Risky Devil BRZ - Daily / Drift car
 

Picked this bad boy up two weeks ago after about a 4 month wait... Absolutely love the car, but can't stand driving anything stock. I picked up the wheels the day after I bought the car, and the coilovers about a week later...

Here's a little install/review of the Stance Super Sport coilovers I put on:

And here's a few quick shots I took after the coilover install:

I still need to mess with tire sizing, probably lower it a bit more, and get an alignment, but I think it came together pretty awesome for not much money/work... More to come!

What wheels are those ??

Risky devil doing it right in Chicago as always. Keep it up!

I think it's low enough already, maybe too low depending on your daily drives. I think your camber is excessive in the rear and some adjustable rear lower control arms would be a good investment. After lowering mine and dialing out the excess rear camber with LCAs the car became oversteery again like stock with wider wheels and sticky tires.

Wheel specs? And how much are those coilovers? Looking good so far!

:thumbsup:

I think it's too high... I don't think the camber is excessive... And I'm taking the 255/35's off the rear in favor of crappy 225/40's.

I may get the rear lower control arms to make the wheels more flush, or I may just space the rears.


18x9.5 +38. Coilovers are about $1300 retail.

Get 40 sidewalls 225 so stretch and moar camber. Like -7 degrees. Hellaflush haha. That'll be somewhat like my setup till I can afford some rpf1s hahaha then I'll go function > form

spray tint tails?

..think more stretch and less camber would make the wheels look sickk.

The front has 225/40/18, I think I'm going to put those in back and get 225/35/18's for the front. I won't be adding any camber... This is not a function>form setup, the car will be driven hard and tracked.

Yeah, painted... Still not sure on whether i'll be straightening camber or spacing, but smaller rear tires are happening for sure.

i hate you

EARL! Love you!

Looks good mang. Any rubbing on the front?

Well I'll be interested to see how it performs on a road course with even less ride height than that, less suspension travel and that much rear camber with stretched tires. This car tends to understeer at the limit when it's much lower and stiffer without R compounds, even then it requires lots of driving skill to really get the most out of it.

Specifically, regarding camber:

I like the red tails against the red paint.

white on red super clean man! and also was your rear tail lights wrapped or sprayed?

Nope, just a little on the bumper tab out back

This ain't my first rodeo homeboy

I remember you from Clublexus, What did you end up doing with your sc?

Given that, surely you'd have learned by now that's not the fastest way around a track. As an HPDE instructor, I fail to see the point in drifting at track days that aren't dedicated to drifting, but whatever floats your boat. Just trying to help in case you ever wanted to improve your lap times instead of sliding around for fun, which I totally support either way, just not at normal track days where performance driving is the focus.

Damn risky, i saw ur car all over the lexus forums, now i trade in my red is300 for a frs, and i run into u on this forum! :) alot of people on here are going for the "oem track car" so im sure ur gonna get criticism, but i like seeing the different directions people are going with this car.

Agreed! This one will look good sideways as a dedicated street/drift setup.

Parted it out and built the E30

I don't care what the fastest way around the track is. I'll be drifting at drift days, when did I ever express any interest or plans to go to a normal track day?

In your coilover install thread I assumed you meant the car would see normal track days as well. I still need to check out a drift day with my stock wheels and tires so I can learn the illest way around a track. Looking forward to seeing more pics. :thumbsup:

your car siccck! any drift vids? Very interested.

nice!
is this risky devil as in http://vimeo.com/34437223 ??
because damn you guys got some sick cars and good driving skills lol

Not yet, still breaking the car in.

Yup, the same. :thumbsup:

Car looks great. The wheels add much pizzazzz. Definately grabs your attention. Well done and enjoy.

looks great!

Looks good dude. I will bring my BRZ out next time I visit and hit some spots up with you guys.

Rabble rabble, grip vs. drift, rabble rabble.

Do it up! we can have 6-7 frs/brz's out streeting at once, haha.

PERFECT!

Wow, so after all that, I get a warning from the moderators for "insulting another member", and they delete half of my thread.

Thanks guys, what a fucking joke.

That's right. No matter how warranted any member may think it is to insult another member, it won't be tolerated.

Report any bad behavior and let us deal with it instead of violating site rules by insulting.

And the deleted posts include both posts by the member you insulted, and your responses to those deleted posts.
