I've done my first four drift events at club loose Englishtown this past year. First two events were on the back track on the road course (and the front track at night but i sucked). 2014 FR-S. Car only had muffler delete and handbrake button.
https://youtu.be/wmbgi***Bs4

Then they had a beginner's only event on the go kart track. Car setup was the same.



Last weekend was the second go kart track event except this time i installed front camber bolts and pulled the abs fuse instead of just holding the traction control button. The car felt great and i'm definitely learning.



Car drifts great stock and i still have a lot to learn but a little angle, power and coilovers wouldn't hurt lol

Ended up snapping two studs when changing my wheels so I installed stronger ones.

Has anyone had problems with the power steering stiffening up? I am using partshop max angle kit and my steering stiffens up if drifting on grippy tarmac. Not sure why this is happening. Anyone had this before?

I have the same "problem" i would say its coused by bump steer and steering radius overall.

Are you guys running spacers in front?

Just picked up a 2013 as a second drift car! Are you guys that run the PBM diff and subframe risers still having broken axle issues? Turbo, 275whp, 1”-1.5” lowered (I’m guessing)

Love this post and am glad to have read all 103 pgs. Thanks to all involved.

Wisefab vs. Pbm angle kits, please advise???
I currently have a few sets of 18x9.5 +40 wheels with lots of 265 35 18 tires. Will either kit allow me to keep them?

And

Is it possible to I stall an abs bipas switch so I don't have to keep pulling fuse, has anyone else done it?

I can tell you that I drive with 255/35/18 tires and using Megan Racing rack ends inner tie rods which increases my angle from 17 degrees to 22-23 degrees, did you try them?

I'm thinking about purchasing drift knuckles Unicorn Angle Kit to add some more angle -I haven't got them yet as I'm using my car as a DD and I'm afraid that that having this set will convert the car to a track car =/

You can check out some of my drift the the following links

Yes, Efr 6758 - around 450whp, although in the video I'm driving on low boost, around 330whp.
