Lack of steering angle? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

epson1 · 11-11-2012, 02:28 AM

I know only about 3 people on this board actually drift but has anyone noticed the lack of steering angle? It makes me sad.

Any vendors want to step up to the plate and make some knuckles and rack spacers?

After seeing how much steering angle drifters want...good luck without a widebody kit or at the least some ugly fender extensions. The fenderwell is just not deep enough for some drift only steering angles. Theres some pics somewhere on this board about a monster 2JZ GT86 that they made for drifting that had a wider front track and ridiculous steering angle. Also looked like a crab imo...too damn wide.

I'm checking with a buddy at Powered by MAX. He runs the San Diego shop and recently added an FRS to his stable, so I'm sure he'll be making something soon. So far I just see wheel spacers on his site, but there could be more in development.

I know PBM has gotten their hands on a car and started some projects.

Not enough fenderwell? Have you noticed the whole inner area is a plastic cover? You're obviously don't drift but that's ok.

Anyway, how many cars can you name that have more steering angle from the factory? You're implying something is wrong here...
Maybe Toyota and Subaru should have hired you instead.

He said that it'll be one of the last parts they come out with. Sorry, no more info than that, and I couldn't say how long it'll be.

Hmm cars with more factory angle, just stating the ones I've driven but I'm sure I'm missing some
-every S chassis made
- mkIII supras
-r33
-soarer
-GS300(400)
And possibly
X80 chasers but that is a toss up.

You should probably leave now

You should probably build your own car or develop your own steering parts since you are such an extreme drifter.

What happened to that exhaust you were working on? < I'm not being a smart ass there.

they have something that is supposed to help with the rear axle issues in the works... which is hopefully coming out soon.

the front suspension of the 86 was basically made to accept angle modifications. you guys are going to freak out when some of these kits start hitting the market

Portland speed industries is working on a few suspension solutions

steering knuckles, rear adjustable camber arms, rear sub-frame and diff spacers, and many other things
