FD Drift Build UP

I've been thinking about doing a FD drift build up for some time.
Between researching the single turbo forums and the AI forums, I've been
neglecting this portion of the build.

So, please post your ultimate FD builds

-parts/salon
-setup
-suspension

Even with those, its still not very good. Really the best would be cut knuckles, widebody fenders, and low low offset wheels.

lol....I should have done mine like that. I cut about an 1"1/4 off the original tierod mounting point and now I just have to weld them. That looks actually pretty good because you can still run an oem end and from the looks it might correct bumpsteer also.

Ultimate FD for me is mad mikes 4 rotor FD......uhmmmmm!!!!!!!!

Now a start level FD:

-Stock engine on stock twins
-Reliability mods...All of them!!!
-A set of good coilovers
-Angle mod. super angle tierod or modded knuckles
-E-brake....either good pads or a CNC hand staging brake


I would start there and work on mostly your driver mods. 75% of drifting is how the driver reacts to a car sliding at 60+mph. Shit is awesome. Specially in a built RX7 spinning to 9k.......

If you want a set of Superangle tie rods and/or Super*Now tie rod ends, I will hook you up!

Looks like mods deleted the GB thread, here was the interest thread. http://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=701394

An FD too? LS1?


What are you doing about clearances to the LCA and front sway bar?

Also, I remember my brake caliper coming very close to something at full lock with just steering rack spacers.

I have eyecandy's tie rods and my wheels 7x10 +25 would rub the FLCA. I plan to do the FD knuckle mod and probably run a 17x9.5 0 offset.

i would take a single turbo setup on an fd as the ultimate reliability mod.

It sounds like you have drifted both a rotary and lsx'ed rx7, I was wondering your reviews comparing the two in a drifting environment? Would you consider one easier to control and throttle?
