The Drifting Thread

[Ryaquinn]

I like to use 225/50/17 Continental Contiprocontact. I get them for dirt cheap, they are super predictable at any wear level and they last all day long with a high treadware. I use the 225/50 because I have found with stock horsepower that all that extra sidewall helps me stay in drift.

YOu can make them tighter via the cable near the disc or you can adjust the cable at the base of the e-brake.

There's one on there in particular that will fuck your world up. You'll know exactly which one when you do the course walk through. You're going to need to stay committed though if you want to link the course.

Best advice that can be said about TMS. A friend of mine jumped his car off of the rumble strips in question permanently bending his towers on his car resulting in us doing a tube front on his car.

FWIW, Planning on drawing up the dual caliper/rear hydro brackets this weekend. Finally got the garage all cleaned up and waiting on funds for the FD project.

It will do just fine, stock power is just right for USAIR (although just a tad more wouldnt hurt). Ive posted this video before but this is when I brought it to Shawano stock.

My friends with just coilovers, wheels, and some exhaust work that probably doesnt add any power.

These cars are so capable in just stock form or with just minimal modifications

Just found this thread on the forum. Great videos, you guys are pros!

Here's a video of me doing some drifting at a trackday. They said drifting not allowed, but the track was empty No handbrakes or clutch kicking, just initiating the drift with the brakes on the faster turns and the throttle on the slower turns.

My car is stock except for a shorter final drive. Still running the stock Primacy tyres. Super happy with the car. Usable and comfortable as a DD and then can do this at the track.

What are you running for rear camber, i got coilovers and LR is 1.6 RR is 3.0 so im kinda holding off till i get some adjustable rear control arms, im running 225/40's front and will prolly throw on stock rears. Wont be able till get up there till the end of the summer
