was for sale between 1979 and 1987. This Corolla was offered in all body styles: two-door Sedan, four-door Sedan, two-door Hardtop Coupé, three-door Coupé, and three-door Liftback Coupé.The engines were not powerful in this Corolla, they all had 4 cylinder naturally aspirated engines with displacement from to but the weight of the car is low, so drifting is possible. Also engine swaps are popular for this model, like the legendary 4AGE. All models had Rear-wheel drive configuration, very similar chassis to the AE86. This Toyota is lightweight, but it also has a short wheelbase and it has a solid rear axle. These traits mean that its handling at the limit is quite twitchy. The driver needs to have quick hands and a really good sense for weight transfer in order to drift it successfully. Power is low, making it difficult to get sideways and harder to keep sideways in drift compared to more powerful cars,
