Anyone else into drifting follow my train of thought on this?
With my sr swapped s14 240 I was only running 15 inch rims with about 230 hp give or take with the red top and what minor mods I had.
Seemed to work fine then so wondering why everyone goes to 18 inch rims nowadays. Maybe I am a little more old school.
how will a smaller diameter make it easier to drift?
