All I have is a front pipe with no cat, and a track pipe. Also a panel filter.

I used FA20Club for my tune. Easy to deal with. Car has more pep, but more importantly more revs, and I'm rid of the stock rev limit death feature.

You talk to them about the steering kit at all?

Thats down the line-like awhile. They are really busy with new shop and its just taking a bit to get stuff out.

My car feels sluggish recently. I just got my first oil change at jiffylube about 1000 miles ago, only because the dealership doesn't give you your first oil change until 5000mi. I'm wondering if it's because of the cheap tires I put on the back to drift. Anyway, car's stock, needs a lot of work done.

It doesnt need a lot of work. It drifts fine stock.

If you can, get a flash tune to get rid of the stock rev limit issue. And get some better tyres for the front. Run the front tyres at about 26-28psi cold (aiming for 30psi warm) and put heaps in the rears. Ive put upto 55psi cold in the rears. It is super loose. Will be more than enough oversteer than you need.

As you get better, you'll want to put less air in the rear tyres, for more grip. 45psi for example gives noticeably more grip.

@diss7 thanks for the tire info I'll try this, I have the st 17mm rear sway bar and stock front sway. What should my rear be set too on the adjusters to get sideways easyer? Thanks

With 55 psi in the back, it'll be plenty even without the bar in at all. I'm in between rear swaybars (am waiting on new one) so last drift day I have a upgraded front and stock rear, and it still had plenty of oversteer.

Just put it on the middle setting and get some seat time.

Running the pressures I've suggested will be a good starting point. Most people forget (or simply don't know) how much tyre pressures affect handling.

@diss7 I've had plenty if time street and track on middle setting it feels good but not sure what way to adjust it for more oversteer. Keep forgetting about tire pressure going to give that a try

Assuming its a multi point blade type sway bar, towards the tips is softer, towards the main bar is stiffer. So you want to move it further in.

Word. I had 215/40s with 400 treadwear. It slid out real nice.
