Do you drift? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Drftfan · 05-26-2013, 11:09 AM

I bought this car over an evo simply because I wanted to get a pure rwd to get back into drifting with. I debated just buying another 240sx but the frs is surprisingly similar.
Anyone else?

BlaineWasHere · 05-26-2013, 11:29 AM

Nope, I grip.

I got it over the BRZ in part because it's more tail happy.

After getting tail happy with it, I kinda regret not getting the BRZ; however, my front bumper makes me feel better.

240SX is probably a more practical drift car as they're much less expensive, and parts are rampant.

I am planning on building a 240 again. Just not until we get back to SoCal.
The problem with 240s is finding a decent one that hasn't been beat to shit.

No, being an old fart I can reach my pleasure threshold by just taking a nice, slightly agressive drive which I enjoy doing. No matter how low or high your driving expectatins might be, this car does a beautiful job of satisfying.

Why as a matter of fact, yes I do

...but only accidentally

There are a couple pretty active drifters on this forum. Personally I just occasionally slide around empty corners

You could pretty easily install BRZ springs. The only difference is the spring rates.

I bought the car for the sole purpose of drifting. Already did an event with it. Check out my build thread and if you have any questions, I'm more than happy to help

dem00n · 05-26-2013, 12:27 PM

Yes.

And you don't even have to do any mods.

Fucking beautiful.

I haven't really done any drifting in the FR-S, but I'll shred it up in the S13.

Sonolin · 05-26-2013, 02:51 PM

Love drifting with this car. No other car has made me so curious of "drifting" than this one.

I plan on doing grip racing semi competitively, but plan on at least trying drifting on a track once. There's actually a drifting track right near me!

on the stock tires its incredibly easy to drift an 86.
